Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a practical introduction on
evaluating Android 2.3 for the VAB-800/AMOS-800/ARTiGO A800.

VIA VAB-800 Pico-ITX board. This guide will use VAB-800 instead of AMOS-
800/ARTiGO A800 as an example, since the VAB-800 BSP is used on AMOS-
800/ARTiGO A800 system.
