- Step 6
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
[edit] Flashing to NAND using Fastboot
For a quick and fast way to flash Android into NAND refer to Android Fastboot
