Hi Eric,
while testing the Quick Start Board, I quickly tried several kernel built from git://git.linaro.org/bsp/freescale/linux-linaro.git
- lt-3.2-imx5 : needs some fixes to build, boots but X fails to run
(with 11.09.01 BSP's userland on the VGA output)
lt-3.2-imx6: needs some fixes to build, fails to boot
lt-3.1-2011.12: don't remember the result
The above should be OK to build and boot as long as I can remember. Could you provide the fix and error logs so the Landing team could help fix the issues?
- rel_imx_2.6.38_12.01.01 : fails to boot
This is actually the tag from Freescale BSP, we did a direct import of the Freescale BSP and this was the tag to their 2012.01 ER4 release.
I can provide log & more details for each configuration later if needed.
This will be very helpful.
The instructions on the Wiki ( https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX53QuickStart ) seems outdated.
Could you help point out which part is outdated, so it can be corrected later?
Is this platform still supported by Linaro ?
What is the Freescale Landing team's recommended tag to use to test linux-linaro on iMX53QSB ?
for imx53 QSB, I think lt-3.1-ubuntu will be the one, the latest tag will be fine.
What are the recommended GPU & VPU libraries to use to get the best of the i.MX53 with linux-linaro ?
So the LT actually did a lot work modifying and packaging the GPU/VPU code from Freescale but those are only available privately due to license problem preventing us from re-distribute freely in public. Linaro is currently working on a click-through license agreement infrastructure, once that's done, the work will be made available publicly I assume.
Further questions you could ask Guodong for details, I'll still be available to try my best to answer within my knowledge, but could be in slow response.
Thanks
