Andy Green has worked on a set of patches adding many features to OMAP4 such as HDMI audio/video, FM receiver, etc. Before I merge that into the Linaro kernel tree I need some assurance that this won't break existing OMAP3 support, especially video. The branch is available in the linux-linaro-2.6.38 Git repository on git.linaro.org, in the "testing" branch.
So please if you have an OMAP3 board and can perform some testing that would be appreciated.

Nicolas, Andy:
I noticed this commit:
This introduces a defconfig version of Sebastien Jan's reference config for Panda.
To use the defconfig, you need to use the following scheme to expand it back to being a full config
make ARCH=arm defconfig cat arch/arm/configs/omap4_defconfig >>.config make ARCH=arm oldnoconfig
From Seb Jan about the original reference config -->
Note on OMAP3 based boards: Deactivate OMAP3 based boards since their support has not been integrated (some boards would not build). Keep OMAP3 and ARCH_3430 because OMAP4 support is not yet properly supported by configuration and dependencies (ex: v4l2, DSI)
Does that mean that with this tree we cannot have a single omap[34] kernel?
Thanks, John

Which omap3 boards aren't building? your 2.6.38 is pretty close to 2.6.39 right?

No you can build the combined kernel OK now. In this commit -->
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/andygreen/kernel-tilt.git%3Ba=patch%3B...
I enabled overo, pandora, beagle, zoom, igep0020 in the defconfig and it built OK. I updated Seb's defconfig commit to use this new differential defconfig stuff recommended by npitre (and document how to unpack it since it wasn't obvious) but thought I had better leave his original status in the commit log until it's confirmed it actually works or not on OMAP3 not just builds now.
I have a Beagle XM, but l-m-c breaks here writing to a real SD card and the alternative method (3G image) takes several hours from the ubuntu vm I am running it from. I plan to meddle with that some more today.

linaro-media-create. It's used to bind linaro hardware packs to a rootfs tarball. The alternative method is to have it create a big image file to disk, in this case a 3GByte image file, and dd that on to the SD Card.

Still... what's wrong with simply doing:
make omap4_defconfig
and be done with it?

Wow that is a lot simpler... if you know it.
When trying to figure this out I googled the original patch that added the savedefconfig and it doesn't mention this Makefile magic; I guess it was added later.
In the meanwhile, I guess I learned something about conifg merging by hand.

In fact, this has been there almost forever. The rule is in scripts/kconfig/Makefile on line 354.
There are a lot of nice Make targets available. Just try "make help".

Still, the fact is before you can just copy a whole config from arch/arm/configs to be .config and vice-versa which has been my usage pattern. Now with these optimized defconfigs, that doesn't work; it doesn't hurt to document how to use the new way (even better with your make target method). It's possible I'm the only guy who missed the day at school where they talked about arbitrary defconfig targets in Makefile but I doubt it.

For some years I used O= in my build scripts because when building multiple targets from the same tree continuously it can be a nice timesaver. Likewise I use sparse and so on from there. I agree there are lots of nice Make targets in there.

Certainly very brief.. While it works for testing hwpacks and rootfs's already created, the next obvious steps "howto to try my own kernel" or "how to add my own package to rootfs" are kinda missing.

Sure. And you can still copy arch/arm/configs/foo_defconfig to .config and it should work (maybe a "make oldconfig" needed not to be prompted for all missing options). But "make foo_defconfig" is shorter.
It's possible I'm the only guy who missed the day at school where they talked about arbitrary defconfig targets in Makefile but I doubt it.
Well, most people are not aware of those goodies, so don't feel ashamed. I'm sure you weren't alone at the beach that day. ;-)

Hi Riku,
Correct, that page is brief. Allow me put in a plug for the whole HowTo site here:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo
There are pages with more detail on adding hardware/packages to l-m-c. A couple that might be useful are:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/AddingNewHardwareSupport https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/ComponentReleasesWithBzr
If there is a specific HowTo that you feel is missing, let me know and we would be happy add it.

Is the plan to include the "testing" branch for this cycle?

I'd like to have confirmation that it doesn't break OMAP3 first. The OMAP4 support in that branch comes from sources that have expressed in the past that OMAP3 could be broken as a result.

Thanks to Ricardo I have created a packaged version of a merge of the master and testing branches.
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/jcrigby/linux-linaro-packaged-next-wip...
the bare kernel plus some fixes are in the "panda_no_packaging" the "master" branch has normal packaging added.
It currently has no video on omap3.
