== Building the Android OS for the Pandaboard (WE DO NOT USE THIS) ==
<ol>
<li>Initialize your [http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html build environment].</li>
<ul><li>Currently Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit is known to work. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is what Google recommends, though this is currently untested. 32-bit versions of Ubuntu are known to cause problems.</li></ul>
<li>Get the [http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html android OS source]</li>
<ul>
<li>Currently, you want to pull master</li>
<li>4.0.3 tag doesn't work, NOTE: This may change in the future</li>
<li>If repo stops pulling items down mid-way, just start it again. It is smart enough to pick up where it left off.</li>
</ul>
<li>Adjust the screen resolution in device/ti/panda/BoardConfig.mk</li>
<ul>
<li>BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=ttyO2,115200n8 mem=1G androidboot.console=ttyO2 omapdss.def_disp=dvi omapfb.mode=dvi:1600x1200MR-24@60</li>
<li>[http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootargs_for_enabling_display#How_to_read_and_set_EDID_timings_for_HDMI Reference] for other resolutions</li>
</ul>
<li>Download the [http://code.google.com/android/nexus/drivers.html#pandaiml74k GFX drivers for the pandaboard].</li>
<ul><li>Extract them to the root of your Android OS source tree.</li></ul>
<li>Follow the instructions at [http://quidecco.com/cgi-bin/cgi_ref_by_path/referer/http_3a_2f_2fwrla.ch_2fblog_2f2012_2f02_2fplaying-with-pandas_2f/url/http_3a_2f_2fsource-android.frandroid.com_2fdevice_2fti_2fpanda_2fREADME/ <androidsrc>/device/ti/panda/README] for instructions on how to build and flash your sdcard with the new build.</li>
<li>Setup dhcp on eth0 as mentioned in the readme (we might have to hack this for now as the mac addresses change):<code>adb shell dhcpcd eth0</code>
</ol>
It takes about 30-40 minutes to build on a reasonably fast machine (i7, 8Gb RAM). Currently this will produce a build of androidOS that will change its MAC address on each boot if configured with DHCP. This may be something we change by either applying a kernel patch, or by ensuring pandas always use static IPs. So the above instructions may be modified to accommodate that patch once we figure that out.

== Flashing Cards Remotely Without Removing From Panda ==
It should be possible to use the fastboot mechanism on the device to flash a replacement OS onto the board remotely. However, we haven't yet had time to work out those steps yet. We will update this section when we do.
== Easier Image Building ==
We should be able to use linaro-android-media-create to create our images:
* http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Android_Panda_Pre_Built#Building_a_Custom_Image
* https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/L-M-C
* More info on how images are laid out: http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Android_eMMC_Booting
