If you look at the Tizen IVI OBS you will see that we have already repos
for ARMv7l

Odroid was picked up for Common because it's shares the same SoC that
the Samsung product which are being launched now. It's a hacker board
for which Samsung can maintain the Kernel in line with Tizen
requirements (e.g. Smacks)

Tizen Common regroups a bit more than 700 packages (includes the
mandatory Common, Optional shared and Dev/Test tools). The list of
maintainers is fairly long.
My team in Vannes is in charge of its integration and release.

Smack is a key component in Tizen as Tizen is a secured embedded distro
and the base back of its implementation is Smack.

Using emulation is a a solution to break the dependence toward HW, it
might be easier to use IA HW. The Minnowboard Max is coming now and will
provide a low cost option for Hacker with a connectivity which can be
extended to bespoke HW (I2C, SPI, I2S S audio, UART and GPIO).
