4.1.x-rt is all I've been using for the last several months. No problems
that I'm aware of.

I'm all for reducing the number of variants out there, but I've never tried an 
-rt build. I assume that's "realtime?" What are its drawbacks compared to the 
non-rt version?

What do folks think about switching to an -rt as the default? It seems -rt
is a major usage for BeagleBone and the builds seem to be working rather
nicely. Thoughts?

HI Robert,

I think you said that TI are pushing everything to mainline so after 4.4/4.5, 
there shouldn’t be that many patches remaining.

John

[beagleboard] 4.4-lts plans (4.1-lts not going away)

2016-01-04 Thread Robert Nelson
Everyone,

We are about a week away from, 4.4.0 lts being released.  (4.4.0-rc8
is still being built for every distro on the farm)..

I just want to ping and remind everyone with my plans.

I'd like to keep "4.1.x" going till the 4.(4+next) lts release...

Goals:

1:
If it worked in "4.1.x-bone" it "should (i need to fix sgx
(5.01.01.02))" work in "4.4.x-bone"  (4.4.x-bone will use uio_pruss as
remoteproc_pruss is still not in mainline)

(please test and report things broken in 4.4.x-bone)

2:
New features/drivers/etc of course will be in "4.4.x-bone"  (i'm not
planning to backport other drivers, instead recommend users upgrade to
4.4.x-bone)

3:
"bb.org-overlays" needs to work with both "4.1.x-bone" & "4.4.x-bone"

https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays

4:
RT: they'll be an "rt" variant of "4.4.x-bone" just like "4.1.x-bone"
but currently there are build issues, so not released..

5:
"update_kernel.sh" grew an "--lts-4_1" and "--lts-4_4" options, for
users who set this script up as a cron job "--lts" still points to
4.1.x but that will change in the next month..

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull
sudo ./update_kernel.sh ${options}

Mainline:

4.1.x-bone:

--bone-channel --lts-4_1

4.1.x-rt-bone:

--bone-rt-channel --lts-4_1

4.4.x-bone:

--bone-channel --lts-4_4

4.4.x-rt-bone: (when actually built..)

--bone-rt-channel --lts-4_4

For "4.1.x-ti" users, 4.4.x-ti will be coming, it'll just lag behind
for a few weeks..

Regards,
