12.01 iMX53 Linaro Release Candidate 

We've got a great RC for people to look at:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/staging-imx53-12.01-release/#build=6

Here's the test results:

We're working to get an accelerated version on iMX53 going, before moving onto iMX6.

Always happy to get feedback!

I dont think the linaro uImage is fully compatible with my tablet but I will give it a go at a later stage if the system image work. Is the current uImage able to boot mx51/mx53 now? Previously, it has to compile specifically for each platform.

I think so. Give it a go. Its easy to replace the kernel. Just follow the instructions listed on the build site and then 

Update the Kernel

Mount the first partition:

$mkdir mnt
$sudo mount /dev/sdc1 mnt

If you do a

$ls mnt

You’ll see a uImage among the files. Copy the uImage that was built over.

$sudo cp arch/arm/boot/uImage mnt

Unmount and sync:

$sudo umount mnt
$sync

thanks, Zach.

Thats was my only intention. To reuse the linaro android ics source only and not the boot and kernel image. I was just wondering if the libraries for mx53 is compatible with mx51 especially when the hardware acceleration is available.

Killerkink, the way we do our builds is fairly extensible. You could probably look at how we did the iMX53 and make a few changes to our build to bring in iMX51. It may be as simple as just using our build directly (including the linaro-android-media-create step) the just replacing the kernel with your iMX51 kernel.

i have the modified source for freescale r10.3.1 running on kernel v2.3.35. I was thinking if its possible to use some of the library in linaro android for mx53 and port it to CM9 running on imx515.
