Linaro Toolchain Build Automation

Qualify the Arndale board

Registered by Michael Hope

We want to switch to the Cortex-A15 as our standard build and benchmark configuration. The Arndale board with the Exynos 5250 CPU is now available. Test the stability and performance to see about being our baseline.

[3] USB OTG with a powered hub, Apple USB adapter, and flash drive works. The onboard eMMC is very fast but only 4 GB. We avoid rootfs on SD by default.

Kernel support:
 * eMMC, SD OK
 * 2 GB of RAM OK
 * 1.4 GHz of 1.7 GHz. Runs too hot.
 * Bus/memory speed is unknown
 * USB 2.0 OTG as a host OK
 * No USB 2.0 host
 * No USB 3.0 host
 * SATA not tested
