Hi, In preparation for the release of Linaro 11.09 images on 2011-09-29, we have collected candidate submissions for our Linaro Evaluation Build (LEB), Developers and Community images.
All primary developement boards supported by Linaro Landing Teams have an Android LEB candidate image submitted and an Ubuntu LEB hwpack submitted. Note: Due to the early stage of the enablement, some images might not work. Based on your feedback, the Release Team will review the quality of those candidate builds and award builds that deliver a decent user experience with the "official LEB" badge. Builds not quite ready yet will continue to be published as Developers and Community builds for the final release until enough progress has been made. Note: Your feedback to this call for testing will provide the main source of data used by the Release Team to determine the user experience and hence is essential to this process. Linaro Evaluation Build (LEB) ============================= Please help our initiative by testing this month Linaro Evaluation Build (LEB) candidates for Android and Ubuntu: * i.MX53 Quick Start: Android: http://bit.ly/nygm05 Ubuntu: http://bit.ly/q5GJjc * Origen: Android: http://bit.ly/pOEGv7 Ubuntu: http://bit.ly/r4gGsk * PandaBoard: Android: http://bit.ly/p4jjNH Ubuntu: http://bit.ly/nTI5Xj * Snowball: Android: http://bit.ly/oMBTIH Ubuntu: http://bit.ly/pLHwk5 Developers and Community Build ============================== On top of our officially supported Linaro Evaluation Build candidate images from above, the Linaro Platform Team is proud to also provide additional images and additional board support bits that were prepared by Linaro developers and community for a more specific target audience. Note that the Developers and Community bits are provided on a best-effort basis and in the hope that they can be useful. We release last reported known to be working images.
