[PATCH 0/4] meta-yocto-bsp: 3.10 updates

[PATCH 0/4] meta-yocto-bsp: 3.10 updates

[Bruce Ashfield]

Richard/Saul,

Here's the last set of updates on the heels of the 3.10
stabilization.

I realize that these are later than I wanted to send them,
but with other issues around 3.10, it didn't make sense
to pile them on.

They are kernel version uprevs, but there are a number of
ourstanding bugs on all the boards that make no sense to
fix on 3.4. With this, we do take the risk of new bugs, but
the newer kernel fixes a lot, and hopefully breaks very
little.

Also with this, we have all reference BSPs on 3.10!

So here they are, tested locall and by the Wind River 
BSP team.

Cheers,

Bruce

[PATCH 3/4] beagleboard: upgrade the kernel to 3.10.x

[Bruce Ashfield]

From: Liming Wang <liming.wang@windriver.com>

In 3.10.x linux kernel, uImage can't be compiled by default. But zImage
has been supported by the latest u-boot, so use zImage as the default kernel
image file. In u-boot command, use "bootz", instead of "bootm", to boot the kernel.

And add device tree files to support dtb in latest kernel.

NAK. (At least based on the info given above regarding the uImage to
zImage transfer).

I missed this patch earlier... 

What's the issue with uImage on 3.10.x?
I'm running a kernel.org 3.10.x using linux-yocto-custom just fine here
(although for another board).

I suspect the issue (that I guess Liming had), is due to the powerpc
being mixed into his build. (Bruce replied on the oe-core list to a
path which corrected the path to the DTS).

Cheers,
Anders

No, that wasn't the issue. uImage requires a LOADADDR in many cases and
that isn't currently encoded in the machine configs.

zImage works fine, want to expand our coverage with the reference boards,
so no, there's no NAK of this. It's fine as is.

Other layers and BSPs are free to use uImage, just as this reference
is free to use the zImage.

I forgot to add that if QA shows issues with this change, then obviously,
I'll revisit the image format default.

Ah, ok. Then I'll obviously redraw my NAK-wishes for this patch.

I think the reason that uImage can't be compiled should have been stated
in the commit log, though. If for nothing else, just to make it clear to
everyone that there's no general uImage issue; rather an issue with the
specific board setup.

We can do that. I also re-opened the bugzilla so it can be used for making
sure this is clear.
