Merging stuff from Poky into OpenEmbedded

Recently I started merging interesting stuff from OpenedHand’s Poky into OpenEmbedded. Now, with OE using GIT as storage for metadata it is much, much easier then it was in Monotone times.

I have over 3 thousands of revisions exported (using git format-patch) from Poky and I am reviewing them and adapt to add into OE. Useful [...]

My private buildbot

One of great things which OpenedHand use to get Poky into working state is buildbot. But it is available only over VPN so recently I started my own buildbot for my projects.

Currently there are few build configurations enabled:

Poky build from scratch — qemuarm, c7×0, om-gta01, qemux86 images Poky incremental (same targets as above) Ångström incremental with same [...]

2.6.23 on Tosa

Thanks to work done by Dmitry Baryshkov we have 2.6.23 kernel working properly on Zaurus SL-6000 (Tosa). Ångström images are already present so users can test how does it works for them.

Today I reflashed Tosa with fresh build and did some testing. We still have problem with framebuffer (famous yellow lines) but otherwise it looks [...]

First one — which optimisations can be used on “i686″? It has MMX for sure but does it have SSE? SSEv2? SSEv3? 3DNow! technology? It depends on cpu… [...]

PC Engines Alix1c arrived

During GUADEC time Stelios Koroneos from Digital Opsis announced that PC Engines company donated two Alix1c boards to OpenEmbedded. As the board is interesting I wrote that if no one else will mail than I would like to play with it.

Today it picked it on post office and brought home. First reaction during unpacking: “Wow, [...]

Got GTA01B_v4

I just got my GTA01B_v4 from UPS courier. This is send as “developer update” as package contains:

GTA01B_v4 phone battery (charged) Europlug -> US plug adapter (no idea what for)

After powering phone I started ‘DM2′ application which allow to make few simple tests of hardware. And let Mickeyl and Sean stop talking that Neo1973 has nothing common with [...]
