Coming Back to Pandaland

Today I was able to install and run a dhcp server in order to give the panda an ip address. It was really a pain in the a$$ for me, I will try to post a guide on how I did it later. Next steps would be to use nfs server to be able to get rid of the "sometimes-painful" SD card and upload the kernel and modules faster.

In the coming weeks I will be working with kernel 39 requesting kernel resources (i2c, gpios, sdma channels, among others) using a driver.

Happy panding, and I really hope to be able to post more frequently.

Panda is booting Android!

Now I have Pandroid up and running I still need to see if this will work with my HDMI monitor, I am really hopping this is the case. Anyway I can work from home now using my panda and continue with my little driver experiment. Let see what I can do next ...

Next step Android GUI using HDMI.

Happy Panding!

Android not booting

Android is not booting in the pandaboard. I don't want to download some prebuilt binaries I want to do all by my self.

In the meantime I was able to test HDMI in the minimal-FS, well at least my monitor is showing the two penguins!

The pending task remains the same: Pandroid!

Happy panding...

Panda is working

So far so good, I am able to boot the panda with a minimal filesystem. I will definitely recommend the following link that gives you everything you need for starting with Panda.
