- | ===== Plan ===== | ||
- | * Prepare for linux-next participation | ||
- | * [2/3] Make mainline build for ARCH=xtensa in defconfig, allnoconfig, | ||
- | * [+] fix remaining issues with allmodconfig | ||
- | * why there' | ||
- | * qemu needs proper handling for guest ioctls triggered via simcalls | ||
- | * [+] Make built images work (qemu, FSF) | ||
- | * [+] Build userspace | ||
- | * Automated build/test scripts | ||
- | * [+] build/test status/logs | ||
- | * expect script to run LTP | ||
- | * Analyse reference tree | ||
- | * proper bugfixes | ||
- | * new cores (dc233c, test_hifi_c3, | ||
- | * new platforms (lx*, ml605, s*) | ||
- | * SMP and its fixes | ||
