HI.
I'm building a LAVA service for running fast models. Quite soon (*)
we'll be ready to open an alpha access. Right now you will need to
bring your own root filesystem and kernel image to use it. With that
in mind I wanted to start a discussion about the state of A15 support
in Linaro kernel(s). I need to understand two things:
1) Are we ready to do automatic builds for A15 kernels?
2) If so, which configs and trees should we consider
The basic A15 CPU support is upstream, but no board support.
The board support emulation on the model is for obscure reasons not
exactly the same as a real VExpress, but it's pretty close.
With Pawel Moll's VExpress device tree support patches on top of
mainline, we can produce a single kernel config and a set of device
trees which allow booting on all the A15-based model variants.
I'll be pushing a tree onto git.linaro.org soon with that stuff.
Why don't you push the changes to the ARM LT and let them manage pushing
the tree out. Then we can maintain it and take the burden off of you.
I suspect you will be rather busy.
