Hi,
In preparation for the release of Linaro 11.05 images on 2011-05-28, 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.
If you have supported hardware, as found at:
http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/hwpacks/latest/
please help our initiative by testing the official Linaro Evaluation Build (LEB):
Ubuntu Desktop: http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/ubuntu-desktop/latest/
Android: http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/
and our Developer images:
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/
As a side note, hwpacks that have an -lt- in their name are outputs from the Linaro Landing teams, using some of their components.
Make your way to:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/MilestoneBuilds
For an explanation of how to test and submit your results to the QA tracker at:
For an explanation of how to use the qatracker please see:

For people who don't want to look around for stuff and want to run are super fantastic Android build do:
wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-panda/boot.t... wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-panda/system... wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-panda/userda... bzr branch lp:~james-w/linaro-image-tools/fix-panda <insert sd card and type dmesg> ./fix-panda/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev panda --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2
This was build from:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/leb-panda-11.05-rele...
To build from source do:
(https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource)
mkdir LEB-panda cd LEB-panda repo init -u git://git.linaro.org/android/platform/manifests.git -b linaro-android-11.05-release -m LEB-panda.xml repo sync
Then
(https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource)
cd LEB-panda make TARGET_PRODUCT=pandaboard TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-
To use the super cool gcc 4.5/4.6 preview you need a special branch of android: "dev_toolchain_preview_1104".
mkdir android cd android repo init -u git://git.linaro.org/android/platform/manifests.git -b dev_toolchain_preview_1104 repo sync
and build with
cd android make TARGET_PRODUCT=pandaboard TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=/opt/android-toolchain-eabi/bin/arm-eabi-

Hmmm..
I ran through these commands:
Adding Scott in case he wants this for easy demo creation.
wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-panda/boot.t... wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-panda/system... wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/android/latest/leb-panda/userda... bzr branch lp:~james-w/linaro-image-tools/fix-panda <insert sd card and type dmesg> ./fix-panda/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev panda --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2
You may want to make sure the last command is all on the same line.
I've added a .sh with all the commands in it to this email.
source trybuild.sh
Watch out for where your sd card device is with this script!
Happy Pandaing!

I saw this with a broken SD card also try udisks --inhibit to see if that's caused by automount for you.
My SD card was good and udisks --inhibit didn't help. This should happen consistently if you don't run l-a-m-c as root https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools/+bug/789093

This is fixed now with the 1003.4 kernel available at the Linaro Overlay.

When entering Vexpress testing results at qatracker.linaro.org please ensure you state which hwpack you tested.
Ricardo, are you recommending people test this new version as that is what we want to release?
Thanks,
James
P.S. only two results entered in to qatracker.linaro.org so far and we are but hours from release. *You* need to test on the supported hardware you have available if you want to have a quality release.

Yes, please, sorry it wasn't that clear.
Yeah, *PLEASE* find at least some minutes today and tomorrow to test our images with all hardware we're targeting.
Thanks,
