Daniel-san,

I think this is not a good approach. We would need to have a new linux-cip folder for each
release.
Let make it clear. Will you please describe your recommendation?
Yes, please see below.

Patches for the cyclone board should be on its own CIP kernel repository (where you can
merge cip releases and add tags). Then, we can choose which version we want by
specifying the repository and tag/commit_id.
Good point. But CIP kernel repository is curerntly used for release assuming it is tested. And CycloneV is not supported by CIP at
this
moment. So I put the patches in the yocto project way.
I didn't mean to put it on Ben's CIP repository rather on github. This way you can better maintain your "out-of-tree" cyclone V
patches
and merge (do not rebase please) changes from Ben's CIP kernel regularly. In other words, do the same as Renesas is doing at [1].

In order to have all the cip related code in one place, it would be
good, if anybody is using github, that at least there is a mirror of
that repo in gitlab. When we start automating builds/test, that would be
helpful.
Agustin: I don't mind, but is this necessary?.
Chris: Will you create another repository for u-boot?

Thanks,
Daniel





I don't think it is necessary since the CIP root filesystem only supports a few packages.
Do you mind if I rewrite this and other unnecessary definitions?
I am happy if you go ahead and fix it!
OK, thanks. I will also separate Beaglebone from Cyclone V.

Thanks,
Daniel

Best regards,
Takuo Koguchi

Hi Daniel-san,

I have a few questions:
- Why do you have two directories "linux-cip" and "linux-cip2" that are almost
identical?

linux-cip directory is for linux-4.4.55-cip3.
linux-cip2 is for the previous release and it is not necessary if you update linux-cip.
I think this is not a good approach. We would need to have a new linux-cip folder for each
release.

Patches for the cyclone board should be on its own CIP kernel repository (where you can
merge cip releases and add tags). Then, we can choose which version we want by
specifying the repository and tag/commit_id.

- I can see some xserver-related definitions on the board's
configuration file. Are those necessary?
beaglebone.conf is based on poky/meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine.
xserver-related definition was inculude in the original. I am not sure if it is necessary.
I don't think it is necessary since the CIP root filesystem only supports a few packages.
Do you mind if I rewrite this and other unnecessary definitions?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Koguchi-san,
Cc: Chris, cip-dev

I'm going to add support to project-X for the Renesas iwg20m board
which is equipped with an armv7 chip.
I have noticed that you added support for beaglebone and cyclone on
the deby-armv7 folder [1].

I have a few questions:
- Why do you have two directories "linux-cip" and "linux-cip2" that are almost
identical?
- I can see some xserver-related definitions on the board's
configuration file. Are those necessary?

Thanks,
Daniel
