This section helps with flashing the software and instructions to boot the Android operating system.

You will need atleast a bootloader (u-boot.bin and MLO), kernel (uImage) and an Android file system to flash Android.

• For details on how to build your own binaries, check the "Getting Started" page in the main page.
• Alternatively, you can use pre-built binaries from "Using Prebuilt Binaries" at the main page to continue.

[edit] Flashing Android

There are several flashing methods such as to SD, NAND and NFS

[edit] Flashing to SD

Prior to proceeding with these steps, review how to setup and format a SD card under Omap Platform Support Tools. This will provide instructions on creating the two paritions needed to copy the files.

If you are using prebuilt binaries, copy the binaries (u-boot.bin, MLO and uImage) directly to the boot partition.

• Copying Bootloader (uboot.bin, MLO) and kernel to SD Card into boot partition

$ sudo cp -rf  /tmp/mmc1
$ sudo cp -rf  /tmp/mmc1
$ sudo cp -rf  /tmp/mmc1

If you are using prebuilt binaries, extract the filesystem archive directly to the boot partition and set permissions.

• Copying Android Filesystem to the SD card into the secondary partition

$ sudo cp –Rfp ~/myfs/* /tmp/mmc2
$ sudo chmod –R 777 /tmp/mmc2/*

• Once the Android Filesystem and the Bootloader are copied, remove and replace the card back into card reader and you should see two new media devices,

/media/boot and /media/disk

• Now remove the card from the card reader

$ sudo umount /media/boot
$ sudo umount /media/disk
