Parent article: Updates from Linaro

I set up Linaro on my i.MX53 development board last week. Set up went quite well, but there's annoying problems once you get it going. Some of these are probably down to inexperience and can be hacked around. The most annoying is that the uboot update script from Ubuntu doesn't understand Linaro's kernel versioning scheme, so when you try to modify your uboot setup or upgrade your kernel you get 'not updating, wrong subarchitecture' (not the exact message.)

I wish it was based on Debian rather than Ubuntu, but I suppose Ubuntu's more frequent release cycle is useful to them.

This was caused by bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/721147, that we already integrated on our own repositories (PPAs). Fix in Ubuntu itself should come in the following weeks.

If you grab current image this issue should be gone.

This is probably the entirely wrong place to ask about this but I thought I'd mention; I just installed these images and flash-kernel is still broken:
hwpack_linaro-lt-mx53loco_20110527-0_armel_supported.tar.gz
linaro-natty-alip-tar-20110527-0.tar.gz

I commented out the 'exit 0' in the check and everything works OK now.
