Generate a Script to Download and Program a Build

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

The easier we can make it for users to try our build the better. We save time documenting the same steps over and over and users don't have to worry about formatting the lines correctly. These scripts can also be investigated to look at the relevant details. This script should basically do:

wget --no-check-certificate https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/linaro-android_panda-11.09-release/2/artifact/build/out/target/product/pandaboard/boot.tar.bz2

wget --no-check-certificate https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/linaro-android_panda-11.09-release/2/artifact/build/out/target/product/pandaboard/system.tar.bz2

wget --no-check-certificate https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/linaro-android_panda-11.09-release/2/artifact/build/out/target/product/pandaboard/userdata.tar.bz2

bzr branch lp:linaro-image-tools

./linaro-image-tools/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev panda --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2

Whiteboard

[pfalcon 2011-10-26] Didn't fit into 11.10.
[dzin 2011/10/28] Move to backlog, possibly re-assign it to an Android resource.

Headline:
Linaro Android builds can now be downloaded and deployed with a script.

Acceptance:
A user can save the script to their computer, run it and it will download the build artifacts and deploy them on an SD card, leaving a user with a ready to boot card.

(?)

Investigate concerns of users losing data on an SD card: TODO
