[Sugar-devel] VM for building an ARM image

[James Cameron]

I've tested building with QEMU emulation, with BeagleBone Black
hardware, and with XO-4 hardware, and the XO-4 hardware is the
fastest of the three.

An ARM development system with more memory, faster cores, and SATA
disk interface, will perform better.

We still use Fedora 18 to build Fedora 20 on the XO-4,
because of unsolved problem http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12837

Instructions for setting up Fedora 20 on QEMU emulator can be found at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F20/Installation#For_Versatile_Express_Emulation_with_QEMU

Thanks for the pointer to:

I was not aware of it.  It is so sad that teams doing building have
not shared their work with OLPC and the Sugar Labs community.  Please
do share your work!
