This bug is a placeholder for 1.3 BSP-related work to be handed off (from Tom to Nitin). In general, we want to move all the meta-intel BSPs to the new kernel version every cycle. Of the four BSPs being handed over in the initial stage, the sugarbay and fishriver should be relatively straightforward. For fishriver, this should be a relatively straightforward task. It basically entails modifying the kernel recipes and machine configuration to upgrade to the new kernel, along with verifying that all the kernel configuration related to the BSP in the meta branch of the 3.4 kernel repo exists and has been properly enabled. Note that with 2-point kernel version jumps e.g. 3.2 -> 3.4, the underlying kernel options may have changed and may no longer apply and therefore the corresponding features may no longer exist or their contents may have changed, etc. Moving a BSP to a new kernel therefore entails testing all the functionality to make sure nothing's regressed.
I tried with the v3.4.3 pieces what Bruce had in contrib branch, and FEI-1 bsp is booting fine with it. The graphics is coming up, and as expected is not accelerated. network , keybaord, mouse are working as expected. there is no sound & video acceleration on FRI-1 platform to do any testing of it.
Once Bruce's 3.4.3 changes goes in, I will be able to push my changes on top.
While this is required for the release, it isn't critical that it be completed for M2. Marking as Medium.
This work is upstreamed now: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/commit/?id=62b97450f3190965657d1c3b15bb7d1b313a9327
Booted FRI 1 in qemu with 3.4.4 kernel. No errors in dmesg.
