Android pre build image boot issue Beaglebone Black

Hi

I am trying to boot android pre built image from TI for beaglebone black, I used ubuntu 10.10 to setup sdcard using the script provided. I am not able to boot with that, I am seeing following behaviour.

After power on 1st 2 led will light up (no blink) then after few seconds they will go off, after that nothing will happen.

I am using sandisk 8GB sdhc class 4 memory card.

I used the same card to update the eMMC with latest armstrong by following the instructions and it worked fine.

    Sandeep,

    Can you connect serial cable and get llogs?

    Also try to hold switch S2 while connecting the power cable with MicroSD inserted.

    Regards,

    I'm not a professional, so it's just my guess: Your beaglebone acts normal. After power up, first two led should be lighted up and then they should go off. It takes a long time to boot Android first time. And I think your SD card is the main problem here. I use an SD card, which have 30mb/sn read speed. And it takes about a minute to boot up first time. Your class 4 SD card is too slow. Probably if you wait long enough Android would boot up. My suggestion is:

    1) Change your SD card. If you want performance you should buy a SDHC card which have min 30 mb/sn read speed.

    2) Power your Beaglebone via +5V DC. If you just power it up with USB, it will run at 300MHz.

    Like I said I'm an amateur. These are just suggestions.
