Installing Android on the Development Board

First, the installation of serial debugging tools

Developing Linux drivers cannot be developed directly in Eclipse, like developing Android applications, but can be communicated through the serial port. So we need to install serial debugging tools, here we use the Serial debugging tool is minicom.

1, first detect whether the current system supports USB to the serial port, because many notebooks do not support the direct use of the serial line;

2, installation minicom Apt-get install minicom

3, Configuration minicom minicom-s

4, the final Test minicom minicom after executing this command minicom will enter the waiting to accept the data state. If the USB to serial cable is connected properly and the Development Board is opened, Minicom will receive information from the Development Board.

Second, burn write Android system

1. Connect the Development Board and PC with the serial cable, then start the minicom

2, enter the Eboot state: Open the Development Board power switch, the waiting message after the press space, so that the development Board stay in the Eboot state

3. Erase Nandflash

4. Insert the SD card into the card reader and connect the PC

5. Write Mmc.bin and Zimage-sd.bin to SD card

6. Copy the Android_fs.tar, Mmc.bin, and zimage files to the SD card. Then move the PIN4 on the Development Board battery to the PING8 to the right. After the completion of the burn write, Ping6 and Ping7 to the left. Close the Development board before you toggle it.

7. Start burning Android from SD card, insert SD card into Development Board, open Development Board. So the development Board will start burning from SD card to write Android.

After you finish writing the startup data, the series will be detected and the # prompt will appear. After entering the. yjsx command, start copying data from the SD card. And so forth "great!!! All jobs are over "information that successfully burned Android onto the development Board.

8. Final Calibration Screen

Third, configure the wired network

1, set the development Board Ip:ifconfig eth0 192.168.17.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Route add default GW 192.168.17.254 dev eth0

2. Query the configuration and routing table of the current IP of the Development Board after successful setup

/system/busybox/sbin/ifconfig

/system/busybox/sbin/route
