Have we distilled the requirements for a test image down into a document anywhere?
booting to linux kernel on UART console is enough. VGA 800x600 assuming a micro-desktop board is icing on the cake.
Namely, lists of what is required and what would be good or nice to have under explicit headings?
If not I'll be happy to start a wiki page. Looks like we need a build of uboot and the kernel + test software to exercise the interfaces we want to test. Possibly with automated gathering and interpreting of results to speed the logging and repair of problems.
this would be fantastic.
note that even having u-boot show console output is significant as it does basic initialisation of PLL and DDR3.
if you get that far you know the following are good:
* power * uart * PLL * CPU * DDR3 * Micro-SD
which is a heck of a lot.
