[opensuse-arm] iMX51 - Update config for 3.4-rc2 + enable Multimedia support
by Guillaume Gardet 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Please find in attachment a patch for the iMX51 config. I took the config from kernel-source/config/armv7l/imx51 and I added Multimedia support via menuconfig. It compiles (uImage + modules) but I haven't tested it since I have no iMX51 board. Regards, Guillaume

[opensuse-arm] DSP on OMAP3
by Guillaume Gardet 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, I can get the DSP working on OMAP3 (BB xM) with the latest beagle raw image (10.7). Install needed packages and load needed drivers: zypper in dsp-tools tidsp-binaries modprobe mailbox_mach modprobe bridgedriver base_img=/lib/dsp/baseimage.dof Then you can try some dsp tools: dsp-probe which returns: *** device: /codec device: /mixer device: /acdn device: /eteedn device: /mmmdn task: DASFTASK_TI task: SYNCCLOCK_TI task: dummy *** dsp-test which returns: *** copied 1000 times successfully *** I have not tested gstreamer DSP plugin yet but I will keep you up-to-date once done! I have 1 question related to module loading. Why mailbox_mach and bridgedriver are not loaded on boot? Do we need some udev rules?

Acording to: osc rbl X11:Enlightenment:Nightly lua51 openSUSE_Factory_ARM armv7l RPM lit reports: ******************************************************************************** lua51-libs.armv7l: W: shlib-with-non-pic-code /usr/lib/liblua-5.1.so The listed shared libraries contain object code that was compiled without -fPIC. All object code in shared libraries should be recompiled separately from the static libraries with the -fPIC option. Another common mistake that causes this problem is linking with ``gcc -Wl,-shared'' instead of ``gcc -shared''. ******************************************************************************** So something get wrong. maybe try to do CFLAGS+=-fPIC instead of CFLAGS=-fPIC or use MYCFLAGS. Have a look at the following links for used option and maybe patches for lua: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=lua.spec&package=lua&proj… http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/package/lua Regards, Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] ARM TechCon
by Andrew Wafaa 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

ARM TechCon is where 3,500 system and software engineers dedicated to designing ARM IP-based designs gather, and is one of the most influential ARM related conferences. ARM would like it if openSUSE and SUSE could attend, preferably with a talk or two ;-) They are now accepting abstracts for ARM® TechCon™. This year's event will be held October 30 - November 1, 2012 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. Deadline to Submit: Friday, April 27, 2012 ARM TechCon will again have dedicated themes for each day of the event providing a comprehensive curriculum. The 2012 tracks are listed below with a separate submission for Day 1 and Days 2 & 3. Chip Design Day[0] October 30, 2012 *SoC Architecture & Analysis * SoC Design & Verification * SoC Design for Power & Performance * SoC IP Submit Your Abstract[1] Software & Systems Design Days[2] October 31 - November 1, 2012 * Android / Open Source * Computing Platforms * Developing & Debugging * Low Power Design * Microcontroller and Programmable Platforms * Multimedia Processing: Graphics, Audio & Video * Networking & Connectivity * Safety & Security * Software Optimization on ARM-Powered Systems * The Fundamentals of ARM Submit Your Abstract[3] There is a possibility that we can get some sponsorship from the openSUSE travel committee, but I make no guarantees. There is only one item that could be an issue with openSUSE or even SUSE attending the event, SUSE will need to ensure it has enrolled into ARM Connect befor we can attend. ARM will be speaking directly to SUSE about this shortly, so it shouldn't be any real issue. Please let me know if you would be happy to attend and as such present too. There's no free ticket here - if you want to mingle you need to earn it :-) Regards, Andy 0 - http://newsletters.eetimes.com/portal/wts/cemciv2dnP-6ed7eqq6D-D6f4z4cfc 1 - http://newsletters.eetimes.com/portal/wts/cemciv2dnP-6ed7eqq6D-D-f4z4cfc 2 - http://newsletters.eetimes.com/portal/wts/cemciv2dnP-6ed7eqq6D-DDf4z4cfc 3 - http://newsletters.eetimes.com/portal/wts/cemciv2dnP-6ed7eqq6D-Eef4z4cfc -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Fix ARM kernel-default and kernel-u8500
by Guillaume Gardet 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hi, kernel-default and kernel-u8500 fail to build because eGalax touchscreen is enabled and use the function irq_to_gpio which is not available for default and u8500 kernels. Attached patches solve the problem by disabling the eGalax support for both kernels. Can anyone modify the default and u8500 config files accordingly, please? Guillaume

[opensuse-arm] armv5 progress
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I made progress on the arm5 side of things (to get openSUSE to run on my two openRDs) disassembling some of the non-working programs had shown earlier that there were floating point instructions while Debian's gcc produced function calls in those places. I tried to compile the kernel with floating-point emulation without effect. Reading http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort I found mention of the __SOFTFP__ macro and that paradoxically it is not set by -mfloat-abi=softfp checking with :| gcc -dM -E -x c -|grep SOFT I found that this is set on Debian, but not on openSUSE. our gcc46.spec had in the armv5 section - --with-float=softfp which I changed to =soft for a local build (OBS does not let me branch a broken package). And it made gcc work finally for armv5 - yay! so please apply this patch: - --- gcc46.spec (revision b6148fab8499be9d98ff39bdabb170ec) +++ gcc46.spec (working copy) @@ -1697,7 +1719,7 @@ %endif %if "%{TARGET_ARCH}" == "armv5tel" --with-arch=armv5te \ - - --with-float=softfp \ + --with-float=soft \ --with-mode=arm \ --with-abi=aapcs-linux \ --disable-sjlj-exceptions \ When I tried to build locally on ARM, I also hit another strange bug, that I only saw on Factory ARM: # (cd /tmp/ ; sudo id ; echo $?) 143 - -- _=======.=======_ _---|____________\/ (____/ /\ _/ \_ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9ld/wACgkQSTYLOx37oWR+VACgl9PFYgyWYELnN67f5C8OJEZT pJMAoPvf+YIvA6DOgRLmRAU6cYziVR17 =dE2T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I'm going to buy a mini2440 board http://www.friendlyarm.net/products/mini2440 Can somebody tell me if I should try with openSUSE-arm, or is it very intensive work atm? I'm new to embedded and arm, so please forgive my unholy question. It's just I'm a fan of openSUSE, and would like to use it on the mini2440 too. Please answer me directly, I'm not subscribed on this list yet. -- mit freundlichen Grüssen, Michael Monnerie, Ing.

[opensuse-arm] Kernel omap2plus config - Add TI dsp bridge driver
by Guillaume Gardet 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi, would it be possible to enable the TI dspbridge (staging) driver in the omap2plus kernel config, please ? As a module, not as built-in. The var is CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE. It will enable the use of the integrated DSP in the Texas Instrument SoC. At least the kernel part. Then we could try to package the userspace part.
