I'm wondering what the status is of the current Ubuntu released Jan 30 2015. There was a thread requesting Beta testing but that seems to have disappeared.
I've been testing the OpenCL.
As released with version 1.6.0 of the Brown Deer OpenCL compiler, the in-build tests mostly worked. By mostly, I mean that they seemed to crash when the ARM was busy (i.e. boinc running in the back ground) but when they were the only thing going they mostly worked.
With v. 1.6.0 none of my programs that I'd gotten working on the previous image worked. The all ended up either stalled or locking up the whole machine.
The upgrade to 1.6.1 was a complete failure with libelf missing.
The upgrade to 1.6.2 went better. I can now compile and get an executable compiled from source. I've gotten most of my executables to run with some tweaking of linker parameters. There still seems to be a problem with libclelf. When I try and link the kernel executables to an elf file I get a "libclelf.so not found" error.
The big surprise with 1.6.2 is that now the test process seems to lock up every time regardless of what is happening. Mostly it gets through the first test but locks up on the second. Sometimes it gets 7 or so done.
I've also reinstalled and recompiled the riecoin miner (fastrie/xptMiner). That mostly has a sieve error after 1:12.
On the plus side the reboot success rate is much better. Not 100%, probably more like 80%.
I hope this helps.
