Linaro Android big.LITTLE MP platform
Why ?
We need to create an android build for bit.LITTLE MP kernel to test the performance of big.LITTLE MP on Android and to mesure the gains we get with this kernel with Android.
Context:
This is part general platform enablement.
What gets produced:
Android builds with big.LITTLE MP kernel which could run on big.LITTLE Fastmodels and real hardware.
Where will the work get put:
The manifest and the build configuration would land into android.
