[Linaro-dev] Call for testing: lp:~zkrynicki/launch-control/hw-profile

[Michael Hope]

Hi there.  Attached is the output for a KwikByte KBOC BB2.  It's a
BeagleBoard clone with ethernet and a HDMI port on the baseboard.  I
had to modify hw_profile.py as the CPU reports as armv7l instead of a
ARM.

This particular board is running a rootstock variant of Ubuntu 10.04.
Root is on an external USB HDD.  The kernel and u-boot are from the
Angstrom BeagleBoard project (for no particular reason).
