The distro keeps its ipv6 feature (busybox networking and ifupdown
inet6, openssh, ntp and rsyslog follow); forgetest binds "::" by
default, one dual-stack socket that still serves IPv4. The release
image drops nano (with it file and the libmagic database, 8.7 MB; the
dev image keeps nano), the udev hardware database (7.7 MB of USB and
PCI identities for buses the board lacks, via BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS) and
urllib3's pyOpenSSL/cryptography recommendation (6 MB; nothing imports
them, TLS goes through the standard library). BRINGUP item 21 records
the round and the bench checks it owes; item 16 gets its re-measure
plan on the UP kernel with the performance governor.
Coverage: image.* covers the rootfs composition and the distro conf
(platform); forgetest's own suite covers the server.
The stream conversion now runs on the GC880 when the image carries the
GL stack, and /cam/h264 serves the same picture as fragmented MP4 in a
fraction of MJPEG's bytes (forgectrl 6573abd). This side supplies what
that needs and holds it to account:
- Distro: opengl stays a feature, with mesa trimmed to exactly the
path used (gallium etnaviv, GLES/EGL/GBM, no GLX, no display
platforms). Image: libegl-mesa, libgles2-mesa, libgbm,
mesa-megadriver. forgectrl dlopens them, so an image without them
still streams on NEON. Platform change: the next campaign is full.
- forgetest: camera.h264-stream exercises the endpoint end to end
(codec header, init segment, media fragments, /cam/status encoder
state) and accepts a clean 503 on a machine without the stack;
the camera covers name the new forgectrl files.
- VIDEO.md 5.6 now describes both streams and why H.264 earns its
place (the WiFi transmit path measures about 7 percent of the core
per MB/s sent); BRINGUP records the bench-validation checklist as
Next work item 20, including the release-size watch: mesa must fit
the 200 MiB slot gate.
rsyslog replaces busybox syslogd/klogd (VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils-syslog,
trimmed PACKAGECONFIG) and becomes the only log writer: the appended
/etc/rsyslog.conf sets the inputs and the ff_line format and includes
the per-logger rules that `forgectrl --render-syslog` renders from the
machine settings at boot. forgefirm-logrotate becomes forgefirm-logging:
render before rsyslog starts (S19), sweep the pre-syslog log files into
/data/forgefirm/legacy-logs once, and rotate the tree at boot and hourly
by rename + HUP instead of copytruncate. Pins bumped to the pushed
forgectrl (syslog emitter, Logs tab, export), grblHAL-glowforge (syslog
emitter) and python3-gfhardware apps (syslog handlers, capture dir);
the CI harnesses set FFLOG_STDERR=1 so failure diagnostics keep the
controller's log lines. BRINGUP carries the bench validation checklist
(Next work item 14); this is an image change and rides the next flash.
