Re: [beagleboard] Different Linux images

2015-02-26 Thread Brian Anderson


 As a secondary, we got a lot of bugs fixed from ti on am335x, that 
 were issues in 3.8 for some users. 

 pm/usb/ethernet/etc..   


 Right now there's three variants: 

 The first two have been around for awhile: 

 linux-image-3.14.33-ti-r51 


How does the 3.14.33-ti series kernels compare to 3.19.0-bone3?  Have the 
TI patches in 3.14.33 been upstreamed into later kernels such as 3.19.0?

I have been running on the 3.19.0 series for awhile (Debian Jessie rootfs 
from November and late January).  When I tried the 3.14.xx-ti series back 
in the January time frame the kernel was hanging periodically under heavy 
I/O load (like doing an rsync of the rootfs to a remove host).  I was also 
having issues with the kernel hanging when doing performance testing using 
iperf3 between 2 BBB's on a wireless network (the iperf server host 
would hiccup periodically).  The 3.19.0 series has proved to be more 
stable.  (I have been working with an 802.11s mesh setup using TP-Link 
WN722N in case anyone is interested.)

Should I be going back to the 3.14.33-ti series?  I know don't fix it if 
it ain't broke, but just wondering about the details of 3.14.33-ti versus 
later kernels.

Great work Robert!  Hope to see you at ELC next month.

 What are the differentes between each kernel image ?What do the different
 suffixes (lpae, x0, x3, bone2, bone3) stands for ?

armv7-lpae-x:

lpae = 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#Large_Physical_Address_Extension

It was added with the Cortex-A15, The Cortex-A7,A12,A15,A17 all have it..

Devices which don't have it, Cortex-A5,A8,A9 will NOT boot with it enabled..

Right now, this only supports the omap5_uevm, BeagleBoard-X15...

armv7-x:
general image that'll work with most boards...

bone:
tweaked config for the BeagleBone family (am335x), which enable a few
things we can't enable on the general image due to errata on the older
Cortex-A8 used on the BeagleBoard/Beagleboard-xM.. (Which allow us to
get a little more performance out of the am335x)
