Linaro team made a huge step forward towards an automated kernel and full Android builds. Below are these simple steps I did to get Android JB running on my Pandaboard ES with LG 10″ with touchscreen. Compare it to our old How-to: http:\/\/www.chalk-elec.com\/?p=1426<\/a> and feel the difference \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to http:\/\/releases.linaro.org\/12.10\/android\/leb-panda\/<\/a> and proceed with “Binary Image Installation” steps. Windows users can get file pandaboard.img.bz2<\/strong>, unzip it and write to SD card with Windows32DiskImager utility.\n<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Update boot.scr<\/strong> file in boot partition of SD card with correct LCD resolution (1280×800 for LG panel). Ready boot.scr<\/strong> file is here: boot.scr<\/a>\n<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. After step 2 you should get LCD working. You will see Android GUI and can use mouse. Adding touchscreen requires some kernel re-build.\n<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Download file linaro_kernel_build_cmds.sh<\/strong> to your Linux computer, change its attribute (+x) and run it. It will automatically download and re-build kernel for Android. Final kernel is located in .\/linaro-kernel\/out\/arch\/arm\/boot<\/strong> folder (file uImage<\/strong>)\n<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Now you should update kernel config to include touchscreen support and re-build kernel again. Find file .config<\/strong> in .\/linaro-kernel\/out<\/strong> folder and uncomment\/add options CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH=y<\/strong> and CONFIG_HID_NTRIG=y<\/strong> – first option is for old AUO panel, second is for new LG panel. You can add both just in case \ud83d\ude42\n<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Comment line “mkdir out\/modules_for_android” in script linaro_kernel_build_cmds.sh<\/strong> and run it again. Copy final uImage file to boot partition of your SD card. You can also skip these steps and get my final uImage here: uImage<\/a>\n<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. Last step is to configure touchscreen as an internal device to fit with LCD panel size. Download file Vendor_1b96_Product_0007.idc<\/a> and put it to folder \/usr\/idc<\/strong> on system<\/strong> partition of SD card.\n<\/li>\n

    \n<\/ol>\n

    \nFinal SD card image (4Gb card) is here: Android 4.1.2 for Pandaboard(ES)<\/a>
