Filesystem Debian Wheezy Soft fp for UDOO

Hi guys,

I've build a minimal debian soft fp filesystem for UDOO with all Gstreamer and Vivante graphics acceleration.

Could be interesting to share it?? :geek:

 

Great!

Of course we want you to share it!
I'm going to PM you so we can arrange how to share your work with the UDOO team and we can give it a try, then we will share it with the community!

How hard it has been?

 

Hi andcmp,

the compilation of gstreamer for debian is not difficult but I found some difficulties to compile GPU driver!

I solved some compilation errors for xserver libraries. I decided to compile some libraries with debian chroot filesystem to speed up compilation and some libraries in UDOO because they didn't compile in a chroot filesystem.

When I begun I didn't know if it was possible to compile all gstreamer and gpu libraries for debian, they are released for ubuntu 11.10, but it work!

 

Just curious why soft FP instead of hard FP? Isnt that like throwing way around 20% performance?

 

I decided to port debian soft fp because Vivante has not released binary for Hard fp,
so only soft fp complete porting it's now possible, but I did some testing also with wheezy hardfp filesystem.

 

miousername,
It would be awesome if you could document the procedure that you followed to create a CHROOTed virtual environment for the UDOO and how you utilized it to create a debian root file system. Including information on building the GPU/Gstreamer drivers in the process wouldn't hurt.

Thanks!

Yes,
it could be interesting to share this work and the patch to achieve this filesystem.

I try to post it soon with wheezy filesystem!

Hi

Many thanks for this work ! So, I've hope use it for music making and jackd return an error about alsa. After some searches, the snd_seq (and others) kernel module aren't available. I've try to build it with the tool m-a (module assistant), so it failed to build it with this kernel (headers and alsa-source packets not available). Have you a way to help me please ?
