Hi,
Throughout Linaro we are looking at ways to better coordinate the
deliverables that come from Linaro's Working Groups and Platform teams.
The idea of Monthly Component releases, a fixed date in the month where
each team would release their latest work fits well with what we do and
to that end a wiki page proposing the exact dates has been produced at:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MonthlyMilestones
You will notice that the dates are fixed, always the third Thursday in
the month promoting a unified consistency across the teams. Please note
that the Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds do not follow this schedule
and will continue to be closely coupled with the Ubuntu schedule.
Please take a look at the dates and highlight any problems that could
arise from them. If there is positive feedback we can make these dates
'official' very soon meaning teams could start using this format next
month.
Regards,
Jamie.

This patchset adds FSL mx51 device tree support. This
is based on
git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6 devicetree/test
This patch has been tested on MX51 babbage board and can
boot up succesfully to linux console with DT enabled.
Jason Liu (3):
arm/dt: add basic mx51 device tree support
arm/dt: add very basic dts file for babbage board

Hi All,
I saw the release notes for Alpha 3 stating that there was support for
the EfikaMX and decided to give it a go. Following the instructions
on
https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MilestoneBuilds . I am using Ubuntu
10.10 on an amd64 dual core Gateway NV52 (laptop.) I've got the
linaro ppa added to my system, and I've updated as of 6:33PM CST on
Thursday March 3rd. I've got linaro-image-tools
0.4.3-0ubuntu2~linaro1 installed. When I enter the command
'linaro-media-create --rootfs ext3 --mmc /dev/sdb --binary
linaro-n-developer-tar-20110302-0.tar.gz --hwpack
hwpack_linaro-efikamx_20110302-1_armel.tar.gz --dev efikamx'
It spits back
linaro-media-create: error: argument --dev: invalid choice: 'efikamx'
(choose from 'overo', 'vexpress', 'ux500', 'igep', 'mx51evk',
'beagle', 'panda')
Is there a newer version of linaro-image-tools I'm supposed to be
using, or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks for any help!
