Get artifacts
Scroll down to the ‘Downloads’ section
Click on each link to download:
- boot.tar.bz2
- system.tar.bz2
- userdata.tar.bz2
Get linaro image tools
Run these commands to get all the dependencies for linaro-image-tools and the tip of linaro-image-tools
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools
If you’re using a released build (with a -release or from releases.linaro.org), skip this step.
If you’re using a “tip” build do not skip the step and do the following:
$ sudo apt-get install bzr $ bzr branch lp:linaro-image-tools
Create media (SD card)
Disable automount (instructions provided for Gnome)
$ TMP1=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount) $ TMP2=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open) $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount false $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open false
Insert an SD card
Run ‘dmesg’
$ dmesg
Look for a line that looks like the following at the end of the log
[288582.790722] sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 sdc4 < sdc5 sdc6 >
WARNING In the next step, make sure you use /dev/“whatever you see above”.
You can erase your hard drive with the wrong parameter.
Run linaro image tools
$ linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev vexpress --boot boot.tar.bz2 --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2
If you’re using tip of linaro image tools
$ ./linaro-image-tools/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev vexpress --boot boot.tar.bz2 --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2
Restore automount
$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount $TMP1 $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open $TMP2
Remove the SD card from the device writer and plug it into the board.
Check console output
Plug in an USB-to-serial converter and run minicom
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 38400 -w -C minicom.txt OR minicom -D /dev/ttyS0 -w -C minicom.txt

Scroll down to the ‘Downloads’ section
Save linaro_android_build_cmds.sh to where you’d like to make your build.
Run the build script
The linaro_android_build_cmds.sh script will download the source and create the build.
$ chmod +x linaro_android_build_cmds.sh $ ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -h #To print the script usage
Most commonly used build options:
$ ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -t #To build from the tip of the branch without overlay $ ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -t -o <overlay> #To build from the tip of the branch with provided overlay $ ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -m <pinned_manifest> -o <overlay> #To reproduce an exact build from pinned manifest $ ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -t -l <login-id> #Provide login/access ID to clone and build code from linaro-private repositories
