Your right, it would be easier. The problem lies with the number of platforms we support and the number of 'flavours' we produce. Lets take a look. Currently we have support in some shape or form for: Beagle Board C3/4 IGEPv2 (slight customisation due to wireless driver) Beagle XM ARM Versatile Express Samsung Ux500 iMX51 We also have these flavours: Headless Netbook ALIP Plasma So if we were to release pre-built images for each board with each flavour, we would need to produce a staggering 24 image and this number is only going to rise. Having a tool to take one board specific part and combine it with one flavour is the most future-proof way of making images. > -- > Regards, > Shawn Regards, Jamie. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
