Those are the different "profile" definitions of Tizen, for different product
platform. Generic is to be the common base of all other profiles, which will
include all common packages and all supported building targets and arches.
Mobile is for mobile phone platform currently, and IVI is for ia32 IVI
platform.

According your request, emulator but not ARM images can be found in:
http://download.tizen.org/snapshots/tizen/emulator/tizen_20140310.5/

The emulator images and packages are built by using almost the same source
code for ARM images.

In Tizen build, especially for ARM build, we are using a real full stack ARM
native runtime, which will be run inside a emulator container with several
accelerating tricks.

Yes, you can build out images from all source code with the help of gbs local
full build featrure. But also you can use the snapshots in download.tizen.org as
the base, and build individual package or group of packages by gbs, then
integrate the gbs output(rpm) into the images for testings. That's the quick
way for development.
