Installation precedures for pandaboard with BeadaFrame

Post by esky-sh » Sat Dec 03, 2011 9:19 pm

Actually the installation precedures divided into 2 parts:
1. hardware rework to pandaboard
2. software installation on TF card

[hardware rework on pandaboard]

[software installation]
Android images follow best upstream practices and come in form of three filesystem tarballs.
system filesystem (system.tar.gz)
boot filessystem (boot.tar.gz)
userdata filesystem (userdata.tar.gz)

After downloading the artifacts for your board, you can flash them to your SD card using the linaro-android-media-create tool.
Example: Install Android Panda LEB
Install required packages, download linaro-image-tools and latest released Android Panda LEB.
# install linaro-android-media-create prerequisites
$ sudo apt-get install python-argparse python-parted

# get linaro-image-tools install
$ tar xf linaro-image-tools-0.4.8.tar.gz

After plugging in your SD card, use dmesg command to figure out the mmc device path:

$ dmesg

and look for something like:
[42335.758962] mmc0: new SDHC card at address e624
[42335.759227] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SU04G 3.69 GiB
[42335.759493] mmcblk0: p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 p6 >

In this example, the name will be /dev/mmcblk0.

Install downloaded release artifacts:
$ sudo /path/to/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --dev panda --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2

Currently supported value for --dev are:
panda
beagle
