Thanks Martin, I could build bios-crypto from git. It signs and it looks like everything works :) Thanks everybody for the help. On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 12:57 PM, Jerry Vonau wrote: > On Thu, 2012-09-13 at 17:51 -0700, John Gilmore wrote: > > > On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 3:57 PM, Jose Prous > wrot

Thanks for all the replies. We did a build using qemu, it took about 3 hours, it's acceptable for our needs. Now the problem is signing the build. But it looks like bios-crypto doesn't work with arm. What is normally done in this case? Sign in a x86 machine? On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 10:09 PM, Jam

I agree, the ratio between emulation and native is not so great, it is only around 2:1. Having fast I/O attached to your emulator host would compensate to some degree. For those with slow or unreliable internet, it may be faster to do a build in emulation than to use an XO-1.75 over SSH followed
