For Linux&Android installation on TQ6410, here are recommend steps:
1. Switch to nor boot mode and power cycle
2. Format nand flash -- 'f' command
3. Install u-boot in nand flash -- 'v' command
4. Switch to nand boot mode and power cycle
5. Install linux kernel -- 'k' command
6. Install rootfs -- 'y' command

*Note:
Ensure your u-boot bootarg setting like this, when you try to boot Android
root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=yaffs2 init=/linuxrc console=ttySAC0,115200

NAND Flash size: 256 MiB

Enter your Selection:f


NAND scrub: device 0 whole chip

Warning: scrub option will erase all factory set bad blocks!

There is no reliable way to recover them.

Use this command only for testing purposes if you

are sure of what you are doing!

Used exact procedure listed here, loaded fine, stated fine.
Files from ftp !
I have not owned any android device before, i'm finding the performance extremely poor, lan not working, I don't have wifi for it, video sample slow and choppy.
Fell like if I load Windows7 on a PII pc, is it the hardware? need better cpu/ram or this build is bad ?
