What would 4.x be based upon then? maint? And if so, what when 5 goes 
into maint mode?

I guess cleaning up is a good thing, I have no clue what all these 
branches were used for  but then.

cheers

Maybe 3.2 patch (or 3.6) will lay on 3.4 kernel? Did you try?

e100* should not even be compiled for rpi, like many others NICs - rpi 
hasn't PCI/PCI-E busses, so it's waste of time and space.

initmod on embedded platforms may be removed at all - all boot-time 
modules may be compiled into kernel. One platform, one chipset, one 
device set.
Or, if initrd concatenation is possible - some modules like usb flash 
may be external, in initmod.

[leaf-devel] git branches

2013-03-31 Thread KP Kirchdoerfer
Hi all;

I just looked into the branches we have:

git branch -r
  origin/buc5-x86_64-toolchain
  origin/maint
  origin/maint-4.0
  origin/maint-4.2
  origin/master
  origin/next
  origin/pu
  origin/rpi
  origin/ybl/modules-OO

Can we delete/remove
 origin/buc5-x86_64-toolchain
 origin/maint-4.0
 origin/maint-4.2
 origin/ybl/modules-OO

as they seem outdated/no longer used?

[leaf-devel] LEAF for raspberry pi

2013-03-31 Thread KP Kirchdoerfer
Hi all;

with the help of David and based on the work of buildtool.org developers
and many others, I was able to create a toolchain that produces a kernel
and lrp's able to boot on a raspberry pi, to login, to get local net
access and to ssh into the remote box.

While it will be a long way to create images for the raspberry pi, it
clearly shows that our toolchain is able to successfully cross-compile -
something I've expected, but it's always good to see it really works.

Before I create a remote repository, so anyone has something to work
with, I'm running rebuild from scratch.

Some notes about what has been accomplshed and the remaining tasks:

It's based on kernel version 3.6.11, because the patches are for 3.2 or
3.6, but not for our currently used 3.4 kernel.
There is ongoing work to include the patches into the mainline kernel,
so life will be easier in the future.

Not all packages build, esp kernel related packages, as expected, but
also others fail, like iptraf, and I do see errors with perl
Digest/SHA1, which also means shorewall will fail to start.
I also had to remove e100* from kmodules to build moddb.

The kernel config needs a review. Esp regarding modules. The kernel
config  as-is compiles ext4 and vfat into the kernel.

It seems that the raspberry is not able to load more than initrd (initrd
and initmod), so we have to concatenate initrd and initmod - with
something like the following command:

cat initrd.gz initmod.gz > initrd-rpi.gz

I had the same pb with qemu while testing arm-versatile. I think we need
to enhance the toolchain to distinguish if a host is capable to load
multiple initrd files, or if we have to create a single one.

I have committed the firmware and raspberry pi special config files to
repo/rpi-firmware, just to put them somewhere.

Anyway, it's a start.
