I see. I guess there is also such a company. I think that it is not a rare story to demand a simple report while a company sells it cheaply or offer a machine. It also seems rather expensive compared to the other arm systems I have of similar features and performance. My prediction will be that with that price and the required information to order one, you won't get much interest. That's a shame. It does look pretty though. openblocks is one of the servers that are used in such network infrastructure companies and actually.

It is useless as usb support is _broken_ on multiplatform. Hopefully, Linaro devs seem back to work and looks like we may have a patch merged soon. Until then, doing more is near to a waste of time. I don't think making a start on a MP flavour is a waste of time at all. We are talking about packages in trunk (currently == experimental) rather than Sid/Wheezy. There's no possibility of us releasing anything with 3.8 but in the meantime adding the multiplatform flavour allows us to start laying the packaging ground work, finding bugs in the MP stuff and generally kicking the tyres etc. It's also an obvious step in the right direction. As you say the known issues, like the USB think, will be fixed upstream sooner rather than later. Since we are currently not yet talking about removing existing flavours I'm not sure there are any downsides to just doing it. And about the patch in this bug, it fails to be really multiplatform. During my tests on 3.8, I could already enable platforms like MVEBU, HIGHBANK, BCM, MXC and you can enable OMAP too with 2-3 backports. Once done, it needs to be tested on real platforms as it would probably allow to detect some more bugs. 3.9 may be better. This patch is a start though and doesn't preclude adding those other platforms either straight away or when 3.9 comes around as we like. Having the flavour would also enable testing on real platforms so that isn't a reason to wait IMHO. Thank you for following this up. I want to explain to me what you wrote. On the long term, we'll have also to consider if we should keep omap/mx5/vexpress or not. If we remove them, we should make sure that the transition will work nicely.

This is classified into the armhf architecture of debian. First I began and thought that an armada flavor would be added. When I consulted about this in debian-arm ML, I got advice from several developers what multiplatform flavour was better than armada flavour[0]. Since arm is developed toward multiplatform from now on, I think that multiplatform is desirable. Although there is still little SoC which is supporting multiplatform, I would like to support armada 370/xp (mach-mvebu) first. I created the patch which supports this. Please check and apply. In future all ARM kernels should be multi-platform, but I expect there will still be different flavours, such as for LPAE or the RT featureset. I would much prefer a name that will provide a more useful distinction in future (and not be too long!). Perhaps it should refer to the CPU requirement like the flavours for some other architectures. I see. Although it is very simple, how is armmp? NOTE: The vexpress can also be supported by multiplatform. If it is desirable to include this in multiplatform, I will create a new patch. I think that's desirable, but maybe make that a second patch? The linux-latest package will also need a transitional package to migrate vexpress installations. I see. I forgot about this.

There are other more minor issues but this one is more visible. Arnaud I understand that multiplatform has a problem for SoC. As you have pointed out, I think that these problems are being corrected.

Hin I am thinking that I add armadaxp370 of a new flavor to armhf. # This flavor is not determination. Because the name is long, I invite a name. This is supported from linux 3.8 by new CPU of Marvell[0]. I am checking that already work on armhf binary and it is satisfactory. As a board for support, I consider OpenBlocks AX3 of PlatHome, and Mirabox (I dont have this yet). There is also another new plug which comes with the Armada 370; the SmilePlug|1]. First, I will do BTS for supporting by linux kernel. I attach a patch. Please contact me, if you are interested.

Re: Add new armhf flavor armada370xp
Hi, Yes, we can use same kernel. As I replied to Sina, we solve these problems using DT. Each flavor of armel and armhf should have the same function, too.

Are there any other armada parts that it is considered unlikely to be feasible to support with the same kernel? -- Nobuhiro Iwamatsu iwamatsu at {nigauri.org / debian.org} GPG ID: 40AD1FA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, SmilePlug is also a good device. Although I do not know details about this device, it can work by changing DT.

Now, erm I don't know any Japanese at all, but there are lots of very pretty diagrams in there. But the picture on 4/24, and table 1.4 on section 6/24 shows the OBSAX3/4/x with an Armada XP, 1.33GHz dual core, 1GB SDRAM, a SODIMM that takes 1 or 2GB (more??), SATA2, Mini PCIe, 4 () GigE, eSATA, 2xUSB2, and 2xRS-232C. Very nice! Pity it says available in japan only. i'm including arm-netbooks because there may almost certainly be people on that list who would be interested in a group buy. there has been quite a bit of interest in getting hold of modular computing devices for rack-mounted server usage.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] OpenBlocks AX3/A6
Hi, Yes, this may be expensive compared with other ARM machines. However, this is not a hobby use. This has a guarantee of quality which a company can use for a server etc. And you can receive support, when there is a problem. Would you tell what price is appropriate?
