* Luke Leighton * ARM Hardware * Beagleboard (OMAP35xx) * IGEP-v2 (OMAP35xx) * Beagleboard chinese clone (OMAP35xx) * ODroid (S5PC100) * Undisclosed box (ARM926EJ-S) * CT-PC89E Netbook (S3C6410) * x86 Hardware (maybe - depends on practicality) * Dual-core 2ghz Mac (running debian of course) * sample laptop with RDC x86 clone (IAD100HV). It's a 1ghz single-core Pentium clone but the CPU flags only have fpu and one other flag (sse?) and so anything that's compiled for x86 and assumes MMX exists instantly segfaults. such as qt4's image blitting function, yaay! |

Outline for a proposed Debian Sprint for debian-embedded and debian-arm in 2010-2011
Organised by Hector Oron and Konstantinos Margaritis
Sponsors
Genesi USA, Inc., Genesi Europe UG (Germany) and Red Efika S. de R. L. de C. V. (Mexico).
If you want to become sponsor or join the session, please contact "Debian contacts" listed on this page
Genesi USA, Inc. will also organize another Debian sprint happening at UIWICC in ?San Antonio, Texas, US.
Scope
Embedded: we care on embedded world, usually platforms with small footprint requirements. Provide and maintain tools within Debian environment to help out developing for such systems: ARM, MIPS, SH4, POWERPC, ... is a goal.
ARM: a messy mix between ABI, architectures, optimized libraries, ... makes it difficult for a distribution like Debian to ship a coherent set of packages for such architecture. One of the goals of the sprint is to clarify some of the issues involved.
Embedded + ARM: is a combo very much exploited in later years for device development and it has a growing community, most of it thanks to mobile companies.
Embedded and ARM Worksession
Dates:
21-25th February 2011
Past Extremadura meeting information at DebianEmbeddedWorkSessionExtremadura2006 and EmdebianWorkSessionExtremadura2008

Agenda
Some issues that would be helpful to tackle, please feel free to edit (or append to) this information:
armhf status:
Debian integration into dpkg
- Discussion/TODO: multiarch support for armhf (we have multiarch arm-linux-glibc_hf now thanks to slangasek!)
- mass-bug filing has been mostly done ([1],[2]), see new candidates
- some packages do remain, some (binutils, samba, lintian) depend on dpkg,
- squeeze has been released, increase the severity of all remaining armhf-related bug reports to "important".
- porter-NMUs are allowed.
- work on the debian-installer has been resumed, into official d-i git trees, already some commits, initial support for EfikaMX got in.
- TODO: add more devices, test images.
(For the record, d-i boots and works until the point it installs the base system
- TODO: add more devices, test images.
- kernel work is progressing and I believe we will have a recent working kernel soon
- Discussion: Handling 'flavours' (ISA and optimisation options) (e.g. ARM v5/v6/v7/VFP/Neon, x86 i586/i686/MMX) within Debian (dpkg support, package metadata, partial archives, multilib gcc/install paths, multilib- or flavoured- cross-tools)
- Discussion: Cross compilation environment (cross toolchains and target packages) - bare metal support
- Discussion: Prepare partial architectures within debian-ports.org for later multiarch and/or embedded use
- Discussion: Do we want/need Emdebian/Crush? Do we need uClibc port or optimized EGLIBC port?
- Discussion/TODO: Improve Debian Installer for handling custom kernel + userland on devices
- Discussion: Resources and infrastructure
Discussion: Software integration: looking at MeeGo, Linaro, Yocto,.. and Debian packaging efforts.
If ?LoïcMinier comes, he proposes some design and implementation of a more data-driven and flexible flash-kernel implementation.

Hardware and interests
Since we are embedded, instead of say, s390, getting target hardware transported is easy. One of the advantages of meeting physically we exploit is meeting with systems you don't deal with usually. putting them in handluggage is good idea
