[cip-dev] B@D support Renesas iwg20m board - issue

[daniel.sangorrin@toshiba.co.jp (Daniel Sangorrin)]

Hi Binh, Robert, Everyone

I have Project-X for iwg20m working with LAVA 2017.7 (boot test and a simple uname test so far).
# I will send the patches another day.

Robert: do you have plans to update to 2017.9?

Thanks,
Daniel
