About the Reference Linaro Confectionary Release for Juno (Multi-arch 64-bit)
This Reference Linaro Confectionary Release is based on the Nougat
android-7.1.1_r13 branch. This build is a userdebug variant
build, which contains multi-arch support allowing full use of the
64-bit ARMv8-A architecture, supports both 64-bit and 32-bit
applications and has selinux enabled by default.
This build uses the Linaro ARM Landing team kernel which is
based on the Android flavour of Linaro Stable Kernel version 4.4.32,
and includes the ARM Mali drivers for 3D graphics acceleration,
UEFI support, and Energy Aware Scheduling(EAS) support.
The sources are built with AOSP LLVM 3.8 clang-2690385 (based on LLVM 3.8.256229),
and gcc 4.9 for both 64bit and 32bit.
To switch to permissive mode, pass “androidboot.selinux=permissive” as
the boot parameter in the UEFI bootargs configuration, or run
“setenforce 0” from command line as root user after booted.
The Android AOSP software provided in this release is functionally
tested with CTS version 7.1 R1 and the CTS results are shared with
members, some benchmarks were run to observe the performance trend
in various fields as well.
Sources are also made available so you can build your own images
(see the Building from Source tab).
What is new

Please check the changelog.txt for details to see what Linaro has done on top of AOSP android-7.1.1_r13.
About the Android flavour of Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK)
The kernel used by Linaro Confectionary Release is based on the Android
flavour of Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK), which is produced, validated and
released by Linaro and is based on the Linux stable kernel tree.
The LSK focuses on quality and stability and is therefore a great
foundation for product development. It also includes backports of
commonly desired features, provided they meet the quality requirements,
and also any bug fixes.
Sources are also made available so you can build your own images (see
‘Building from Source’).
Firmware
Please use the firmware files from here, or extract the board_recovery_image.tar.bz2 file from the boot.tar.bz2 file listed above.
And then extract board_recovery_image.tar.bz2 and copy the contents to the board.
