=== Activity === ==== hardware-n-kernel-standard-architecture ==== * Reposted gas adr instruction fixup workaround patch for comment, with minor modifications as suggested by Nicolas Pitre.

* Discussions around enabling kprobes for Thumb-2.

* Getting started on NEON/VFP registers in coredumps.

* Omap Thumb-2 patches now queued by Kevin Hilman for 2.6.39. (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux- omap-pm.git for_2.6.39/pm-misc)

* Thumb-2 kernel building is now enabled for OMAP, after adding -fno-optimize-sibling-calls as a workaround for the module loading issue encountered last week.

* Received a Genesi Efika smartbook which I will use as a target when working on imx51 Thumb-2 support when their 2.6.35 merge becomes available: should be a useful target, since while the linaro imx51 kernel seems to be in a good condition with regard to Thumb-2 compatibilty, it doesn't have a full set of drivers or full power management support yet -- which is where Thumb-2 issues are likely to arise.

==== miscellaneous ==== * Set up an mx51evk board in the linaro validation lab. The linaro-m release is not mature enough and is not fully usable, due a lack of network support etc, so upgrading to a more recent linaro snapshots kernel was needed.

=== Plans === * Post an RFC proposal for adding the NEON/VFP state in coredumps.

* Try and reflash U-Boot on the validation lab u8500 boards.

* Set up the remaining Freescale boards in validation lab.

* Write up the output from the Freescale i.MX BSP review discussion, and post for comment.

=== Issues === * (none)

=== Absences === * Mon 2011-03-14 -- Fri 2011-03-16
