Hi,

Is there any update on issue? Any possible date for fix?
Or is there any alternative way to make pandaboard work with graphics using
AOSP?

Thanks and Regards,

I haven't checked it ..... seems like  a AOSP based Linaro might do the

From what I've learned over the last few weeks, "experimental support for
PandaBoard" usually means "it won't work": there is no AOSP branch or tag
where PandaBoard not only builds but also works as a platform. If you are
lucky, you can get a fully working PandaBoard build from "master".

If you spot one of these rare beasties, *please* do a repo manifest
snapshot and provide that manifest for download.

NB: Google are not paid for PandaBoard support, so it is amazing that *
building* works as reliably as it does.

As far as I understand, another part of the problem is that the PandaBoard
at its core has an OMAP4430, and the graphics library is not open-source.
Luckily for us all Imagine Technologies provides precompiled shared
objects, but these also need to be in sync with the open-source interface
part used by the applications. Not easy!

If you have the knowledge, incentive, and time to actually debug the issues
yourself, fix the issues, then submit the patches back to AOSP and
(hopefully quickly) get some people to review and _tag_ them on the AOSP
repo.

In short, "get involved and help".  :-)

For my purposes, I was lucky and found another post with a download link
for a PandaBoard manifest that at least allowed me to run several Dalvik
VMs and get a shell, and this was all I needed (at the time).

NB: The Google folks are doing some amazing work with AOSP, and without
their openness we would have much less than we do - a thoroughly reliable
build, continuous improvement, and a chance of getting a working platform.
With the complexity of embedded development you can't expect them to really
care for a platform that is not in the focus of their own core interests.
The workload is already too high, so if you want something, you have to
help.

You can capture the state of your repository and produce a manifest file
with SHA-1s that others can sync against:

repo manifest -r -o my-working-source.xml

Yay - first time I got video from an ICS build on PandaBoard!
Many thanks!!!

- - -

[Bonus advice for others trying to get PandaBoard/ICS up and running with
the ics-plus-aosp branch.]

For PandaBoard, device/ti/panda/README is relevant, but there are a few
stumbling blocks to avoid:

   1. When you download the "proprietary binaries",
   use "PandaBoard binaries for Android 4.0.4 (IMM76I to IMM76L)"
   2. In device/ti/panda/README, sections "Initial setup, part 1" and
   "Build and flash, part 1":
   use "lunch full_panda-userdebug" or "lunch full_panda-eng" (not two
   underscores)
   3. Post-boot setup: "adb shell date $(date +%s)" will set the date on
   PandaBoard in UTC.
   "adb shell date -s $(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S)" will set it to your local
   timezone.
   If you want to do the "date -s YYYYMMSS.hhmmss" manually (or with a
   terminal script) on a PandaBoard console terminal, don't forget to first
   obtain root rights with "su" - by default the console user is restricted.
   4. For me, after making an SD card with fastboot, ICS on PandaBoard
   reported
       EXT4-FS (mmcblk0p6): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
   and later stops with an
       SysRq : Emergency Remount R/O
   This is an indication that "fastboot erase cache" did not create a valid
   ext4 file system.
   You can easily fix this by manually formatting the SD card 'cache'
   partition as ext4.
   On my Ubuntu 10.04LTS development box, an external SDHC reader works
   well together with the "Disk Utility" (palimpsest) from the "System" >
   "Administration" menu. This also displays the efi partition labels, which
   is handy to make sure you really ext4-format the correct partition.
   5. Enjoy! :-)

bootloader.bin identifies itself as 'U-Boot 1.1.4-gedeced79 (Feb  6 2012 -

Any pointer where to find this exact git revision (gedeced79)? Thanks!

If this is similar to the kernel markers, gedeced79 means "Git commit

Many thanks for pointing out the 'g' is not part of the revision!  ('g' is
not even a hex digit... i did not spot the clue... argh!)

Hmm... still no luck. "git show edeced79' returned with an error message
(ambiguous or not found).
Is there a special search incantation, or is this likely a "private
commit"? [Or is it still in review? ;-)]

"u-boot commit edeced79 seen anywhere, dead or alive? Please report!"  :-)

Yes. I just checked, and with a current "master" build for full_panda-eng
the kernel hangs (ES2.1).

("repo manifest -r " also throws errors, so I can't even upload a snapshot
manifest. Tsk.)

For me (ES EB3), the kernel boots, but the graphics system fails to
initialize, in a way that looks like an incompatibility between
userland and the kernel.

I'm pretty sure that it was working when I prepared those files, but
that was weeks ago.

Do things still working when going back to the previous kernel and
graphics libraries?

Subject: Re: [android-building] Re: State of PandaBoard

Which previous kernel are you using?  We have built Android with prebuilt
kernel, works fine, but now we use the kernel from the kernel build page
and it doesn't work.  A linaro 2.6.35 will allow me to build but gets hung
up after booting kernel. So does a 3.4. Please help.  We would like to
build android with kernel source rather than prebuilt and get it running on
pandaboard, so that we can include custom hardware/firmware files but we've
had no luck finding a kernel compatible with android.  We are willing to
revert to previous android build if necessary.
Thanks,
BT
