When will PSP 04.00.00.10 be available in Arago git?

Hi,

I see the PSP 04.00.00.10 tag in the "people" git trees but not in Arago.

Also, last time I tried to build "console-image" or "arago-console-image" for MACHINE=c6a816x-evm from Arago trunk it wouldn't build ... I think it was something to do with ncurses.

Regards,

Brian

 

  • ... update on the Arago problem I mentioned.  I just did a git pull to update but ncurses recipe still kills the lastest build:

    Build Configuration:
    BB_VERSION        = "1.10.2"
    METADATA_BRANCH   = "master"
    METADATA_REVISION = "822835b"
    TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
    TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
    MACHINE           = "c6a816x-evm"
    DISTRO            = "angstrom"
    DISTRO_VERSION    = "2011.02"
    TARGET_FPU        = "hard"

    bitbake arago-console-image

  • Nice!  Move my post instead of answer it :)

    OK, maybe I need to be more specific.  The first PSP that came with our EVM was supplied with .tgz files of the kernel, u-boot and root filesystem.  All great except I'm wanting to modify the recipes used to generate the root filesystem so I can customize it.

    A month or two ago I checked out the latest (at that time) Arago git master and bitbaked the console-image for the c6A816x-evm.  At that time it looks like it built kernel (u-boot was not the same as the one that came with the evm by the way) from PSP.04.00.00.09.  I have been successfully using that kernel and root filesystem.

    Basically I'm trying to understand the nature of the Arago git trees and how I should be using them ... more specifically how to checkout certain PSP releases or should I even be trying to check out specific releases???

    For example, I've been looking for and wanting PSP.04.00.00.10 for the C6A816x.

    In the main arago.git tree, I see release tags such as:
    DaVinci PSP release 03.01.01.38
    http://arago-project.org/git/?p=arago.git;a=commit;h=f5483e40af9f432b900d848f0414f8e5de39babe

    But no tags for the C6A816x that I can use to checkout against.

    So what is the accepted protocol for regenerating the PSP for the C6A816x?  Check out master, set MACHINE=c6a816x-evm and then start bitbaking?  I'd like to be able to checkout the files used to make the PSP instead of pulling from master which is a moving target.

    Please educate me if I'm talking all crazy and going into the weeds.

    Regards,

    Brian

  • Hutchman,

    Please refer to following tree to get a development snapshot of Cortex A8 based PSP in Arago

    http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=linux-omap3.git;a=summary

    Please refer to tags with "TI816X" as this is a generic name used for C6A816x/AM389x devices.

    Once the tag is applied to tree, it represents a PSP release package. (System test completed package). If there is no tag/tip of the tree represents the development snapshot. You can use the tip if you are looking for new features/bug fixes but this has not gone thru' system test and needs to be treated as a developer snapshot and to be taken as-is....

    Also the commit ID you have refered is for ARM9 devices and you need to refer to Cortex A8 tree for C6A816x support...

  • Hi Brian,

    The PSP release 4.00.00.10 has been posted directly to Openembedded and you should be able to build it from Arago. You should find the recipe in arago-oe-dev/recipes/linux. I'll check with others on why bitbake is picking up 4.00.00.09 instead of 4.00.00.10.

    We are trying to push most externally available software to openembedded and are working to ensure that it also present in the maintenance-2011.03 branch.

  • Hi Brian,

    I did the following on my arago setup

    $ MACHINE=c6a816x-evm bitbake -s | tee versions.txt

    I see the version of linux-omap3 (which is the recipe name for PSP) as 2.6.37-psp04.00.00.10-r4. The reason you could be missing the PSP is probably due to an older arago-oe-dev. Please git pull --rebase arago, arago-bitbake and arago-oe-dev to ensure that you have the latest versions.
