Just for anyone interested, I've been releasing experimental disk images of CoreOS [1] for the HiKey ARM64 developer board. These images currently have about 90% of the packages in the CoreOS developer build. See the README at https://github.com/glevand/hikey-coreos. [1] https://coreos.com/ -Geoff

[ANN] HiKey mainline kernel based branch now available

by Guodong Xu

hello there, A new kernel branch for the HiKey is now available: hikey-mainline-rebase, which is now v4.4-rc3 based. That's a start (meaning there are issues), but topics and patches are keep coming. Goal here is to make HiKey finally land linus' tree. What’s new in this release? * Based on Linux kernel v4.4-rc3 * Debian Jessie developer image, with HDMI console. * patches are upstreaming targeted, and * managed by topic branches, for easy rebase to latest kernel * topics include: hikey-tracking-dts hikey-tracking-gpio hikey-tracking-pmic hikey-tracking-mmc hikey-tracking-wifi hikey-tracking-usb hikey-tracking-adv7511 hikey-tracking-drm hikey-tracking-pm What to expect in soon future? * topic on iommu, bt * new builds: Debian Jessie ALIP image * new builds: AOSP (Android M) * patches be accepted by mainline.

kasan on db410c

by Pingbo Wen

Hi, Does anyone run KASan on db410c successfully? I merged arm64-upstream branch over integration-linux-qcomlt, and enable KASan feature, compiled with gcc 5.1. But the kernel hanged before start_kernel(), no log output. Please tell me if I miss something here. Pingbo

Change kmalloc to vmalloc when loading firmware

by chenfeng

Hi, When memory is seriously fragmented.I can be failed while using kmalloc in loading firmware. Can we change it to vmalloc? Are there someone familiar with this module? No need to use use continuous memory, it may be fail when memory deeply fragmented.

Reference Software Platform 15.12 Release!

by Ricardo Salveti

We are happy to announce the 15.12 release for the reference software platform project! This is our second release and for the first time also including support for the Enterprise Edition. Since there is still no availability for the 96Boards HuskyBoard, the first EE RPB was produced using the current enterprise development boards that are available in Linaro, such as HiSilicon D02 and AMD Overdrive (same SoC from HuskyBoard, known as Seattle). Once HuskBoard is available, the work for making it supported by the EE RPB should be minimal. A lot of work was put in place for the EE RPB, covering firmware (UEFI/EDK2), Linux 4.4 (with ACPI), Debian Jessie/CentOS 7 network installers, OpenStack Liberty, Hadoop, Spark and a few others, consolidating the work from several other Linaro groups and teams as well as from community and members. For the Consumer Edition the CE AOSP RPB for Hikey is now using a 4.1 based kernel, closer to what is provided directly by AOSP. We decided to not push major updates and rebases for the CE Debian RPB kernel since we want the changes to follow the same kernel policy as used by the EE kernel (https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/RP-Kernel-Policy). The goal of having one single tree for both CE and EE, with a strict upstream-based policy, will continue, and we hope to have more news on that in the upcoming weeks. The work for the CE OE/Yocto RPB was also started, but unfortunately not yet covering single 96boards machine (due lack of a common kernel). Please check https://github.com/96boards/meta-rpb and https://github.com/96boards/oe-rpb-manifest to see what is already done for OpenEmbedded. Highlights for this release: Enterprise Edition: - UEFI/EDK2 support for D02, provided by OpenPlatformPkg - 4.4-rc4 based kernel, including support for D02 and Overdrive - ACPI support for D02 and Overdrive (mandatory for the enterprise edition) - Debian 8.2 "Jessie" network installer (using the 4.4-rc4 based kernel). CentOS 7 network installer available in alpha state. - Components: * Docker 1.9.1 * OpenStack Liberty * ODPi BigTop (Hadoop, Spark, etc) * OpenJDK 8 Consumer Edition: CE Debian RPB for DragonBoard410 and HiKey (including support for the LeMaker version): - Debian 8.2 “Jessie” - 4.3 kernel (with additional patches) - OpenJDK 8 included by default - 96Boards artwork and default settings CE AOSP RPB for HiKey (including support for the LeMaker version): - AOSP Android Marshmallow 6.0 - 4.1 based kernel Install instructions, known issues, test reports and instructions to build from source are all published at https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/RP-Release-2015.12. Please also check https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/ReferenceSoftwareEE for documentation covering the components released as part of the EE RPB. For general questions or support requests, please go to the 96boards.org Community forum (https://www.96boards.org/forums/). For development questions and topics, please use the 96Boards.org development mailing-list (dev(a)lists.96boards.org). For bugs related to the 96Boards platforms, please use the 96Boards bug tracking system (https://bugs.96boards.org/). For bugs related to the reference software platform release, but on development boards that are not officially part of 96Boards, please use https://bugs.linaro.org instead (e.g. AMD Overdrive and HiSilicon D02). For IRC support, please go to the #96boards channel at Freenode. Challenges for the next release (15.03): - Add support for HiKey and Dragonboard410c at our common 96Boards kernel tree (by following https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/RP-Kernel-Policy) - Extended support for CE OE/Yocto - Support for CE AOSP for Dragonboard410c (with freedreno) - Compliance process and check-list We hope you enjoy the release!

[Questions]compressed kernel image in arm64

by chenfeng

Hi all, I found that the arm64 kernel doesn't support for compressed kernel image. In this way, the bootimage with android may be much bigger than compressed version. Who can tell the reason of this? I will be appreciated it! Feng,

[RFC][PATCH] linaro-edk2: Enable "adb reboot bootloader" support

by John Stultz

This allows the bootloader to user a reserved page to read if the kernel requested we boot into fastboot mode or normal bootup. This allows users to reboot into fastboot mode w/o having to modify jumpers on J15 This change requires the kernel to support the communication of the reboot reason to the bootloader. I'm really not sure the method I'm using here is right (ie: setting a pointer to a physaddr and reading/writing to it). So any extra feedback or review would be appreciated!

[PATCH 1/2] firmware: Introduce reboot_reason driver

by John Stultz

This patch adds a basic driver to allow for commands like "reboot bootloader" and "reboot recovery" to communicate this reboot-reason to the bootloader. This is commonly done on Android devices, in order to reboot the device into fastboot or recovery mode. It also supports custom OEM specific commands, via "reboot oem-<value>". This driver pulls the phys memory address from DT as well as the magic reason values that are written to the address for each mode.

Board recovery fail: stuck in TEE-CORE init

by Kevin Hilman

Trying to update firmware on a hikey that was previously running u-boot just fine, I followed the "Board Recovery" section of the Getting Started page[1], but end up with the init sequence getting stuck in TEE-CORE init (console log below[2]) Any ideas what's going wrong? I'm trying to update the firmware so I get serial output on the UART board. I'm currently only using the UART pins on the main board.
