Snowball board is a low power, low cost Single Board Computer based
on the ST-Ericsson Nova A9500 processor (Dual Cortex-A9 + MALI 400 GPU).
More info at www.igloocommunity.org

The snowball board boots from eMMC and then load the linux kernel
and mount its root filesystem either from eMMC or from a microSD card.
Actually this patch serie with QT support enabled in the default 
config file allows to prepare a microSD.
About the installation, the user will have to create a microSD with two 
partitions.A "boot" partition with the linux kernel and a "rootfs" partition 
with the root filesystem.


TO DO:

* Add the GPS support.
* Add the possibility to build an eMMC image directly from buildroot.
