- standardisded on a single context argument
- removed Device.init() no longer necessary as initilize now
automatically gets propagated up the hierarchy. Renamed the existing
use of it to "initilize".
- related pylint cleanup.
cpuidle module implements cpuidle state discovery, query and
manipulation for a Linux device. This replaces the more primitive
get_cpuidle_states method of LinuxDevice.
Renamed APIs (and added a couple of new ones) to be more consistent:
"core" APIs take a core name as the parameter (e.g. "a15") or whatever
is listed in core_names for that device.
"cluster" APIs take a numeric cluster ID (eg. 0) as the parameter. These
get mapped using core_clusters for that device.
"cpu" APIs take a cpufreq cpu ID as a parameter. These could be
integers, e.g. 0, or full string id, e.g. "cpu0".
- UEFI config can be specified as a device_config parameter
- The same config is used to create a missing UEFI entry, and
to re-create the entry when flashing. UEFI config now wholy
resides within the device and is not specified for vexpress
flasher.
The boot monitor seems to have some buffer overrun issue while loading the latest Linaro android images.
The behavior is after loading the initrd, the kernel loading will fail, very likely to due command line buffer overrun.
the new initrd in the Linaro image is 3 times larger than the previous version, which could cause the issue.
putting a dummy enter between loading initrd and the kernel could resolve the issue.
