Notes

Due to differences in default U-Boot environment, these instructions will not work if you have flashed the Igloo Community Android Gingerbread releases, please flash the latest Ubuntu image to get a compatible U-Boot.

You must setup the boot args:

  U8500 $ setenv loadbootscript fat load mmc 1:1 ${loadaddr} /boot.scr
  U8500 $ saveenv
  Saving Environment to EMMC...
  Writing to EMMC... done
  U8500 $ run bootcmd

ADB only works over IP

  stop adbd
  setprop service.adb.tcp.port 6565
  start adbd
  ifconfig eth0 # to get boardsIP

  adb connect boardsIP:6565
