Hi,

In preparation for the release of Linaro 11.07 images on 2011-07-28,
a suitable candidate has been selected for testing.

Please help our initiative by testing the official Linaro Evaluation
Build (LEB):

* Android:
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-panda/

* Ubuntu:
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/ubuntu/leb-panda/latest/

Another exciting development worth sharing is the arrival of very early
Linaro android builds for snowball. Our snowball builds are combining AOSP
based Linaro Platform code with a landing team kernel based on a recent
linux-linaro and linux-linaro-android with an androidized linux-linaro kernel with
landing team goodies on top. 
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-snowball/

On top of our officially supported Linaro Evaluation Builds images above,
the Linaro Platform Team is proud to also provide a set of images prepared by
Linaro developers and community for specific target audience. Developers and

Community Builds images are provided on a best-effort basis and in the hope
that they can be useful. Last reported known to be working images can be found
below:

* Nano:
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/nano/latest/

* ALIP:
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/alip/latest/

* Developer:
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/developer/latest/

* Ubuntu-desktop
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/ubuntu-desktop/latest/


A list of all hardware packs hosted by Linaro Platform can be found below:

  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/hwpacks/latest/

Please support the Developers and Community Builds images efforts by testing

and providing feedback for our builds.

As a side note, hwpacks that have an -lt- in their name are outputs from
the Linaro Landing teams, using some of their components.

Similar to the spirit of the Ubuntu based Developers and Community images,

the Linaro Android Platform Team provides a set of vanilla AOSP builds
that use Linaro toolchain and the Linaro mainline kernel for development
boards that have good enough mainline support to run a full AOSP user

experience. Those builds are not officially supported and are provided
in the hope that they might be useful.

* Android Vanilla AOSP for BeagleBoard-xM:
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/beaglexm/

* Android Vanilla AOSP for PandaBoard:
  http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/panda/
