Android on Am18x EVm/Hawkbaords

We don't have an official TI DevKit release for AM1808 / OMAP L 138. However, we have already added AM1808 support to Android repository on Rowboat GIT. We will provide detailed instructions on using these on AM1808 EVM by end of this week.

Can you please share the link for Android port on AM1808 please?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Khasim,

I have an AM1808 SOM module based board and I'm trying to port froyo on the that based on the instructions in the link above.

I see a kernel hang. Attaching the log here, I have ensured that the machine numbers match and enabled low level kernel debugging options. Any pointers here?

Uncompressing Linux.......................................................... done, booting the kernel.

Make sure that the bootargs for console=ttySx matches your board configuration. No messages from the kernel are seen in your bootlog.

Also make sure you put an initlogo.rle file in the root directory on the SD card you make for the android root fs. Mine would not get past init to the Android GUI without this.

If your kernel is hanging, check to make sure the mem=X setting in your uboot bootargs env var is set correctly. This will most definitely result in nothing after the decompress. its also likely that console=X is not set right... 

here is my bootargs setting

bootargs=init=/init console=ttyS2,115200n8 ip=off rw root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext3 rootwait mem=128M mpurate=450 androidboot.console=ttyS2

once up, enable network with

netcfg eth0 dhcp

Hi all,

this issue is solved. See the tread
