Hi All, Glad to see auraslate being discussed here! I just got one a couple of days back. Pretty interesting device. I would be glad to try something on it.

The CDs do have GB code in there but only ROM for ICS. I am just starting to work with the Android in terms of ROM and packaging. It would be great to have linaro on it!
