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
- Initialize your build environment. I followed these instructions, but used Ubunutu 11.10, 64 bit OS build.
- 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.
- Download the GFX drivers for the pandaboard. Extract them to the root of your Android OS source tree.
- 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.
