If the question you have is general, you can get help in the cip-dev mailing list or the #cip IRC channel on freenode. But if the question or the problem you are experiencing is a complex one, we recommend that you ask directly the LAVA developers on the LAVA mailing list or the #linaro-lava IRC channel on freenode.

The Beaglebone Black uses FAT12 for the boot partition and ext4 for the Linux partition.
The primary focus of the current release has been testing with a Beaglebone Black - tests have also been done on QEMU but testing of the release with other boards is encouraged as is reporting the results back to the B@D development team. The release also addresses support of the Renesas iWave-M (iwg20m) board but the Cyclone V is not supported yet.
