LAVA is the Linaro automation and validation architecture. It is a continuous integration system for deploying operating systems onto physical and virtual hardware for running tests.
LAVA supports out-of-the-box all NXP i.MX and Layerscape processors, and also some microcontrollers. LAVA also supports i.MX's flashing tool (UUU) and board control utility (BCU), making it easy to automate platform flashing and booting.
