Hi,
In preparation for the release of Linaro 11.06 images on 2011-06-30, a suitable candidate has been selected for testing. The release is expected to be tested heavily and provide the most stable and feature-rich images to date this cycle.
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/
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/
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/

We didn't prepare release highlights/summary for the candidate images this time around but planned to publish them with the final release. But now that you say it I agree we should get that out alongside the candidate images; let's try to get that done for next month.

It has been fixed and image has been updated.

Known Issues
Android:
- Problems with HDMI output on monitors using a hdmi2dvi connector
have been reported
- See https://launchpad.net/bugs/803014 for more info
- Display glitches for the green droids on early splashscreen have
been reported
- See https://launchpad.net/bugs/795753 for more info
- Networking with ethernet requires manual actions to get a
connection
- See https://launchpad.net/bugs/788746 for a workaround
- Mouse falls asleep and need keyboard to wake up
- See https://launchpad.net/bugs/772520 has more info
This is apparently upstream issue btw. It's probably still worth mention it, as otherwise it's easy to think that a machine hanged. But then we probably should add that only few keyboard keys actually wake up (ESC, F1-F4, F10, analogs of usual Android hardware keys).
- Gallery application does not find any photos
- See https://launchpad.net/bugs/772530 for more info
- WiFi support is missing in LEB/Android
- See https://launchpad.net/bugs/803063 for more info
- u-boot 2011.06 is broken for Android beagleXM images
- See https://launchpad.net/bugs/803142 for a workaround and fix
I guess following should be added to:
* panda/leb-panda don't have ADB over USB working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803057
ADB connection over USB is important Android feature, basic way to deploy application during development. Without it, also the only way to get to root console is to use serial cable. While for our target boards we probably can safely assume that everyone has a cable, it's not really included with boards, and it's still a bit hacky to require separate low-level means to access administration functionality (imagine Ubuntu to require serial cable to get root).
