Yocto Build of Toolchain with package tool rpm doesn't like the "dash" in the Release

This is an attempt to build TI mcsdk 3.0.3.15 with bitbake tisdk-server-rootfs-image It fails trying to make rpms for the linaro toolchain. | DEBUG: Python function write_specfile finished | DEBUG: Executing shell function BUILDSPEC | error: line 4: invalid tag value("^[A-Za-z0-9+._]+$") Release: Release: r2-arago3 | error: Package has no %description: external-linaro-toolchain-2.15.armv7ahf_vfp_neon | Building target platforms: armv7ahf_vfp_neon-oe-linux-gnueabi | DEBUG: Python function do_package_rpm finished | DEBUG: Python function do_package_write_rpm finished | ERROR: Function failed: BUILDSPEC (see /home2/ghannon/keyDSP/build/mcsdk/build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolch ain/work/armv7ahf-vfp-neon-oe-linux-gnueabi/external-linaro-toolchain-20 13.03-r2-arago3/temp/log.do_package_write_rpm.8491 for further information) ERROR: Task 40 (/home2/ghannon/keyDSP/build/mcsdk/sources/meta-linaro/recipes-devtools/ external-linaro-toolchain/external-linaro-toolchain.bb, do_package_write_rpm) failed with exit code '1' If I change Release: r2-arago3 to not have a - in the spec file then I can build the rpms manually with the same command.

kernel support for cortex A8 hardware watchpoints

by Marc Kleine-Budde

Hello Ulrich, I'm on a freescale mx53 (single core, cortex a8) and trying to find a nasty problem in our $CUSTOMER's application. Working hardware watch point support in gdb should solve the problem, or at least brings us a big step forward. I stumbled over your about three years old thread[1] about the cortex a8 memory mapped debug registers problem. Do I understand correctly, that you had a8 watch point running on at least one board? Have you got any code and or pointers to get watch point support running? regards, Marc Kleine-Budde [1] http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-toolchain/2011-February/000820.html -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Industrial Linux Solutions | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | http://www.pengutronix.de |

Linaro GNU Compiler (GCC) toolchain : for Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) + FreeRTOS (Demo Project)

by Steffen Sprung

*Hi LINARO-TEAM,* I would like start a software development on a “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) MPU (R7S721010xxx” by using Eclipse IDE (Kepler - 4.3.1). > Global objective = Use free SW development tools I have read, that the “Linaro GCC Toolchain Release Supports Full Range of ARM Cortex-A Processors” and it’s an open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain. > Well – I think that is what I need. So, I have installed the Linaro Toolchain (gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-win32.exe) and test the compilation of the “*Hello World ARM C Project*” for the Target Processor “cortex-A9” > So, the compilation is OK. *NOW, I would like prepare a small TEST-Project with FreeRTOS.* FreeRTOSV8.0.0_Release_Candidate_2 > I have found the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo”: http://www.freertos.org/Renesas_RZ_Cortex-A9-RTOS.html But the two projects are provided to be built with the* IAR Embedded Workbench <http://www.iar.com/ewarm>* or the *ARM DS-5 <http://arm.com/products/tools/software-tools/ds-5/index.php> embedded development tools*. > I have seen that the DS-5 Development Studio is not for free but it use also the Linaro GNU Compiler (GCC) toolchain. So, I have tried to import the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo” project to Eclipse, *but the import doesn’t work – and I’m not sure that the project uses the Linaro GNU GCC Compiler**.* > I think that Demo project for DS-5 use also special plugins/configuration settings from the Development Studio – so this can’t work ?!… *HELP:* *I’m new in the “Eclipse IDE / Compiler (GCC) toolchain” WORLD … * So, can you help me to give me a good direction - *what I need to do *to make running this small “Blinky-Demo for Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) with the FreeRTOS” by using the Linaro GCC Toolchain. > Or have you another small Demo project for the Linaro GCC Toolchain which uses the FreeRTOS for the Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) family? … Or you think that is not easily possible to do that for a Newcomer like me? I hope that you can help me to put me on the right road.

* Libsanitizer for AArch64: (4/10) - seems to be mostly working, but trouble with validation both using the Foundation Model and qemu-aarch64. - Some tests seems to loop forever while unwinding under qemu, but run fine under the Foundation model - Conversely the Foundation Model shows some random errors, and the corresponding tests pass under qemu - Some random timeouts with the Foundation Model, despite using ssh multiplexing - Added a small patch to qemu to hande missing mmap flag. Need to send upstream. - asked Rob to run GCC testsuite with my patch on AArch64 but it's too unstable these days * Cross-validation (2/10) - script now able to validate a GCC patch and compare results with unmodified GCC trunk - added arm-none-eabi target - using qemu-aarch64 for aarch64-none-linux-gnueabi but the validations now time out. Need investigation, but I might have to revert to no execution for this target. - identified a problem with the recent armv7-ve patch * Benchmarks: (1/10) - collecting data for 4.8 tables * Peeling: (1/10) - backported new vectorizer cost model to check it if's OK to include it in our next release * Misc (2/10): conf-calls, meetings, docs (howtos for TCWG) == Next == * libsanitizer on AArch64 * fix cross-validation on aarch64-none-linux-gnu * benchmarks: complete table * backports: chek new vectorizer cost model, monthly branch merge, review Michael's backports of Crypto intrinsics

== Progress == * Investigate "PGO" for Aarch64 (3/10). Bootstap testing aarch64 with PGO for GCC.Stage 2, feedback profile in progress. Tested a small test case for -fbranch-probabilities, works same as x86_64. Working on checking the "gcda" files generated and profile runs for coremark. * Cbuild2 discussed with rob, ryan on using cbuild2 for developement. (3/10) Thanks Rob for fixing some issues and adding features that I requested. Tested some features added. Captured it as FAQ. * Reinstalled ubuntu OS on my laptop (2/10) Misc (2/10) ------------- AMD internal meetings and did some investigations == Plan == - Continue run EMBCC and coremark benchmarks with -PGO enabled. - Going on marriage vacation from 07-Feb till 06 March == Issues=== Follow up upstream libssp GCC discussions. No response yet after 2 pings :(
