== [ACTIVITY] (Dave Martin) 2011-02-14 - 2011-02-18 ==

=== Activity === ==== hardware-n-kernel-standard-architecture ==== * Upstream link-time discard versus SMP_ON_UP problem still not fixed. Russell suggested a patch; currently trying to confirm whether it got merged anywhere. * omap3/4 Thumb-2 compatiblity patches re-posted (again). By reverting the low-level PM functionality to ARM for correct interoperation with firmware, positive PM test results have now been seen on omap3. * Spent a bit of time trying to understand coredump generation on ARM.

==== miscellaneous ==== * Cambridge validation lab support: * Tried to rescue the new, broken vexpress board. No success yet, but I now have a firmware upgrade which I think should fix the problem.

* Tried to set up u8500 boards, but failed due to a lack of serial breakout boards. ==== Plans ==== * Discuss prioritisation for outstanding kernel tasks.

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

==== Absences ==== * Possible absense of a couple of days in early March (unconfirmed).
