Hello,
I want to take a few minutes and mention in this mailing list the amazing work
of Jon Nettleton, Russell King, and others. This is 3.14 kernel, with FSL
patches, upstream patches, memleak fixes, and numerous improvements for
stability that are not present in the linux-imx kernels. The target hardware
for this has been the SolidRun product line so far (since the developers' time
is limited, and they don't have every imx6 device under the sun to test with),
but putting other devicetree files in it should not be difficult. Initial
tests on SolidRun hardware show noticeable improvements.
This looks pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing. What versions of SolidRun HW is
it supporting?
To list a few enhancements:
* FEC ethernet performance, rated by Freescale at 470 Mbps; with Russell
King's improvements pushed to 630+ down and 500+ up
* lower I/O latencies
* SDHC patchset for better UHS-I support
* residue support for SDMA with FSL's custom firmware integrated to work with
HDMI and optical SPDIF
* higher DMA and GPU efficiency in general
* and of course the upstream 3.14 improvements over 3.10
VPU and GPU have also successfully been tested with this kernel.
Cool! What GPU and VPU tests have you been running?
The repository is available at:
https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6 . Use the
"linux-linaro-lsk-v3.14-mx6" branch.
I'll have to mess with this soon and check it out.
Some members of the community are in IRC channels. One is #cubox in the
Freenode IRC network. Another is #imx6-devel (also in the Freenode network).
Comments welcome!
cheers
