== Highlights ==
- The Memory Management group met on #linaro-mm-sig IRC channel on
20110622. A summary of the meeting:
* Most of the discussion revolved around the large physical
allocation support (aka CMA) - specifically on the CMA areas
initialization, allocations being in a specific area (memory bank),
handling device specific attributes.
* Towards the end of the meeting the discussion also touched on
dma-mapping API status, as well as the participation to Linaro Connect.
There are already 5 V4L2 developers interested in collocating a V4L2
brainstorming session with Linaro Connect. there might be a 6th one
- ARMHF
* Java is fixed - at least gcj seems to work. However immediately
after that ecj started complaining. Konstantinos has nevertheless built
a lot of packages for armhf - next step is to bootstrap openjdk
* kde4libs has been failing lately, leading to not being able to have
kde armhf packages ready. This was pinpointed to be due to qt4 atomics
being broken on armhf, missing the patch from Ubuntu, so kde packages
are now getting fixed
* Debian has/is just undergoing a huge number of transitions now,
and for debian-ports the team has to act on those manually (status is in
http://www.debian-ports.org/~iwamatsu/transition/)
- Device tree: Grant Likely has been working on bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707047 (Only half of RAM useable when
using Device Tree on Panda board). Grant is also coordinating the
efforts for the Linaro Connect discussions related to device tree and
boot architecture.
- Boot architecture: Loïc Minier has started a discussion on the
boot-architecture mailing list (see
http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/boot-architecture/2011-June/000016.html)
- trying to create a reasonable use case which 'expresses the concept of
"modules" that the boot architecture would cover'.
== Upcoming Deliverables ==
* Expected to close some documentation work items for ARMHF and Boot
Architecture during week 26
* Bootable SD card images for armhf, for the efikas, pandaboard,
trimslice, should be uploaded during week 26
* ARMHF initial set of benchmarks should start appearing during week 26
== Miscellaneous ==
