Using the Android-based images
=======================
The Android-based images come in three parts: system, userdata and boot.
These need to be combined to form a complete Android install. For an
explanation of how to do this please see:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/ImageInstallation
If you are interested in getting the source and building these images
yourself please see the following pages:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSourcehttp://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource
Using the OpenEmbedded-based images
=======================
With the Linaro provided downloads and with ARM’s Fast Models virtual
platform, you can boot a virtual ARMv8 system and run 64-bit binaries.
For more information please see:
http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8
Using the Ubuntu-based images
=======================
The Ubuntu-based images consist of two parts. The first part is a
hardware pack, which can be found under the hwpacks directory and
contains hardware specific packages (such as the kernel and bootloader).
The second part is the rootfs, which is combined with the hardware pack
to create a complete image. For more information on how to create an
image please see:

Using the Android-based images
=======================
The Android-based images come in three parts: system, userdata and boot.
These need to be combined to form a complete Android install. For an
explanation of how to do this please see:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/ImageInstallation
If you are interested in getting the source and building these images
yourself please see the following pages:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSourcehttp://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource
Using the OpenEmbedded-based images
=======================
With the Linaro provided downloads and with ARM’s Fast Models virtual
platform, you can boot a virtual ARMv8 system and run 64-bit binaries.
For more information please see:
http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8
Using the Ubuntu-based images
=======================
The Ubuntu-based images consist of two parts. The first part is a
hardware pack, which can be found under the hwpacks directory and
contains hardware specific packages (such as the kernel and bootloader).
The second part is the rootfs, which is combined with the hardware pack
to create a complete image. For more information on how to create an
image please see:

The Linaro 14.01 release is now available for download!
The first release of this year contains several improvements and
additions over the last 2013 release. Most significantly, various
components have gained support for the Arndale Octa board, which makes
big.LITTLE support available to a much wider audience, and Android has
now been fully migrated to 4.4.x with no regressions compared to 4.3.
As announced at Linaro Connect USA 2013 Linaro GCC is moving to a
pattern of quarterly stable releases, with engineering releases in the
intervening months. This is the first stable release, and contains no
known regressions compared to the 2013.12 release. The next release of
GCC 4.7 will be the 2014.04 stable release. There will be no engineering
releases of GCC 4.7 in 2013.02 or 2013.03

"I like Kit-Kat, unless I'm with four or more people." ~Mitch Hedberg
The Linaro 13.11 release is now available for download!
This month's cycle includes significant developments from Linaro Connect
USA 2013 (LCU13). All the Linaro engineering groups got together in
Santa Clara at the end of October to discuss work for the next
engineering cycle and progress critical projects face to face and this
has benefited the releases from each of the groups. In this cycle, three
items stand out as particularly significant:
* The long-awaited Android 4.4 "Kit-Kat" was released and this is now
included in Linaro Android. As with previous cycles, the team had this
up and running on member devices very soon after the official release
and there are several videos showing this work, for
example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYQK1hT9iTk
* LAVA documentation took a giant leap forward following a week of
concentrated effort at LCU13. The latest version of the source code for
this is included in the repository, with a navigable version regularly
updated at http://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/.
* Linaro GDB, including improved ARMv8 AArch64 support, has now been
added to Linaro's layer and is available in the Linaro OpenEmbedded
baseline.
