Not too surprising I guess. Included in each record is a Record Number that indexes into the report directory. Each directory is marked with an index and under that directory is the graph associated with the data for example: https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/file/d/0B3pUtxWjZbP9VnVQS3M4WWx1OVk/edit In addition, controlling the instrument is super easy. You connect to the box over TCP/IP the you can send 5 single character commands in any order: 1,0,s,e,r 1 turns the power on 0 turns it off s starts a measurement e ends a measurement r records r is destructive, so if you send an r it erase the previous data record. The data record does survive instrument restarts (as opposed to having an implicit r at the start of the measurement. I'm not sure I entirely understand. What's the difference between r and s, aside from the fact that r erases previous data? r clears the previous run's data and gets the files ready for the next runs. s just starts the measurement, its a software trigger, e ends the measurement you can say s and e multiple times. Each time an entry gets made into the readings.txt file and a graph capture gets made. Is there any reason to power the device down between tests in the usual course of things? Not sure, but it may prove a useful thing to do. We have been power cycling between lava tests to improve reproducibility so i suspect power tests may need the same feature. At any point the existing data set can simply be uploaded. This is just putting things into my language rather than yours I guess, but is it correct to stay that your VI puts the output in a known location, so other processes on the box can access it? Actually, the idea is for LAVA to upload the data set via FTP. I'm also going to add a z command which will zip up the data set. They'll be FTP running on the box (or whatever we need) and LAVA will just transfer the files and save them with the test run. I'm imagining something like the following course of events during a test run (please forgive a certain amount of hand-waving): * The LAVA host sends '1' if necessary to the VI and then 'r' * for each test case: * The target sends 's' to the VI * The target runs the test case * The target send 'e' to the VI * The LAVA host grabs the results from the VI and matches the power data against the test results * The host (maybe?) sends '0' to the VI. * The results are uploaded to the dashboard and displayed in some useful way Yeah, that's basically it. One minor point. This instrument produces a lot of data, instead of moving all this data around, the instrument can be configured to do all the measurement, making the analyzed data set easier to understand and faster to upload. Yeah, I think that we'd like to just upload something like the readings.txt file for now? Or possibly something even more derived than that to start with... just the average power draw over a period would be a good start! Take a look at the readings.txt the figure of merit is the RMS Current. That's what you should display. Voltage is more or less constant, though I also present the RMS voltage. But you'll want to actually show all the numbers in there. Comments and questions welcome.

Open a TCP/IP connection to the box. 2. Send 's' to start the measurement. 3. Send 'e' to end the measurement. 4. Send 'r' followed by a read. The read will return the total current of the last measurement. 5. Send 't' followed by a two reads. The first will return the number of records (timestamp and value) the second read will return the records (thanks Andy Doan for communicating TI's want of this). ...or something like that. Its very easy to reconfigure the VI into a variety of modes, so its completely feasible for people to write there own and run them as well. You can even do remote development (though having a remotable reset of the whole system will be cruicial).

Open a TCP/IP connection to the box. 2. Send 's' to start the measurement. 3. Send 'e' to end the measurement. 4. Send 'r' followed by a read. The read will return the total current of the last measurement. 5. Send 't' followed by a two reads. The first will return the number of records (timestamp and value) the second read will return the records (thanks Andy Doan for communicating TI's want of this). ...or something like that. Its very easy to reconfigure the VI into a variety of modes, so its completely feasible for people to write there own and run them as well. You can even do remote development (though having a remotable reset of the whole system will be cruicial).

Fwd: Contributions and conflict-prone areas
FYI -- Forwarded message -- From: Jean-Baptiste Queru j...@android.com Date: 28 August 2012 15:59 Subject: Contributions and conflict-prone areas To: android-cont...@googlegroups.com I've been looking at many Android contributions recently, which gives be some good visibility over the difficulties in merging changes all the way upstream into Google's internal tree. Generally speaking, at the moment the gap between AOSP and Google's internal master tree is unusually small, and that allows a very large majority of contributions to merge without conflicts. By looking at many changes, I spotted 3 areas where merges don't go smoothly. Those areas are Bluetooth, Email, and Location, and most changes related to those cause merge problems. Digging a bit, those look like they've been refactored quite heavily in Google's internal tree, which causes the conflicts. For anyone considering to contribute in any of those 3 areas. I recommend waiting until the next major release (and I don't have any ETA for it). From what I've seen, merges are uneventful in all other areas of the Android tree. Thanks, JBQ -- Jean-Baptiste M.

The aim of this tree is to help consolidate the various topic patchsets that improve the behaviour of Linux on asymmetric cores (e.g. big.LITTLE) and make smarter scheduling decisions possible in order to save power. I'd like to think of it as a linux-next tree focused on asymmetric support enablement. Viresh will recreate this tree when new versions of the topic patchsets are available. IOW, as the patches are reviewed on the lists and go through iterations, we'll pull each topic patchset into a topic branch (e.g. per-task-load-average-v2, arm-asymmetric-support-v3). Then a merge tree will be created (e.g. big-LITTLE-MP-v1) as needed based on the latest versions of these topics. This should allow users to track individual topics or leave out some topics if they so desire. More topics will be added to this tree as the work becomes available. Linaro platform team will take the merge branch (big-LITTLE-MP-v1, -v2, etc.) and use it for platform enablement work and testing on real hardware and models. Problems should be reported on LKML/LAKML as usual if they are related to the individual topic trees. If they're related to a bad merge or config enablement please report on linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org. Regards, Amit p.s.

The master branch (and other active development branches) use a frozen snapshot of those projects, on top of which we can't accept contributions. -Existing contributions to those projects (i.e. that have been uploaded) need no further action. -If you have a master client, you can switch to master-dalvik with repo init -b master-dalvik ; repo sync. -Technically, you can use master-dalvik to contribute to any project, but that's not recommended. Unless you're explicitly contributing to dalvik or libcore, please use the plain master branch to prepare your contributions. -Note that, since the master branch uses a frozen snapshot, changes contributed to the dalvik and libcore projects in master-dalvik don't get reflected in master. -This does not affect tagged releases, those will continue to be managed as usual.

Thank you Chengjie
Hey all, Today is Chengjie's last day as a Linaro assignee. I'd like to thank him for his great work on the Linaro Android team over the last 6 months. He has had a big hand in supporting Origen and improving test automation. Chengjie is still keen on helping Linaro. He will transition to a community member, where he'll be able to help out (without being required to file status :). Its been great to have you on the team Chengjie, thanks! -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

Closing out the iMX Android platform....for now
Hey team, We've been asked by Alexander and Joe to focus on other targets for awhile. This means that the iMX53 and iMX6 work that we've done will stay in its current state. Practically this means: 1. No updates to iMX based manifest (we'll delete the MX manifests from linaro_android_4.0.4 to make this clean) 2. No bug fixes 3. No daily builds The builds we currently have will stick around. Anyhow, this will allow us to refocus on less, which is good. I'd really like to thank Bero, who's awesome work on the MX allowed this board to run in the first place and who's work keeping it going has be extremely valuable to Linaro.

Re: New Gator version ready for Linaro kernels
Thanks for the heads up Tixy. Adding Amit, Anmar and Usman. On 16 May 2012 10:58, Jon Medhurst (Tixy) t...@linaro.org wrote: Hello All ARM have released a new version of Developer Studio 5 (DS-5) and we now have a new version of the Gator component [1] to go with this which needs updating in all Linaro kernel trees that will be part of the 12.05 release. For those people maintaining kernel trees here is what this means... - If your kernels are including the linux-linaro-core-tracking [2] branch then you will get the new Gator version from this when it is updated over the next couple of days. You don't need to do anything except to make sure you are up to date with this branch before the 12.05 release. - For Ubuntu kernels not including linux-linaro-core-tracking (and not being released from the common linux-linaro branch) then you should replace your existing gator topic branch (or add one if it is missing). This new topic branch can be created by pulling from the ARM Landing Team's tree [3], we have tree topic branches available for the last three kernel versions... tracking-armlt-gator (3.4-rc7) 3.3-armlt-gator-5.10 3.2-armlt-gator-5.10 The code in these branches is identical, they are just rebased onto different Linux versions to make pulling easier. - For Android kernels, if your kernel already includes the Gator topic, then this should be updated as above. If it doesn't already have Gator then you can add this topic now, or, leave it for the time being. (Some Android builds are using a separate Gator git repo in their manifest and this will continue to work for now.) If anyone has any questions or if anything is unclear, please do hesitate to contact me. For those people who have applied Mali driver patches to support profiling by Gator: you don't need to modify those Mali patches, just take the new version of Gator, this will still work OK.

I think its actually makes the hacking sessions better. Why have team hacking rooms? We should have topic hacking rooms where each tiger team meets each other and starts to solve the problems they've talked about in the topic planning session. I dunno. I think a lot of the work we are doing in the groups does not directly overlap, and when it does (i.e, platform integration level) it's as easy as grabbing the right person. From my experience at prior connects, a lot of the decisions around common infrastructure happened in the hacking rooms where folks could gather around there computers and boards in a shared space. Spreading us across rooms by topic areas would loose that cohesiveness that I think is really key to the work that happens at Connect. I think some of that is just a reflection of our team track organization. Consider a common goal like: Unify all Kernels That's a big topic, but if Andrea Mathieu Lee Andy Green Tixy Vishal LAVA PoC Ubuntu PoC etc... Were all on the Unify all Kernels tiger team, they could use connect to hammer this out. The hacking rooms could then change mid week for other topic hacking sessions. OK, that makes sense. Another one would be Android + DT...get your team and the DT folks from KWG together for half a day to hash out anything that's needed. In essence these become extended summit sessions. We need to keep 1-2 rooms open for general hacking in this case for folks who may want to just go deep dive into an area they are working on. Yeah, cool.

Figured others could just use it as a scratch pad. Is there another location that gives a complete list of all the topics from all the leads?

Splitting this by team or by topic seems to have equal drawbacks on either side. I share the same opinion, as I'm that sure if it'll actually make a difference at the end of the day. Currently we were organising ourselves based on tracks (teams), and most tracks had their own projects, without shared effort with other teams. Even when we had shared sessions, they all went well, as most of the time people knew what had to be done (as we also had sessions and tracks that were cross teams, like most summits we had). I think it makes a huge practical difference to have topics tracks instead of team tracks. 1. Topic tracks break down silos, team tracks encourage silos 2. Topic tracks can be aligned and attended by TSC reps, TSC members could even be the topic champion. In team tracks, topics may be spread out over multiple sessions 3. Topic track goals can be established clearly before connect and those goals can be reviewed at the end of connect.

We should have topic hacking rooms where each tiger team meets each other and starts to solve the problems they've talked about in the topic planning session. I dunno. I think a lot of the work we are doing in the groups does not directly overlap, and when it does (i.e, platform integration level) it's as easy as grabbing the right person. From my experience at prior connects, a lot of the decisions around common infrastructure happened in the hacking rooms where folks could gather around there computers and boards in a shared space. Spreading us across rooms by topic areas would loose that cohesiveness that I think is really key to the work that happens at Connect. I think some of that is just a reflection of our team track organization. Consider a common goal like: Unify all Kernels That's a big topic, but if Andrea Mathieu Lee Andy Green Tixy Vishal LAVA PoC Ubuntu PoC etc... Were all on the Unify all Kernels tiger team, they could use connect to hammer this out. The hacking rooms could then change mid week for other topic hacking sessions. ~Deepak -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

This should be enough to boot to a prompt on the simulated UART.
Beware though -- it can take up to 10 minutes or so to get there,

Linaro embedded Linux distro?
During ELC a few people asked me if Linaro had something bigger than nano and smaller than Ubuntu that they could use to build stuff. Of course I said Android, but a lot of people actually want a regular Linux platform where they can easily recompile what they need to hack on, add their own libs and scripts and generally work in an embedded, cross build way. I know there's OpenEmbedded and I've heard of something called livebuild. Does anyone have anymore info? This class of users is arguably the largest class of people using these boards so creating something targeted at them would allow them to get all the benefits of Linaro in a easy to use fashion. -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

What our customers want from Android
So I've been talking to our customers (10 at last count) and they really like what we're doing. There are three things that are getting in their way: linaro-android-media-create GCC4.6 frequent kernel upgrades They love our builds, but they'd really like it if they could get stock AOSP builds for their boards on stable kernels that they can work with using fastboot that have been CI tested and QA'd. I'm not advocating for the wholesale destruction of our current way of life, tip kernels, tip toolchains, linaro-android-media-create, but I would like to move in a direction that gives our users what they want. -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

And by the time you do that i.e. stable kernel and so on, then those customers will come back asking for this and that new cool feature available in the latest upstream kernel and ask you to backport it to your stable kernel. Nico, you bring up a good point. Consolidating and upstreaming core ARM features that exist across each architecture is our main job. The customer ask remains the same though. If we deliver a platform with a set of features, customers don't want any of those features to break when we give them an upgrade. Been there already.

Re: What our customers want from Android
I should clarify a little. There are different types of customers. Our main customers are our members. For our members upgraded kernels and GCC4.6 allow them to accelerate their delivery. The customers I've been talking to are actually using our builds to make stuff. They're the small start-up or even the hobbyist. They are also engineers within the member organizations we're serving. These customers would like their Android experience to be as close to AOSP as possible, just on the board they care about. They're happy with a stable kernel rev and GCC 4.4 because that's what they need to deliver. They use our builds because they generally work. They'd like to get our builds in other flavors, like stable-kernel green and cherry 4.4. On 31 January 2012 10:55, Zach Pfeffer zach.pfef...@linaro.org wrote: Oh one more thing...
