Ubuntu Wiki

This page keeps track of the current release status of the ARM Team.

Summary

• work was done to move the omap4 images over to the new hardware release.
• Image changes were made to support the full amount of 1 gigabyte of ram on the pandaboard now (which resulted indeed in additional bugs like bug 633227)
• nearly all graphics issues with HDMI on the pandaboard were solved in cooperation with TI
• plenty XM bugs were fixed that enabled our omap3 images on the XM board
• the FTBFS list on qu.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs is largely empty for main (armel)
• a critical bug with the buildd kernels (bug 605042) was found by linaro, we are still investigating how to solve it.
• dove images were improved further
• missing kernel headers for omap4 were added to the images which exposed a bug in the linux-ti-omap4 (thanks to apw for tireless work to fix it)

Image Status

• omap4 images are switched to the es2.0 HW release, omap3 images work fully on the beagle XM board now.

Expected serious impact for final release

• We will get the final hardware for OAMP4 only very late in september or even in early october, it might be necessary that the OMAP4 image release gets delayed
• The above will also likely require late kernel and bootloader package changes and uploads to the archive. since the Hardware does not exist yet it is unprdictable in which amount the impact is.
