    Hi,

    Here are the instructions to download and build Android 4.0.3 (ICS) sources for TI816x and TI814x platforms. This not officially released. This is an Android base port only release with no multimedia h/w acceleration, will include integrated syslink, DSS drivers, etc.

     I hope this helps.


    Download sources:

      $ repo init -u repo init -u git://gitorious.org/rowboat/manifest.git -m rowboat-ics-ti81xx.xml
      $ repo sync

    Build:

    * MLO and u-boot:

        TI816x:
           
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- ti8168_evm_min_sd
            $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- ARCH=arm u-boot.ti
               
                   Above will generate a file u-boot.min.sd which needs to be renamed to MLO
           
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- ti8168_evm_config
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

        TI814x:
           
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- ti8148_evm_min_sd
            $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- ARCH=arm u-boot.ti
               
                   Above will generate a file u-boot.min.sd which needs to be renamed to MLO
           
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- ti8148_evm_config
            $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

    * Building Android, kernel, sgx, hdvpss and syslink components:

         TI914x:

            $ make TARGET_PRODUCT=ti814xevm OMAPES=6.x

    Hi Pankaj Bharadiya,

           Thanks for your response, I will download the source and starting working.

    Can we take Beagle-XM ICS source as a reference for porting. You have mentioned that it is with 2.6.37 kernel, but most of the ICS source for different platforms are with 3.0+ kernels,  so TI will give official release with 2.6.37 or 3.0+ kernel for ti816x.

    Thanks,

    Vamshi G.

    Hi Vamshi,

    Please download source code with rowboat-ics-ti81xx.xml. As of now we don't have 3.0 kernel for TI81xx platform and there are no plans yet to release DevKit for TI816x platform.

    Regards,

    Hi Pankaj,

          I have downloaded and built source on Ubuntu10.04 two weeks back.

    I have connected hdmi out to 1024x768 monitor, I could not see the android boot, from the logcat I could infer that there is issue with omapfb driver.

    Are there any modifications to rc.syslink in inserting modules. I am even getting "untracked pid"

    Hi,

    The Android ICS download sources only contain HDVPSS binary files.

    Where can we get the HDVPSS sourse code?

    Thank you.

    Hi Pankaj,

    I am also working on DM814x Evm. I have ported Android ICS on my board by following instructions which you given. I am successfully ported Android ICS but I am getting display in HDMI. Now I want to change HDMI to LCD panel of the board. Can you please tell me how to do that.
