Hello, I am using the 12.01 image of Android (landing_image.img) which I wrote to the SD using the Windows program. Win32DiskImager. The process works fine for the Ubuntu builds so I assume it should work fine for Android as well. When I boot and connect my TV to the HDMI port the port is active ( the TV sees it as active) but nothing is displayed and when I connect the TV to the DVI port the ANDROID logo is displayed but nothing else. I also tried to connect using SSH or TELNET but it would not allow me. Is there something I must do to get the Android GUI working, I looked for instructions to that effect but I found nothing. Any suggestions are welcomed, Napoleon Maou |

My first guess is that you didn't install the binary blobs required for our Android ICS builds. You can find the directions on this page: Specificall the "get the binaries" |

Hello, The instructions I follow are found in http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/leb-panda/ Where it says: Using pre-built image # Insert SD card and note the assigned '/dev/sdX' or '/dev/mmcblk0' $ dmesg $ SDCARD=/dev/sdX # sdcard found from dmesg above $ URL=http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/images/landing-panda/landing-panda.img.gz $ curl $URL | gunzip -c | sudo dd bs=64k of=$SDCARD Note: Windows users may use the Image Writer for WindowsI use the "Image Writer for Windows" to write the "landing-panda.img" file on the SD. I assume that I just write the image and it should work fine. You refer to the second part where it says how to create a costume image. Napoleon The part of installing the binaries is required for either approach. The instructions just weren't quite clear enough.

If you are getting stuck on the Android booting logo, then its most likely because you haven't installed the binary blobs. The pre-built images do not have these due to legal issues. You must install them from your host machine with steps like: Please confirm whether or not you've done this. |

Linaro doesn't have any official Windows support. However, the script is pretty simple and you should be able to take a look at it and do the equivalent from a command prompt on windows. The official google page with the actual links may or may not be helpful as well: The tarball you download from Google is a single self-extracting shell script. So you will need something like Cygwin installed to be able to run it. |

Hi maou, I have exactly the same problem as you but I have fixed it now. The only way to fix this is you have to follow this instruction: Get binaries$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/images/landing-panda/install-binaries.sh $ chmod a+x install-binaries.sh $ ./install-binaries.sh /dev/sdX2 "device node of system partition" No other way unfortunately. Remember: You have to start over again - I mean you need to start from a clean SDCard if the first try is unsuccessful. And remember to type "I AGREE" after read though a long list of license during the patching using the binary script. Once you done it then you are all good to go. Hope this help. Now, I can manage to have a display on my HDMI monitor and LCD display panel too. |
