The solution to the use cases you describe above should now be: * Go to http://wiki.linaro.org * Click the Developers link * Read a couple of paragraphs, especially the "Obtaining and Testing Linaro Images" section. * Choose whether you want to test daily builds: * http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/DailyBuilds * Milestone builds: * http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MilestoneBuilds * Or the official releases: * http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/OfficalReleases These pages show (in graphical format) how to obtain, install and test the images. There are links off to the various pages that make sense where appropriate. We could extend the pages by having explicit sections on exactly how to install on a particular platform, but these sections would grow as more and more platforms are supported. I don't have a problem with that but I would hope that linaro-media-create can handle board specifics so we don't have to document them. Take a look. Is this any better? How can it be improved? > Regards, > Amit Regards, Jamie. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
