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
 

The next time the board will boot automatically.


• ADB only works over IP

In the console type:


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

On the host type:


  adb connect boardsIP:6565
