Document Booting the Igloo Android A Release with Linaro Tools
Pull Snowball Android A-release from igloocommunity.org into android-build.
The scope for this BP has been reduced to try out the Igloo Android A-release and document what had to be done to boot it on one of our V2 snowball boards. The reason for reducing the scope was the license problem.
Documentation on how to boot the Igloo Android A-release from SD-card on a V2 snowball can be found at https:/

[fgiff, 20110913] Closing this BP may also close this bug: https:/
[fgiff, 20110912] "A-release" name comes internally from STE, igloocommunity don't appear to have kept it/been told about it.
[fgiff, 20110909] Note that A-release is Android 2.3.4 with 2.6.35 kernel and does not have WLAN or GPS support.
[patrikryd, 20110913] Added some workitems, (wikipage, build with and without special ST-Ericsson gits, write BP for modifying LAMC, define android "hw-pack" (find a better word here))
[patrikryd, 20110919] Updated work items before approval/review.
[patrikryd, 20110920] Sent question to Patrik Klinger (ST-Ericsson) asking if we could get a nicer license on vendor/
[patrikryd, 20110920] After sync with Zach today we agreed that the goal for 11.09 will to just builds the igloo code and document how to and check if lamc can be used directly. Main reason is the license problem.
[patrikryd, 20110921] Putting most items to POSTPONED since I'm blocked by license problems.
[patrikryd, 20110922] Booted the Igloo Snowball A-release from SD-card on a V2 snowball and documented the few changes needed on the page https:/
[pfefferz, 20111003] The name of this BP was changed to reflect the work that got done on it. The remaining WIs do not reflect the original intent of this BP. These BPs: https:/
