if you take a look to the instructions published in the release or the wiki: http://releases.linaro.org/13.08/ubuntu/vexpress
you'll notice the pre-built image is generated using linaro-image-tools.
you can create a pre-built image with the following command: linaro-media-create --image-file vexpress-raring_developer_20130826-443.img --image-size 3G --dev vexpress --hwpack hwpack_linaro-vexpress_20130826-443_armhf_supported.tar.gz --binary linaro-raring-developer-20130826-474.tar.gz
Adjust --image-size option as you need.
Jeez I played a bit with linaro-media-create, the wiki don't provide much pages about it I consulted this page https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Ubuntu/ImageInstallation
And the example given with --mmc was a bit of a deterrent for my qemu setup and the page vaguely said that it should be easy to do for qemu, then link to https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/Qemu That is no more verbose :) and provide ref ti file back in 2011 and don't speak about --image-size :)
Well I will give your solution a try, I am pretty sure it will work fine. The solution I found by successive approximation as about the same as the later qemu link, i.e mount part to extract vmlinuz/initrd, I use gparted (command line would do the same) to create my /d partition. so basically all works fine. I can even bridge it and apt-get update it. I haev not buoot my own build for now as I am working mon app build env a the moment, i.e I am more on the xbuild chain, still have my runtime qemu'ed for some functional testing.
Thanx again for your reply, I will keep it in my cheat cheat :) Cheers, Phi
