News

2009-04-15

• Added microblaze arch with petalinux v0.30-rc1 toolchain (ancient gcc 3.4.1, binutils 2.10)
• Fixed next patches generation
• Toolchains can be found at http://l4x.org/xtest-deb/current, in apt format

  deb http://l4x.org/xtest-deb/current ./

  Use at your own risk.
• The scripts to build the packages can be found here and here. No, they are not shiny proper examples of debian packaging but just do the job (tm).

2008-08-17 -

• Distributed tests

2008-03-19

• Added linux-next tree, generated patches available at http://l4x.org/next-patches/
• mn10300 now works (same toolchain)

2008-02-14

• Added mn10300 arch, toolchain broken - of course

2007-11-06

• frv toolchain confirmed working. Current problem is a source bug. Thanks David

2007-11-02

• Downgraded frv toolchain to official version from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/gnupro/FRV
• powerpc got updated to 2.17.50/4.1.2

2007-08-01

• arm26 got removed from upstream. So don't try to compile it anymore.

2007-07-23

• Install 'dtc' (Device Tree Compiler) for powerpc
• Got the sh64 toolchain to compile (gcc 4.1.3pre, binutils 2.17)

2007-07-01

• Fixed um (missing x86_64 libraries)

2007-06-23

• Fixed v850, m32r, avr32
• Added blackfin
• sh64: ICE
• ppc: defconfig dead, switched to bamboo_defconfig
• powerpc: iseries works; the rest wrong toolchain? (cc1: error: bad value (440) for -mcpu= switch), switch to 4.0.0
• m86knommu: broken, wrong toolchain, don't know how to fix

2006-05-08 - 2006-12-12

• Broken. Fixed now, hopefully

2006-02-22

• Rewritten test suite to be more flexible and allow more than just compile testing of kernels (TBD) and distributing of tests

2005-08-03

• Richard Curnow, who is maintaining a site with patches for sh64, confirmed that their is currently no working toolchain available for sh64

2005-07-28

• v850 toolchain now ok, thanks Miles Bader. One needs to configure gcc for v850e-linux
• frv and sh64 remain in uncertain state
• frv seems toolchain wise good with 4.0.0, just sh64 remains

2005-07-27

• mm features now a v850 and frv defconfig, good news. But it seems my v850 and frv toolchains are borked and I still can't find a place where I get a working version, nor which version would be correct (sh64 is also toolchain broken, -isa=sh64)

2005-06-25

• I'm now compiling all archs with the same gcc (3.4.4), except um which uses HOSTCC (gcc 3.3)
• Added xtensa
• More compact layout

2005-05-07

• Removed the unofficial snapshots as there are now official ones available and rebuilt the affected kernels
• Simple diff viewer for changes between to releases:
  • mm
  • rel
  • rc
  • git
  Syntax: ?diff[v1]=version1&diff[v2]=version2[&diff[short]=1][&plain=1]
• Added a link sections with similar projects

2005-04-23

• the git snapshots can be found here: http://l4x.org/kernelgit

2005-04-21

• Added cool 'Log on mouse over' Feature
• Reduced detailed view

2005-03-28

• Fixed the build system to work with the current numbering scheme
• Added some useless statistics

2005-03-16

• Some builds are missing due to the new numbering scheme and me being on holidays, working on it

2005-02

• Changed m68knommu toolchain to 3.4.0 (from uclinux.org)
• Upgraded ppc64 to 3.4, allowing builds of ppc64 again. Pre 3.4 missed 'dssall' instruction.

2004-01-30

• Add option to scripts to not use O= option - used for um for example

2005-01-24

• Updated h8300

Todo

• use same compiler/binutils for all archs
• send notification about breakage of architectures
• XML export, RSS feed
• Client/Server split to allow multiple machines to build
• Build _all_ defconfigs (~200)
• Testboot kernels on real hardware or emulator (qemu?), run some tests
• Have a patch-bot, which accepts patches and does a full run or which just accepts configs and builds them on specified archs
• ...

General

• toolchains are from debian.speedblue.org if not otherwise noted (binutils 2.15, gcc 3.3.3 debian)
• warnings are a pure estimate (grep -c warning), for time reasons I don't build -k

Arch specific

arm26

• possibly wrong toolchain (arm-linux-), missing option -nofpu

cris

• toolchain from http://developer.axis.com/download/compiler/ (binutils 2.12.1, gcc 3.2.1)

frv

• Neither gcc 3.3.3 nor 3.4.3 build from source, binutils 2.15 build ok
• Update: with binutils-snapshot-20050109 gcc 3.4.3 works ok
• Fails with cc1: error: invalid option `no-linked-fp', cc1: error: invalid option `no-fdpic'

h8300

• toolchain from http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/ports/h8/ (binutils 2.13, gcc 3.2.2)
• needs touch .config (doesn't know how to build .config)
• toolchain from http://ysato.dip.jp/~ysato/h8300-toolchain.tar.bz2 (binutils 2.14, gcc 3.3.2), provided by Yoshinori Sato ("ysato" "@" "users.sourceforge.jp")

m68knommu

• possibly wrong toolchain (m68k-linux-), missing option 5302
• 3.4 toolchain from http://www.uclinux.org

m32r

ppc64

• gcc 3.4 from debian.speedblue.org

sh

• toolchain from http://www.sh-linux.org/ (binutils 2.15, gcc 3.4.3)

sh64

• as doesn't know about -isa=sh64, should probably be -isa=shmedia
• needs touch .config
• known broken - no available working toolchain

v850

• missing defconfig
• assembler chokes on "Error: mov hilo(nmi),sp: immediate operand is too large"
• you have to configure gcc for v850e-linux-

um

• doesn't build with O=
