The tarballs are useless for a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 because there's simply no way to install them as the OS is booted from internal storage that can't be accessed - so instead we have to send files that fastboot can handle. > May I assume that the LAVA jobs you guys will be submitting for the > Galaxy Nexus will also use .img files (so that I don't need to handle > file format conversion etc) Yes, that would be best. > or is it useful for you to submitt tarballs > and have them converted into .img by LAVA? That would be rather useless because the tarballs wouldn't be what users get - but if that makes things easier for you we can build them. Converting them would basically be a matter of unpacking them and using mkext4fs from the Android source tree to generate a filesystem image - but it's probably easier to just stick with img files. ttyl bero
