RAG: Red: Amber: Green: Current Milestones: | Planned | Estimate | Actual | qemu-linaro 2011-04 | 2011-04-21 | 2011-04-21 | | Historical Milestones: finish qemu-cont-integration | 2011-01-25 | 2011-01-25 | handed off | first qemu-linaro release | 2011-02-08 | 2011-02-08 | 2011-02-08 | qemu-linaro 2011-03 | 2011-03-08 | 2011-03-08 | 2011-03-08 | == maintain-beagle-models == * I spent a couple of days on initial cleanup of the omap3 patchstack in qemu-linaro. It's still some way from being upstreamable but at least now every patch in the stack compiles; this should make rebasing on upstream a bit less painful. * the board-ram-limits patchset is still stalled with upstream :-( == merge-correctness-fixes == * Aurelien applied lots of patches so the pipeline has drained again * cleaning up/reworking patches which fix handling of Neon UNDEF cases. Not very exciting but it will get a large set of patches out of the qemu-linaro patchstack. == other == * meetings: toolchain, standup Current qemu patch status is tracked here: https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterMaydell/QemuPatchStatus Absences: Holiday: 22 Apr - 2 May 9-13 May: UDS, Budapest (maybe) 15-16 August: QEMU/KVM strand at LinuxCon NA, Vancouver [LinuxCon proper follows on 17-19th]

New porter boxes

by Michael Hope

Hi there. The new porter boxes are now available for use. See: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/Hardware for details. These are PandaBoards with 768 MB of memory, a USB HDD, and a good internet connection. They can be used for day to day jobs like building programs, triaging bugs, and running benchmarks. Use dchroot natty to switch into the chroot. Use sudo apt-get install yyy to install packages. The build dependences for GCC, GDB, and binutils should already be installed. -- Michael

Re: Linaro 4.5.2 v. CodeSourcery 4.5.1

In general, you'd be better addressing these questions on the Linaro Toolchain mailing list: linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org (I've copied it in). Not least because I'm on vacation for the next week. :) > Unfortunately, the Linaro > 4.5.2 that's available for download (already built) won't work in my > Scratchbox environment, since it was compiled against a glibc that's too > new. The CS 4.5.1 works fine -- but I'm not allowed to use it, because > of the neon stuff. The CS and Linaro compilers are really very similar, but CodeSourcery has not made a release since the autumn, so Linaro will have some extra features. > Do you know whether CS actually does have (or will have) the same neon > optimizations Linaro has? It depends which optimizations you are referring to? The existing CS release had the latest improvements at the time it was released, and I believe that the upcoming release will probably be very similar to Linaro (at least, with respect to ARMv7 - there'll be many differences for other architecture variants), but I'm not promising that. Sorry if that's a bit vague, but I the contents of the next CS release is still not finalised. > If it doesn't (and won't), then I'm going to have to build the Linaro > one from source.

Are you talking about building native compiler, or a cross-compiler? The former is very simple (provided you have all the dependencies), while the latter is more involved. Here's the recipe to build a native compiler: tar xf gcc-linaro.....tar.bz2 mkdir objdir cd objdir ../gcc-linaro....../configure --prefix=<your-install-path> <opts> make bootstrap make install You can copy the configure <opts> from another compiler using 'gcc -v' and './configure --help' in the source tree should tell you what they mean. If you want to build a cross compiler, I suggest you look at crosstool or crosstool-ng, or OpenEmbedded. Building cross-toolchains is non-trivial. Hope that helps. Andrew

CoreMark over releases

by Michael Hope

Here's some pretty pictures of the relative CoreMark performance on a Cortex-A9. Note that in accordance with the CoreMark rules, all results are estimates. Linaro GCC 4.5 and mainline GCC vs 4.5.2: http://people.linaro.org/~michaelh/incoming/all-o3-vs-gcc-4.5.2.png Linaro GCC 4.5 releases vs our first: http://people.linaro.org/~michaelh/incoming/releases-o3-vs-gcc-linaro-4.5-2… Linaro GCC 4.5 builds between 2010.08 and 2010.10: http://people.linaro.org/~michaelh/incoming/releases-o3-vs-gcc-linaro-4.5-2… The 2.5 % drop in performance for 2010.09 is probably due to r99379. The further 2 % drop in 2010.10 is due to re-syncing with mainline 4.5.2. Performance has been moving solidly upwards but it has to start from the -4.5 % from these two updates. Chung Lin's unsigned extension changes should be interesting... -- Michael
