Week 32

 * Attempting to build enc_dec_demo for sunxi in cedarx-libs
 * Add includes to fix some build errors.
 * preprocessor failures at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6194508 . File does not exist in repo.
 * Talk to #linux-sunxi suggested by wingrime to replace encoder_type.h with type.h.
 * Deal with awful makefile which uses CFLAGS improperly so set all -I includes in buildroot.
 * Finally beat the preprocessor only to find a bunch of errors at the compile stage. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6194791
 * Suggested by wingrime to move to A20 SDK but he did not elaborate further. The errors appear to be an out of date version of types.h.
 * Notice libcedarv/ /sample: attempt to build sample. Success!
 * New issue on udev created by rebase. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6195121 (possibly due to linaro toolchain)
 * Small udev bug fix patch for udev http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2013-August/076370.html. Accepted.

 * Adding glmark2
 * Created package dir and added basic info.
 * requires jpeglib.h. fixed.
 * requires libpng12. Fixed.
 * requires libdrm and libdrm requires xlibs. build fails due to same error as https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6195121 therefore switch to soft-float CS toolchain.
 * requires mesa3d. Fixed
 * Bug in mesa3d build see https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6197590.
 * host-libxml2 does build the python bindings and something is installed (not sure if everything.) Attempting to determine if this is an unclean build issue. It may have been.
 * Another bug https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6197871 . It appears -m32 is passed in some absurd way. Added patch from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2012-April/021046.html
 * Bug GLchar https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6198693. it's a simple typedef char GLchar; fix.
 * Bug need libgbm from mesa only in 7.11.x and up. Bump mesa3d to 7.11.2.

 * Add glmark2
 * It built successfully with Mali on Cubieboard.
 * Determine how to handle libpng12 requirement. Either regress libpng to 1.2.x, port forward to 1.4.x or add option to install multiple versions of libpng. Thomas: create libpng12 package. Done.
 * Finalize patches currently waiting in build dir. Done.

 * This is the same error that I had for sunxi-mali. No known fix.  Workaround by building glibc toolchain using buildroot.
 * Build error with uboot see https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6467075.
 * selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc 0'
 * Attempting patch based on http://ding34.blogspot.com/2013/05/error-selected-processor-does-not.html . Hit by vfpv3 errors.
 * Attempting to use odroid-next branch of uboot in github.com/hardkernel/u-boot . Does not compile no config available.

Week 37

 * Patch securetty to add ttySAC*
 * Interesting site for exynos http://docs.kali.org/development/custom-odroid-kernel-image.
 * Replicate in Buildroot.
 * http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/drivers/open-source-mali-gpus-linux-exadri2-and-x11-display-drivers/
 * Bad USB-Uart driver lead to no output on console. Using version from http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx fixed the issue.
 * First successful boot but modules.dep is missing (thus no ethernet, usb etc)
 * Doing a pull to see if some of the newer patches for kmod fixes the issue. Yes, fixed upstream.
