h2. About the Linaro Android Release for Juno (Multi-arch 64-bit)

The Linaro Android release is based on a snapshot of the Android AOSP master taken on the 13th August 2014. The build contains multi-arch support allowing full use of the 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture and supports both 64-bit and 32-bit applications. Java-only applications will run as 64-bit in the supplied configuration with no modification. The release uses Linaro Stable Kernel version 3.10 and is integrated with ARM Mali drivers for 3D graphics acceleration. The sources are built using Linaro GCC version 4.9 for 64bit and Android (AOSP) GCC 4.8 for 32bit.

The ARMv8-A reference software stack combined with the Juno ARM Development Platform (ADP) provides the ARM ecosystem with a foundation to accelerate  Android availability on 64-bit silicon. The availability of this port is the culmination of a broad architecture enablement program carried out by Linaro, ARM and the ARM partnership. ARM partners will now have access to an AOSP file system with support for both 64-bit and 32-bit apps, together with a broad range of supporting material including the ARMv8-A FVP models, open source toolchain from Linaro and supporting documentation.

For those with access to Juno, this release can be used to examine the internals of the Android Open Source Project in a running system. Application developers, particularly those working in Java, will also be able to develop applications via the recently announced Android 'L' preview SDK.

The Juno firmware is updated to version 0.8.1 in this release.  This improves clock settings for the HDLCD pixel clock, adds support for system shutdown/reset, includes fixes for CPUIdle and provides other minor fixes.  CPUIdle has also been enabled in the kernel's Device Tree Binary.

The release contains Android ARMv8 optimizations for OpenSSL, LibPNG and BIONIC cortex C strings that were submitted by Linaro to AOSP. The release enables ART runtime as default in "compiler" mode. As part of our release validation we have observed a few standard benchmark and generic applications failing to run due to 64 bit compatibility of Android frameworks. The list is included as part of the test report to members. The other known issues and bugs found in this release are captured below.

The Android AOSP software provided in this release is functionally tested with CTS version 4.4 and the CTS results are shared with members. The BIONIC component is validated with Android BIONIC tests. Android Monkey tests were run for stress testing. Multi-arch support has been validated using examples provided in Android NDK.

The Linaro Android releases for Juno appear monthly. Sources are also made available so you can build your own images (see the "Building from Source tab":https://releases.linaro.org/14.10/members/arm/android/images/armv8-android-juno-lsk/#tabs-3). 


h3. Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA)

Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA) is a thermal governor that uses a PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller to control temperature. 
Based on the delta from the target temperature, the governor estimates the available power budget. This budget is intelligently allocated among the active actors (CPU cluster, GPUs, etc.) in the system to maximize performance while maintaining temperature control. The governor relies on actor power models which translate performance into power consumption and vice versa.

This kernel contains the set of patches that introduce the power allocator governor, the power actor interface along with an implementation of a simple power model for the CPU cluster actors. The governor and the actor interfaces are used to create a platform thermal management solution for ARM Juno 64-bit Development Platform.

This is a demonstration release highlighting the concept and implementation of IPA along with a sample platform integration. The code will continue to evolve based on discussions on the upstream mailing lists as well as partner feedback.

h4. Kernel Documentation

"power_allocator.txt" and "power_actor.txt" in the Documentation/thermal folder provide further details about the power allocator and the power actor interface respectively.

h4. Upstream

ARM is working with thermal subsystem maintainers for the inclusion of the power allocator governor and the associated components in mainline Linux since Q2'14. A number of RFCs have been posted to linux-pm mailing list as a result of this effort. The initial RFC describing the concept can be found at -

"http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/43243":http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/43243

The latest (v5) posting and discussions can be found at -

"http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/47189":http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/47189


h3. Linaro Android NDK

The build process for Linaro NDK has been completely revamped - instead of repackaging the latest upstream release with just a few components replaced, we're now building the NDK completely from source, allowing us to pick up changes more recent than the latest release. This has also given us the flexibility to merge ndk32 and ndk64 into one ndk that can target any supported processor.

Installation instructions: Download the NDK from tools directory of the release page and uncompress ndk-linaro-2014.08.tar.xz to your location of choice (e.g. /opt). Point the project you wish to compile at the directory created that way (e.g. /opt/ndk-linaro-2014.08). Since Linaro NDK is a drop-in replacement for upstream NDK, there will usually be no need to change anything.

A notable difference that may require some modifications to code using the NDK is that Linaro NDK defaults to using a GCC 4.9 based compiler for every architecture (not just 64 bit). Code that only compiles with older compilers will have to be fixed.

h3. SELinux

The SElinux feature is enabled in the release by default, user can also enable/disable SELinux using the UEFI boot arguments. To disable SELinux pass "selinux=0" as the boot parameter in the UEFI bootargs configuration.

h2. About the Juno ARM Development Platform

The Juno ARM Development Platform (ADP) is a software development platform for ARMv8-A. It includes:
* The Juno Versatile Express board
* ARMv8-A reference software ports available through Linaro
* Optional LogicTile Express FPGA board to extend the Juno system - this adds a large FPGA to Juno that can be used for driver development or prototyping.

The Juno hardware delivers to software developers an open, vendor neutral ARMv8-A development platform with:
* Cortex® A57 and A53 MPCore™ for ARMv8-A big.LITTLE
* Mali™-T624 for 3D Graphics Acceleration and GP-GPU compute
* A SoC architecture aligned with Level 1 (Server) Base System Architecture

h2. Known Limitations Listed by Software Component

h3. AOSP Filesystem

* The Juno baseport integration with AOSP is at an early stage and not all applications using the NDK will work at this time.
* Lack of audio support may cause apps using audio to hang
* Webkit is work in progress in AOSP. We observe few failures with webkit for 64-bit primary mode, apps using this functionality may not work.
* HDLCD issues include a lack of double buffering meaning tearing can be seen
* HDLCD compatibility with monitors is variable at this time
* OpenCL support is not present at this time and will be enabled in a future release

h3. Linux Kernel

* The big.LITTLE support is functional but has not yet been tuned for efficiency and performance.
* The CPUIdle framework is present but disabled in the kernel config due to firmware issues which will be addressed in a future release.

h3. UEFI

* No display controller support
* No USB OHCI support. Only EHCI is supported

h3. ARM Trusted Firmware

* Does not support changing the primary core using SCC General Purpose Register 1.
* Does not support bringing up secondary cores using PSCI CPU_ON when they have been enabled at boot time by SCP using SCC General Purpose Register 1.


h2. Monitor compatibility with Juno

HDMI support is not fully mature yet, and there are issues when using Juno with some monitors.

* On some monitors, the native resolution is not always achieved, and Juno degrades to 1024x768. On the next reboot, there is a chance that the native resolution may be selected.
* For some display modes on some monitors, the display can periodically lose synchronisation, causing a brief picture loss each time this occurs. The ratio of display time versus blanking time varies significantly across monitors and modes.
* On some monitors, Juno is unable to establish a working display mode.

The following table summarises our experience with the monitors that we have used in-house. Please note that in future we will strive to increase Juno compatibility across the majority of monitors, but this means it is possible that a future patch that improves support on many monitors might actually degrade compatibility on a specific individual monitor.
