Gizmoman: /* Android on FLOW */ Froyo support

== Android on Overo ==
The rowboat-android project is focuses on creating a port of Android for the TI OMAP processors such as the OMAP3503 and OMAP3530 used on the Gumstix Overo boards. By following these instructions, it is possible to get a version of Android running on the Overo.
First, follow the instructions [http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/Source here] to download and setup the rowboat project. Use ''rowboat-froyo.xml'' as the manifest name.
The Android build system uses the repo tool to control a set of git repositories which, together can create an Android image; the repo tool is controlled with a manifest file.
Let's create our own addition to the manifest file to pick up the additional Overo-specific material. Create a file called ''local_manifest.xml'' in the ''.repo'' directory that looks like this:
<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="gumstix"
fetch="git://gitorious.org/android-for-overo"
review="" />

<project path="device/gumstix/overo"
name="device-gumstix-overo"
remote="gumstix"
revision="master" />
</manifest>
</code>

Follow up with a ''repo sync''.

To build a kernel, follow [http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/ConfigureAndBuild#Build_kernel these] steps; you can use ''overo_android_defconfig'' to configure the kernel. For the time being, you can get this file [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/211887/overo_android_defconfig here].

Finally, follow [http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/ConfigureAndBuild#Build_rootfs these] instructions to build a root file system using ''TARGET_PRODUCT=overo'' as the argument for make.

In order to create a bootable microSD, use a recent MLO and U-boot from [http://www.sakoman.com/feeds/omap3/glibc/images/overo/ gumstix], along with the generated root file system and kernel that you've just built.

In u-boot, I issue the following commands:
<code>
$ setenv andbootargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console} mpurate=${mpurate} androidboot.console=ttyS2 console=tty0 root=${mmcroot} rw init=/init rootwait vram=12M omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768MR-16@60 omapdss.def_disp=${defaultdisplay}'
$ setenv andbootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0 ${loadaddr} uImage; run andbootargs; bootm ${loadaddr}'
$ saveenv
</code>
To boot Android, just type ''run andbootcmd'' at the u-boot prompt. Single-quoted strings like those above are expanded when they are run which means variables in ''andbootargs'' such as ${defaultdisplay} will pick up the current setting of the environment variable. We expect the following values for these variables: ''console=ttyS2,115200n8'', ''mpurate=500'', ''mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw''; certainly these values can be set explictly in andbootargs instead.
If you are using a 4.3" LCD panel (Chestnut43, Palo43), use ''defaultdisplay=lcd43''; for a 3.5" LCD panel (Palo35), use ''defaultdisplay=lcd35''; for an external DVI monitor (Tobi, Summit), use ''defaultdisplay=dvi''. Even if you are using an LCD panel, it is not necessary to change the ''omapfb.mode'' as this just sets up the framebuffer in the case that an external DVI monitor is used.

Patches and improvements are most welcome---please send to ash (at) gumstix.com
