Colibri T20 ubifs workaround

Hi,
I am working with your Colibri T20 modules. Following issue 20847, your workaround is to use stable BSP V2.3 based on YAFFS2

As it seems that the angstrom-distribution.org feed for opkg for BSP V2.3 is down and I haven’t been able to locate an alternative feed, I want to ask:

  1. if you plan to address the ubifs issue
  2. what do you suggest to do to use a more recent BSP with supported feeds for the Colibri T20s

Thank you for your time

P.S.

I see that the feeds appear to be back online as of today, 21-05-2019, but my questions still stand.

Yes, that’s true.

  1. if you plan to address the ubifs issue

Currently there is no timeline for this issue?

  1. what do you suggest to do to use a more recent BSP with supported feeds for the Colibri T20s

In general, we don’t support these feeds as we recommend to the client to build his own custom image.

Yes, I did see that issue 20847 is to be scheduled. I was asking if there was by chance any change in that.

Regarding my second question, your suggestion is then to build a BSP 2.3 following your guide to avoid depending on external feeds, is that correct?

Would it be possible to build a custom image that supports yaffs2 from your latest sources just by reverting this commit ?

Thank you for your time

No, unfortunately there is no change.

Yes. If you want to work with yaffs file system as discussed also here.

Yes.
