Silently a new 96board starts appearing: Cello It seems to be produced by LeMaker and is based around the AMD A1100 SoC. That's the same as on the illusive Husky, actually both boards look very similar with only minor differences in the placement of some connectors. The LeMaker product page has it up for preorder for 299$; with an estimated shipping time frame of 2016Q2. http://www.lenovator.com/product/103.html This could mean the first "cheap" 64 bit ARM server board becoming available. Also more power: A57 cores. Though I'm sure hrw will still disapprove as it has SATA, but is a weird non-industry-standard form factor. Oh, and the obligatory question: Will it be 96boards compliant and are we going to get to see the actual compliance report? Cheers Thomas

4.4 kernel can't detect sd card on hikey board?

by Liming Wang

hi Leo, My 4.4 kernel can't detect any sd card on hikey board but 3.18 kernel can. I run the kernel from u-boot bootloader. 3.18 kernel log: ---------------- [ 3.370348] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 99200000Hz (slot req 100000000Hz, actual 99200000HZ div = 0) [ 3.370365] mmc1: new ultra high speed SDR50 SDHC card at address aaaa [ 3.371147] mmcblk1: mmc1:aaaa SS08G 7.40 GiB [ 3.372995] mmcblk1: p1 p2 p3 p4 4.4 kernel log: --------------- 4.4 kernel from: git://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux.git hikey-mainline-rebase and config is defconfig. # uname -a Linux linaro-alip 4.4.0+ #2 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 10 21:40:33 CST 2016 aarch64 GNU/Linux # dmesg|grep mmc1 [ 0.247672] dwmmc_k3 f723e000.dwmmc1: fifo-depth property not found, using value of FIFOTH register as default [ 0.247728] dwmmc_k3 f723e000.dwmmc1: IDMAC supports 32-bit address mode.

Developer Reference Platform 16.03 differences compared to Debian

by Riku Voipio

One of the goals of RPB is to follow that our changes go back upstream. For the next RPB release, a more polished report is planned. But to get things started, here's a sample - and to use as baseline to compare progress for the 16.06 release. The list of packages is collected from db410/alip image with distrodelta script[1]. This lists the packages that do not become from Debian (Jessie release) or Debian backports: New packages not in Debian: 96boards-artwork: 0.6-0linaro1 96boards-tools: 0.5 optee-client: 1.0.1+git5+g89f25ce-1.linarojessie.1 glshim: 0.41+git20150911.42a7739-0.linarojessie.1 linaro-artwork: 0.6-0linaro1 linaro-default-settings: 0.3-0linaro1 linaro-overlay: 1112.8 wcnss-config: 1.8 Changed packages: alsa-lib: 1.0.28-1+linaro1.linarojessie.1 * add UCM config file for HDMI and HiFi on DB410c * add UCM config file for HDMI on IFC6410 chromium-browser: 47.0.2526.16-1.6.linarojessie.1 * seccomp and namespace fixes * patches to compile on arm64/armhf firmware-nonfree: 20160110-1.linarojessie.1 * ti-connectivity (updates for HiKey): - Include wl18xx-fw-4 firmware - Add TIInit_11.8.32.bts for bluetooth support isc-dhcp: 4.3.3-8~linaro1 * Reverting requirement for debhelper >= 9.20151220 * Upload to make it work with latest systemd: - https://bugs.96boards.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271 linux: 4.4.0.linaro.104-1.linarojessie.1 * See kernel changes report (TBD) No-changes Backports: apparmor: 2.10-2.linarojessie.1 binutils: 2.25.90.20160101-1.linarojessie.1 gdb: 7.10-1.linarojessie.1 gyp: 0.1+20150913git1f374df9-1.linarojessie.1 java-common: 2:1.8-53.linarojessie.1 nodejs: 4.2.2~dfsg-1.1.linarojessie.1 openssl: 1.0.2d-1.linarojessie.1 systemd: 228-2.4.linarojessie.3 sysvinit: 2.88dsf-59.2.linarojessie.1 util-linux: 2.27.1-1.linarojessie.1 x265: 1.7-4~bpo8+1.linarojessie.1 xorg: 1:7.7+11.linarojessie.1 xorg-server: 2:1.17.3-2.linarojessie.2 xserver-xorg-video-fbdev: 1:0.4.4-1.linarojessie.1 xserver-xorg-video-freedreno: 1.4.0-1.linarojessie.1 [1] https://github.com/suihkulokki/distrodelta with command distrodelta -o Debian 'Debian Backports'

Debian-style package build logs

by Riku Voipio

Hi, Our Debian-style package builds logs for RPB, 96boards and linaro builds are now available on repo.linaro.org. Previously build logs were available in jenkins, but they expired in 30 days from build. Now build logs are located in the same directory as the packages - for example qemu, you would find the logs for qemu builds in http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/q/qemu/ directory. The build logs are also broadcast via the packages mailing list: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/packages/

Failed to boot kernel with u-boot on hikey

by Liming Wang

Hi all, I'm trying to boot kernel with u-boot on a hikey board(lemaker version). I followed the steps of u-boot/board/hisilicon/hikey/README and everything is OK except the kernel hangs at "Starting kernel ..." I used the latest Image and hi6220-hikey.dtb from [1]. And boot log is attached. I don't know whether there is anything block the kernel to boot. Thanks, Liming Wang 1. https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/hikey/linaro/debian/latest/

24-hour stress test

by Chase Qi

Hi Amit, Ricardo and Dev, I have created a shell script[1] to do stress test for 96boards Linux build. The current script supports stress_ng, stress_network and stress_oom. I will investigate how to stress suspend/resume once it is supported. Would you please give the script a review? Any comments will be appreciated. Test log examples attached. The following bugs have been found. Bug 317 - [RPB] stress-ng reboots HiKey board within 10 minutes Bug 318 - [RPB] system hangs after "ip link set wlan0 up" executed Bug 272 - periodic 10-15sec wifi connectivity loss Thanks, Chase [1] https://git.linaro.org/people/chase.qi/24h-stress-test.git/tree

Newbie question: Unable to boot

by Michael Eager

I have an HiKey Early Access Board which I assume is made by CircuitCo. I have connected it to a HDMI display and USB keyboard/mouse. When I plug in a 12v PS, and click on the power button, after a few seconds LED 1 lights and stays on, LED 0 flashes a couple times and goes out. Nothing else happens. I don't get any signal to the display. Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions? -- Michael Eager eager(a)eagercon.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077

What's new? What's old?

by Thomas B. Rücker

Hi, So, LC BKK came and went, and now I'm back, sounding like a broken record: - Compliance report: HiKey (CCo) - Compliance report: HiKey (LeMaker) - Compliance report: Dragonboard410c - Compliance report: Bubblegum - Compliance report: Cello - Compliance report: Husky - Compliance Check-List - Other latest work (cf. mail on this list 2016-02-05T11:11) - Anything of significance at LCBKK? Please. If anyone has /any/ doubt about why I'm asking for all those compliance reports: "Once a compliance report has been approved the vendor may use the 96Boards branding and logo according to published terms and conditions, and the vendor product will be added to the 96Boards website(s)." -- http://www.96boards.org/compliance/#Compliance All boards mentioned above are on the website and their vendors show the "96Boards branding and logo". So with all due respect and excuse my french: Reports or GTFO! Cheers Thomas PS: Someone broke a Wordpress plugin on http://96borads.org

Sensors board bootloader

by Grant Likely

Ugh. The rev-c 96Boards Sensors mezzanine got shipped without a bootloader on the ATMEGA. You'll need to flash the bootloader yourself, or return the board to get it reflashed. (I recommend doing it yourself. It's very simple to do). I'm working with Seeed to get the boards shipped from the Seeed Bazaar reflashed. Here are the instructions. Do this with the Sensors board DISCONNECTED from the baseboard. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP Let me know when you've fixed your board. I'm keeping a list. g.

Reference Platform wiki is moving!

by Robert Wolff

Hello everyone, This is a courtesy email regarding *96Boards wiki* and *documentation*. Over the next week *(04/03/16 - 04/09/16)*, we will be transitioning all *Reference Platform *wiki pages and documents to a new home ( *https://github.com/linaro/documentation* <https://github.com/Linaro/documentation>). A freeze on all 96Boards wiki editing permissions has been put into place to avoid complications during the transition process. This decision was made in an effort to simplify the wiki structure. We believe this change with prevent any confusion around the Reference Software and its many hardware platforms. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Please note:* - This is just for the Reference Platform Project pages - Board Specific documentation will stay on 96Boards wiki all Reference Platform wiki pages will move... >From (Old Location): https://github.com/96boards/documentation <https://github.com/Linaro/documentation> https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Platform-Home To (New Location): https://github.com/linaro/documentation <https://github.com/Linaro/documentation> https://github.com/linaro/documentation/wiki/Reference-Platform-Home ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For questions, please join the #96boards channel on IRC - freenode, or visit us on the forums <http://www.96boards.org/forums/topic/reference-platform-wiki-is-moving/>.
