== How to get the Linaro distribution ==
Linaro™ brings together the open source community and the electronics industry to work on key projects, deliver great tools, reduce industry wide fragmentation and provide common foundations for Linux software distributions and stacks to land on.
== Linaro releases ==
At the end of each cycle linaro do an integrated build of software with this variants:* Headless (no graphical UI)* Netbook (Netbook style UI)* ARM Linux Internet Platform (ALIP)* Handset (A KDE/Plasma based user interface) === Linaro 10.11 (snapshot 20101022) ===
'''WORK IN PROGRESS, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE'''* https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1011/Final
Install needed packages, on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage uuid-runtime realpath
WorkdirNext create a working directory
mkdir linaro
cd linaro
download Download latest linaro-media-create to a location in your PATH, e.g. $HOME/bin/:
bzr branch lp:linaro-image-tools
cp linaro-image-tools/linaro-media-create $HOME/bin
cp linaro-image-tools/linaro-hwpack-* $HOME/bin
Use dlimage script Now it's time to download the software image files and verify the sha1sumshardware pack for our target. wget We've download the Netbook style UI image, but you can download another (http://peoplereleases.canonicallinaro.com/~plars/linaro/dlimageorg) chmod +x dlimage./dlimage wget http://snapshotsreleases.linaro.org/10.11-dailyplatform/linaro-alipm/20101022netbook/0/imagesfinal/linaro-m-netbook-efl-tar cd image Now it's time to get a hardware pack for the IGEP board-20101108-1. (For now the hardware packs are only available on the Hudson instance running on jameswestbytar.net, but soon we should have them mirrored somewhere on linaro.org)gz wget http://jameswestbyreleases.net:8080/view/Hardware%20Packs/job/linaro-igep%20hwpack/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/hwpack_linaro-igep_20101021-23_armel.tar.gz Next plug in your SD card and ensure you know the device node for your sd card reader.
