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! On behalf of the Linaro 96Boards team, Ricardo Salveti

[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

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?

JTAG @ Dragonboard

by Mateusz Kulikowski

Hi All, Contrary to popular believes, JTAG on Dragonboard seems to be operational. There is one catch - you need dongle worth thousands of USD for now :( I decided to write this post so maybe someone will help me to get it working on something cheaper. Short summary of my research below. @Peter - perhaps you could take a look and give some hints? 1) You need to solder JTAG connector to test points like that: http://rlyeh.eu/d/dragonboard_jtag.jpg (I suggest to protect test points as they're rather fragile and small). There is JTAG connector on the bottom, but I'm against using it because: - There are 4 DNI resistors (i.e. not installed) that have to be short. I don't know their location. - It requires fancy connector that is hard to get, and then you need some converter to standard 20-pin jtag cable. At least you need to solder: TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK, GND, VREF (VREG_L5_1P8) and TRST. I also wired SRST_N to RST pin of standard JTAG connector (but it's probably not needed) WARNING: you need dongle that is able to work/adapt to 1.8V. 2) There are 3 chips on JTAG chain, with software it's possible to disable some or all of them. Commands for OpenOCD: jtag newtap apq dap -expected-id 0x5ba00477 -irlen 4 <- This is ARM jtag newtap auto1 un1 -expected-id 0x000016dd -irlen 5 <- This is something (crypto processor?) jtag newtap auto2 un2 -expected-id 0x007060e1 -irlen 11 <- This is Hexagon core Commands for Trace32: Sum of length of all IR registers : 20. Number of JTAG devices (BYPASS registers) : 3. IDCODE of device 1 is : 0x007060e1 (QUALCOMM, QUALCOMM) SYS.CONFIG.DRPOST 0. SYS.CONFIG.DRPRE 2. SYS.CONFIG.IRPOST 0. SYS.CONFIG.IRPRE 9. (IRWIDTH 11.) IDCODE of device 2 is : 0x000016dd (Certicom Corporation, <unknown name>) SYS.CONFIG.DRPOST 1. SYS.CONFIG.DRPRE 1. SYS.CONFIG.IRPOST 11. SYS.CONFIG.IRPRE 4. (IRWIDTH 5.)

(IRWIDTH 4.) <- This is ARM 3) Device configuration - single core for now: Commands for OpenOCD (they don't work though): target create apq aarch64 -chain-position apq.dap -dbgbase 0x80050000 -ctibase 0x80058000 -coreid 0 Commands for Trace32: SYStem.CPU CORTEXA53 SYStem.CONFIG CORENUMBER 1.

It's even possible to halt it in Secure mode (at least it looks like that). Some parts of memory (and system registers) are not accessible - probably ones that are Secure. - With OpenOCD (branch made by Peter Griffin), JTAG chain is visible properly, but probing of CPU fails: -------------- LOG Debug: 271 328 openocd.c:150 handle_init_command(): Examining targets...
