Well, I have several v5 boards I could use for testing. Bootstrap code and U-Boot issues are sorted out already and I could concentrate on Linaro's toolchain and rootfs components initially. I can also allocate a 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 machine to do builds. Would this help? I'd need help getting started with the whole build process but I'll be glad to put some effort into this. I'm really interested in getting the v5 port up and running soon. -- Pedro _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
