Linaro's Panda-LEB build doesn't use Linaro's kernel

[Zach Pfeffer]

Right now Linaro uses a kernel from Pandroid to allow GFX to work. We would like to use Linaro's kernel that tracks upstream.

Andy has a tree that may work:

nico tree + johns patches for android + current landing work-in-progress patches

http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/andygreen/kernel-tilt.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/tilt-linaro-android.38

android_omap4_defconfig should be used.

There's a uImage at: http://people.linaro.org/~asac/tmp/uImage.agreen

Excerpt from: Linaro Panda PVR SGX status

Hi -

yea the "(Bad Address)" error is somewhat vague and can be generated by
a number of issues. i have already complained about this in the hopes
that more descriptive errors can be generated from the GFX shared
libraries.

i'll have a look at the code to see if i can find any other gotchas for
you to check for.

After several hours mumbling with Zach SGX is up on LT tree... the problems revolved around which of the many framebuffers needed to be used and the allocation in bootloader commandline matching what was set up for them. omap_gpu is surprisingly the wrong kind of framebuffer and omapfb is the right kind.

It's 640x480 only at the moment but otherwise it's alright.

Tree is here

Magic boot.scr contents is documented here

Use android_omap4_defconfig from the tree.

Thanks a lot to Zach for the time!

Andy, any progress on 1080P?

[Zach Pfeffer (pfefferz)]

The 1080P is a separate bug. I will close once the build comes out.

The current 11.06 Panda LEB does use Linaro's kernel.
