Linaro Android

Support using Android img

Registered by Zach Pfeffer on 2011-06-27

Android builds *.img files (boot.img, userdata.img system.img). We should be able to use these directly in linaro-android-media-create and use fastboot to program them directly in the targets we use.

If you do an AOSP build you will see a few .imgs:

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -m 3.1-base.xml
repo forall -c git checkout android-3.1_r1 # bunch of errors: error: pathspec 'android-3.1_r1' did not match
