Writing Android image on uSD

Hi there,

I have problem getting TI android image to uSD. I failed to do. Please help me as I am just starting with beaglebone black and Android.

I have downloaded TI_Android_JB_4.2.2_DevKit_4.1.1_beagleboneblack.tar.gz and extracted to a directory on Windows 7. And I could write them to uSD on Ubuntu.

The readme.txt states Command: sudo ./mkmmc-android <device> <MLO> <u-boot.img> <uImage> <uEnv.txt> <rootfs tar.bz2 > <Media_Clips> <START_HERE Location>
Example: sudo ./mkmmc-android /dev/sdc MLO u-boot.img uImage uEnv.txt rootfs.tar.bz2 Media_Clips

but I go no where with terminal opened on Ubuntu.  I typed $ sudo ,/mkmmc-android ... but failed.


Please guide me,

Noorul

    Hi Noorul,

    it seems that the mkmmc-android.sh script is there, but since I understand you copied it using windows, at some point the execution permission information may have been lost.
    Try doing the following command right before calling the script:

    $ chmod +x ./mkmmc-android.sh

    Hi,

    Thanks for the help. I eagerly tried and failed. What a disappointment. I am desperately want to try it on my touch cape. :(

    It throws "sudo: mkmmc-android.sh: command not found". I tried "chmod command". I even extracted archive file on Ubuntu. I couldn't enable the mkmmc-android.sh file permission to set as allow executing file as program. It unticked immediately after I ticked.

    I am on admin account.

    Hi Noorul,

    Could you please send us the output of the following command:

    $ ls -l mkmmc-android.sh

    The output should look like:

    -rwxr-xr-x 1 <user> <group> <size> <date> mkmmc-android.sh

    Make sure the 'x' appears like above which tells us the file is executable.

    Then, your last comment says the error is "sudo: mkmmc-android.sh: command not found" where the command should be ./mkmmc-android.sh. Please make sure to run the command as follows, the './' is very important as it provides the path to the script:

    $ sudo ./mkmmc-android.sh /dev/sdX

    X being the letter that defines your sdcard, you can look into the 'dmesg' output to know which one to use.

    Hi Noorul,

    Yes it does make sense that it says command not found as your script has no executable permissions.

    Please send us the output of the following command:

    $ sudo chmod 755 mkmmc-android.sh

    Hello,

    Here is what I did, I download a new copy on Ubuntu and able to execute the script. On the Terminal, after it finished, it stated done. I am very much ok with it.

    But I don't know what wrongs, when I supply power to BBB after inserted uSD, the power LED is on and all user led on altogether for few seconds and off. I have attached 4d cape and power and user led light keep on.

    I tried with pressing user button, the button near uSD yet no result. I start the board without uSD, it boot to Debian. I thought I have not executed mkmmc script and tried two more times and still getting the same result.

    Hi there,


    I am trying with Henderson's Android image, when booted, power led is on and user light is blicking on 4dcape. On board, user led 0 and 2 is blinking, The cape screen is all white. After waiting for long, I restarted without uSD and being booted to Debian.

    Hasn't Android image flashed MMC or has it just booted on uSD? I don't know how to set EEPROM on the cape.


    Please help,

    Thank u

    Hi Noorul,

    Right now everything is flashed to the microSD only.

    Regarding your other questions, please create a new thread specifically for the cape as this thread is only about flashing on microSD.
