Bringing up a panda board is a bit different than a Tegra machine. With the pandas we will be building our own Android OS and we will be only doing that once in a while (when a new version is released). This page contains the information on how to build that image and flash a first image to a panda as well as how to re-use that image to flash additional pandas (w/o going through the build process).

Building the Android OS for the Pandaboard

  1. Initialize your build environment. I followed these instructions, but used Ubunutu 11.10, 64 bit OS build.
  2. Get the android OS source - currently, you want to pull tip (4.0.3 tag doesn't work, TBD: This may change in the future). If repo stops pulling items down mid-way, just start it again. It is smart enough to pick up where it left off.
  3. Download the GFX drivers for the pandaboard. Extract them to the root of your Android OS source tree.
  4. 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.
