Branch Updates
- Master and Scarthgap both at 36.4.3
- Master also working with GCC 15 upgrade, latest merge in https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra/pull/1896
- 35.6.1 pending at https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra/pull/1891
- Currently at kirkstone, will work to port to scarthgap
- Walnascar released
- Pulled branch for this a while back, will update in demo distro
- Will start deprecating styhead, will focus on just walnascar, scarthgap and kirkstone going forward.
- Next LTS release will be in 2026
- Compiler changes in upstream is mostly done
- Discussion about future support for OOT kernel from NVIDIA, LTS upstream but not linux-yocto
JTAG Probe usage in recent generations, especially Xavier or Orin
- Post from Ilies in 2020, never got it working.
- Attempting to use ARM developer studio
- Attempting to troubleshoot lockup on CPU0
Devicetree issues
- See discussion in https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra/issues/1895
- Runtime application through UEFI
- Since devicetrees are no longer in the kernel this doesn’t work anymore
- Needs a different approach
- Recent related change in master/scarthgap in https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra/pull/1882
- All you need to do is depend on upstream devictree after this change
- This likely broke the example in https://github.com/OE4T/tegra-demo-distro/tree/master/layers/meta-tegrademo/recipes-bsp/tegrademo-devicetree
- Gets a depends on kernel out of tree, kernel include has changed, should be similar to this.
Swupdate status update
- https://github.com/OE4T/tegra-demo-distro/issues/333 - out of space in 4GB
- https://github.com/OE4T/tegra-demo-distro/issues/332 - I believe needs something like https://groups.google.com/g/swupdate/c/ZrDn9hVCet8/m/4lZhxoFfAgAJ - wondering how I’m the only one seeing this on master/styhead
Labgrid
- August talk in Amsterdam, ELC Europe
- Second stage using Yocto
- Image with RPIos, run ansible to do labgrid setup.
- Is proven, not pushed anywhere yet.
- Implementation is known good, just not public yet.
- Need to power cycle the unit, need UART for early boot messages
- Next have one RPI be a runner, once builder is done those could be sent off to coordinator, this will push to devices.
- Test cases all in pytest.
- Using robot framework report format binformat-misc and qemu-static
- Considering a change SDK for host tools on signing server, may be able to do something similar for tegraflash.
OSS Denver
- June 23-25 https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-north-america/
