h2. Get artifacts

Scroll down to the 'Downloads' section

Save linaro_android_build_cmds.sh to where you'd like to make your build.

h2. Run the build script

The linaro_android_build_cmds.sh script will download the source and create the build.

<pre>
  $ chmod +x linaro_android_build_cmds.sh
  $ ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh
</pre>

h2. Get linaro image tools

Run these commands to get all the dependencies for linaro-image-tools and the tip of linaro-image-tools

<pre>
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools
  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools
</pre>

  If you're using a released build (with a -release or from releases.linaro.org), skip this step.
  If you're using a "tip" build do not skip the step and do the following:

  $ sudo apt-get install bzr
  $ bzr branch lp:linaro-image-tools

h2. Create media (SD card)

Disable automount (instructions provided for Gnome)

<pre>
  $ TMP1=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount)
  $ TMP2=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open)
  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount false
  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open false
</pre>

Insert an SD card

Run 'dmesg'

pre. $ dmesg

Look for a line that looks like the following at the end of the log

pre. [288582.790722]  sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 sdc4 < sdc5 sdc6 >

*WARNING* In the next step, make sure you use /dev/"whatever you see above".
You can erase your hard drive with the wrong parameter.

Run linaro image tools

pre. $ linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev <BOARD> --boot out/target/product/<BOARD>/boot.tar.bz2 --system out/target/product/<BOARD>/system.tar.bz2 --userdata out/target/product/<BOARD>/userdata.tar.bz2

If you're using tip of linaro image tools

pre. $ ./linaro-image-tools/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev <BOARD> --boot out/target/product/<BOARD>/boot.tar.bz2 --system out/target/product/<BOARD>/system.tar.bz2 --userdata
out/target/product/<BOARD>/userdata.tar.bz2

Restore automount

<pre>
  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount $TMP1
  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open $TMP2
</pre>

Remove the SD card from the device writer and plug it into the board.

h2. Check console output

Plug in an USB-to-serial converter and run minicom

pre. $ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -w -C minicom.txt
