New LTIB for 5329EVB? When?

[jpa]

Sorry if this is a duplicate...apparently, by replying to an old thread the message stayed at the bottom of the listings...

There were posts to the effect that a new LTIB for the 5329 was due "any day now" back in October...any chance that we'll see it before Christmas?  I'm trying to meet deadlines of my own and some visibility into the release date would be helpful for my planning, even if the news is bad.

Hi John,

I don't know if you worked around the problem below, but here is the
response I received from the ltib mailing list.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think these symbols comes from libbeecrypt which
is packed with the rpm package (not sure though).  Can you try removing
the failed build (rpm -rf /tmp/rpm-lastnameBUILD) and re-trying.
Possibly this could happen if you interrupted a build?

If that doesn't work then I need more information on which host platform
this occurs on and a full log (compressed).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regards,
Matt

Thanks for pointing this out.  It will be fixed in the next released.

Haven't seen these errors before.  I'll ask around and see if anybody else knows.

Just an FYI there is an ltib mailing list at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/ltib/. 
That might be helpful for ltib specific questions.

It's here...  The latest update to the 5329 Linux image.. 
The long awaited updates to this kernel.
There are a whole host of updates, so make sure and read the release notes.



Those of you that took the classes at FTF on using Nano-x and graphics.  This new BSP should
have everything integrated now, so you no longer need to apply the patches.

Please let us know if you have problems with this latest version, so we can log any issues for the next drop.

Also...Uboot is now support for the 5329 and is included in the Linux LTIB image.

Have Fun.

>>Please let us know if you have problems with this latest version,

Be careful what you ask for.  What channel do you want us to use...forum?  service request? 

I'm still climbing the linux curve so many may end up being PICNIC problems (problem in chair, not in computer) but may still be useful for documentation. 

Using Fedora Core 5 with all but the most recent updates.

To date:

•  instructions for installing LTIB don't work from CDROM, even though I'm doing it as root.
  

bash: /media/ltib/install: Permission denied

• instructions for mounting image didn't work. 
  

mount -o loop m532xevb-20071102-ltib.iso
mount: can't find /pathname/m532xevb-20071102-ltib.iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
    but this did work
mount -t iso9660 -o loop m532xevb-20071102-ltib.iso /media/tmp

• Install from mounted image worked, except the instructions say to do so as root, but then the program says you shouldn't install ltib as root.  I chose to believe the program and did NOT install as root...

•  during the ./ltib build cycle I get errors, the last part of the log is below.  Haven't worked around this yet.

jpa,

Service requests and forums are both valid places to provide feedback. 

I'll grab the attention of the linux team and ask them about your install problems.

Also...just a note, you should be seeing some improvements in the ability to provide feedback on Linux solutions in 2008.  But for now we'll just have to live with the Forums and the SRs.  SRs are probably the easiest way to make sure a bug entry gets created in our internal bugzilla when you find one.

Did you get your build problems worked out?

I seem to have gotten around the initial build problems by switching to another PC, doing a clean Fedora Core 6 install, and then installing the latest LTIB. 

Now, adding the alsa-utils package also adds the libtermcap package which fails the build with the error message as attached. 

Taking off the alsa-utils package but leaving alsa-lib package in fails the build with the error message as attached.

I'll add these as an SR and take a look at what I did to alsa-lib to get it to build under the ltib of two releases back.

Build problems are still not resolved...

Forgive me if I'm being dense, but
rpm -rf /tmp/rpm-lastnameBUILD (or, for that matter, rpm -rf /tmp/rpm-lastname/BUILD)
both return:
rpm: arguments to --root (-r) must begin with a /

leaving off the 'f' of -rf got rid of the error message but had no apparent effect.  Deleting the rpm-lastname directory altogether and then running ./ltib again resulted in the same error messages.  Complete log file attached as bz2. 

[jpa]

Somehow the attachment made it, but my additional notes did not.  The .ZIP file extension is just to get past the forum limits...rename to remove the .ZIP extension (ending in .bz2) before decompressing.

John,

The new LTIB is complete.  I've seen it... and it was going through all the internal signoffs.  I just sent a note to see if I missed anything.  But it should be going up on the web.

It took longer than it was suppose to, because we went back and added Uboot support to match the LTIB that came out with the 5445x part. 

I'll post to the forum when it gets up on the web page.

Two ports are coming... The 532x and the 537x family.
