OE: Create basic 'SDK' (chroot-ready) and LAMP targets for ARMv7
As part of the OpenEmbedded bootstrap support for ARMv8, there's a need to have 2 different image targets, one that's small enough to use chroot, and the other providing the LAMP stack.
To prepare the groundwork for ARMv8, the initial targets should be created with ARMv7 + HF + Thumb2, as not all ARMv8 needed changes are yet public.

Whiteboard
[rsalveti, Jun 28, 2012] What would still be needed to be able to finalize the blueprint? Also, where are you publishing your local changes?
[hrw, 29.06] There are some build failures in hardfloat mode which I need to check. Then go though list from Steve and check do I need to add something into image.
[rsalveti, Jun 28, 2012] based on hrw's feedback, please bump it to 12.07.
[dzin, jun 29, 2012] bumped to 12.07
Meta:
Headline: OpenEmbedded ready targets for minimal and LAMP stacks compatible with ARMv7 are now available. This will later enable distro bootstrap for ARMv8.
Acceptance: lamp and chroot-based recipes created. Images tested on a real ARMv7 target.
Roadmap id: CARD-144
notes:
- meta-linaro branch from TCWG gives gcc-linaro toolchain
- core-image-lsb-sdk image may be what we need for "schroot-
- added few new packages into image for c++ headers
- fixed binutils and g++ problems - patches sent to ML
- Looks like core-image-lsb-sdk image is what we need for bootstrapping distributions. Now we need a list of packages to be tested to compile in it.
- Steve added files into wiki.
- I used Lighttpd instead of Apache for LAMP image due to lack of Apache recipe.
- Wordpress works fine with LLMP image.
- code present at http://
- we will see what more needs to be added into image when we get to moment of using it.
