The pinned and source manifests can be found here:

* "Pinned Manifest":http://releases.linaro.org/15.06/android/images/reference-lcr-vexpress/pinned-manifest.xml ("?":https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/ReproduceABuildExactly)

* Run the script

The linaro_android_build_cmds.sh script will download the source and create the build.:

bc. chmod a+x linaro_android_build_cmds.sh
./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -h  #To print the script usage



Most commonly used build options:

bc. $ linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -o $PWD/vendor.tar.bz2 -m pinned-manifest.xml
$ linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -t #To build from the tip of the branch without overlay
$ linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -t -o <overlay> #To build from the tip of the branch with provided overlay
$ linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -m <pinned_manifest> -o <overlay> #To reproduce an exact build from pinned manifest
$ linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -t -l <login-id> #Provide login/access ID to clone and build code from linaro-private repositories

If the linaro_android_build_cmds.sh completely, you will find the boot.tar.bz2, system.tar.bz2 and userdata.tar.bz2 3 files
