Hello there. Is there an Android image for the Beagleboard Rev C2, or is that older hardware not capable of running Android?

Thanks.

Mark.

Mark,

This pre-built image http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/TI_Android_DevKit/TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4_DevKit_2_1/exports/beagleboard-rev-c4.tar.gz should work.

Much thanks Amit. I spent yesterday building an acrylic box (horribly done) for the BB, today (right now) I’ll start with this.

(1) Downloaded and deflated the archive.
(2) Executed: sudo ./mkmmc-android.sh /dev/sdb MLO u-boot.bin uImage boot.scr rootfs.tar.bz2 Media_Clips
(3) Terminal returned: Incorrect MLO location!

Question: Is this message in relation to the destination? I looked in mkmmc-android.sh and the paths to MLO etc are correct. My destination is an 8 gig Micro SD formatted for DOS. Should I format the SD first as FAT 32?

Looking inside the script, this is the condition not met:
if ! [[ -e $2 ]]
then
echo “Incorrect MLO location!”
exit

But it (file structure) is correctly declared in $1:
$0 $1 Boot_Images/MLO Boot_Images/u-boot.bin Boot_Images/uImage Boot_Images/boot.scr Filesystem/rootfs* Media_Clips START_HERE

Any help would be appreciated.

Mark.

Ignore this. uery. I used option three: sudo ./mkmmc-android.sh /dev/sdb and things flowed smoothly.
