The lms7_7.1.20.bb contains a URL that is no longer valid. The recipe should either be fixed or removed (is anything actually using the lms recipes, and if not, why?): WARNING: Checksum failure encountered with download of http://software.intel.com/file/37962;downloadfilename=lms+7.1.20.25.zip - will attempt other sources if available http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8011/builders/nightly-intel-gpl/builds/6/steps/Building%20Images/logs/stdio
Nitin, can you please take a look. Unless someone really objects, I would think we could remove version 7 in favor of the version 8 recipe Nitin added.
ok, I will be taking out lms 7 recipe. BTW there is also lms 9 now. It would be better to replace lms 7 with lms 9. But I do not have any platform to validate lms 9.
chiefriver was the BSP using lms7, so with lms7 going away, shall we retire chiefriver BSP now?
I don't see how it follows that because a recipe that a BSP uses is obsolete that the BSP should go away. Shouldn't you update the lms support in the BSP instead?
Agreeing with Tom here, is there any reason the BSP can't be updated to the later version of lms?
As per my understanding LMS version need to match the AMT version on the board. That is why we have multiple lmv versions in the tree.
The lms code does seem to have version-testing support, so it would seem later versions should support older versions. It would also be poor software design to discard backward-compatibility, especially if the older versions of the software go away as they have in this case. Which isn't to say that's not the way things actually are.. So, we should determine which is the case - if version 7 of the lms software has indeed gone away without any alternative e.g. backward support in version 8/9, then owners of that hardware are out of luck and the version 7 software needs to be put back up for download, and the only problem here is a broken link that needs to be restored. If on the other hand, version 7 hardware is handled by version 8 of lms as seems more likely, then we just upgrade to version 8.
I do not have any board with working AMT7, so there is no way for me to check weather the lms8 will work with AMT7 board.
This is confusing now because you wanted to get rid of the chiefriver BSP because there's no more lms7 software, which is what chiefrvier needs. If you don't have a chiefriver, does QA?
a patch is out on ML to fix this
