[Jon Medhurst (Tixy)]

=== Highlights ===

* Posted "Remove define CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE" patch series to
  linux-arm-kernel for review. This was part of the 'single zImage' work
  done at Linaro Connect in the previous week.

* As part of the work for blueprint "Investigate block allocation in FS"
  wrote program to issue writes to SD in various sequences to try and
  get a handle on algorithms used by SD cards. (Seems to be not as
  simple as we assume.)

* Spent time on tasks in preparation for officially starting work at
  Linaro in September.

=== Plans ===

* Modify flash simulation program to match real SD cards performance (or
  give up trying to match 'difficult' algorithms.) 

* Run flash media use cases with different ext4 options.
