If you are using an external monitor (VGA, HDMI), make sure to configure the display 
when you boot or the board will appear to be stuck at the touchscreen calibration screen.

Flashing standard binaries built using the above build scripts

:

$ ./flash_android.sh /dev/sdX

Notes:

When using the provided build scripts all binaries are copied automatically to the “

out

” 

directory. This is the location that 

flash_android.sh

 uses for binaries.

This script will erase the existing U-Boot environment and restore the default boot 
configuration. Please edit the script and remove the corresponding section if you do not 
want this feature (the section is highlight in the script).

You need to build Android once in order to flash these images.

 

Flashing prebuilt binaries

 (prebuilt binaries are provided with this release - they can be 

found in the 

prebuilt

 directory):

$ ./flash_prebuilt_android.sh /dev/sdX

Flashing pr Inflexion UI demo binaries built using the above build scripts

:

$ ./flash_prebuilt_android.sh /dev/sdX --inflexion

These binaries add the Inflexion UI demo, which can replace the Android standard 
Launcher (hence the prompt when the board is booted or when the HOME button is 
used).

Note:

 The Inflexion UI demo will not work for all resolutions.

Booting the board

The Quick Start Board will boot from the Micro SD slot of your board. Insert the SD Card 
in that slot and turn on the board (the LEDs should turn blue and green).

If this is the first time you boot Android on your SD Card, the process will take more time 
than usual and prepare the user data files. The calibration will also appear the first time 
before launching Android.

 

If you need to interact with the console (bootloader, kernel or Android), you will need to 
connect a serial cable to the DB9 port of your Quick Start Board. 

Serial parameters

: 115200bps, 8n1, no flow control.

To access the bootloader, hit a key in the serial console when you see the following 
message: “

Hit any key to stop autoboot

”.
