Hi, The Linaro team is pleased to announce the release of Linaro 10.11. 10.11 is the first public release that brings together the huge amount of engineering effort that has occurred within Linaro over the past 6 months. In addition to officially supporting the TI OMAP3 (Beagle Board and Beagle Board XM) and ARM Versatile Express platforms, the images have been tested and verified on a total of 7 different platforms including TI OMAP4 Panda Board, IGEPv2, Freescale iMX51 and ST-E U8500.
The advances that have happened in this cycle are numerous but include a completely rebuilt archive using GCC 4.4.4 and the latest ARM optimised tool chain, the Linux kernel version 2.6.35, support for cross-compiling, a new hardware pack way of building images, 3D acceleration improvements, u-boot enhancements and initial device tree support, a new QA tracking structure, the list goes on. For a full break-down of what was scheduled for the 10.11 release please see: http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1011/Blueprints Thanks to everyone involved who made this happen. Here's looking forward to a sucessful 11.05 release.
