How can I get Andorid ICS 4.0.3 installed with BeadaFrame

Post by esky-sh » Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:13 am

I have got the prebuild ICS images from the website and have put them on
my SD card. The android system boots fine and I can access it through
the ADB interface.

However I get nothing on the screen. Can you confirm that I have put the
correct images on my SD card and that I have taken the correct steps to
get the beadaframe working with the beaglebone.

Please follow the TI instructions for installation:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php ... ilt_Images
Note: you need to select AM335x-EVM root filesystem tarball instead of beaglebone root filesysystem.

And then you need to replace kernel image from our FTP
BBone20120721/images/android/uImage
You need *NOT* replace bootloader images if you prefer UART0 as your default console.

For further questions/supports. Please logon our forum www.esky-sh.com/bbs to post your detailed issue with logs.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I had followed the steps listed bellow however I get the following error (this is through minicom):

Could you advise me how to continue. I am happy to post this in the forum if you could let me know where to post? Should I just start a new thread?

please follow this instructions if your nand flash on NBD02 board is not empty.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php ... ng_Android

BTW, you can use nand erase chip command under uboot console, if you do not want boot from nand.

I don't have problem connect to it using TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4 prebuild images. Do I have to config other thing to make the usb serial connection works?
There should be at least 3 files on your SD boot section?
MLO, u-boot and uImage.
Please keep MLO and u-boot on TI pre-built images, if you use UART0(USB2Serial) port as your serial console.
