Thanks for having no objections so far! I had run some tests on my collection of Allwinner based devices and the 'stage/sunxi-3.4' branch was at least as good as 'sunxi-3.4' Not everything is perfect though. Both sunxi-3.4 and stage/sunxi-3.4 fail to work on A13-OLinuXino-MICRO which has only 256MB of RAM. This is not a regression in the 'stage/sunxi-3.4' branch and does not hold us back. I will address this problem soon. One more problem is that the 'sunxi-3.4' kernel sometimes gets stuck when booting if the mainline U-Boot is used and has video support enabled. This has been reproduced on the LinkSprite pcDuino2 board (Allwinner A10) when running DRAM parameters bruteforcing scripts. These scripts do a lot of reboots, and there is something like 1/20 probability of a boot failure. The workaround is simple: just disable video support in U-Boot and everything is fine. Maybe I will try to debug this issue, but it is relatively hard to reproduce and I'm not sure if I have enough patience/motivation for dealing with it at the moment. Basically, this is the last call. If nobody complains, I will just move the 'stage/sunxi-3.4' branch to 'sunxi-3.4' on Friday, 13th November. -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
