Boot Android (TI-JB) on beaglebone black from SD card

I am trying to boot Android (TI-JB) on to a Beaglebone Black system.

I am referencing the TI Android JB-4.2.2

Hardware:

  • Beaglebond black Rev A5C with Angstrom loaded
  • 4D system resistive touch LCD cape (4DCAPE-43T)
  • 5V power supply
  • USB connected to Host PC (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)

Software

  • Beaglebone black has the stock Angstrom Linux
  • uSD card has JB 4.2.2, I have built the kernel

Connections

  • 5V power supply
  • mini-USB connected to Host PC (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)

On boot/power up I held the S2 (uSD boot) button and release the button.

I was expecting the system boot from the uSD card with Android.

I don’t see any of the USERx LED’s illuminated.

Do I need to make change to the display resolutions?

What am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions?

Attach few pictures of the hardware too

.

I have read the following post too.

I have ordered the Serial to USB cable will post the log when available

I don’t think this cape is supported in the TI kernel

You could try to see if you are able to connect to BBB using ADB. It works for me.
Wait 2-3 minutes after booting and then try and open the adb shell. You can refer to the TI user guide for configuring ADB.

On the 4DCAPE-43T this two jumper that need to be placed. When the both jumpers were connected the BBB started to work.

More information can be found here.

Thank you for you response.
