The android code from freescale does not mention QS board support, is ubuntu the only option for now?

For the release by the end of this quarter, I would like to know whether UVC camera will be supported in Android.

(i.e. The standard camera app in android can support the UVC camera)

 

In current release R4.0, I found that there is a file named "V4l2UVCCamera.h" but without .cpp implementation. Will this be implemented in the next release?

@Levente: we should have an updated release by the end of this quarter. It will be aligned with the latest release from Freescale.

Remi: I saw freescale release a 10.2.1 version with some performance enhancements, are you planning to rebase your build?

 

Also anyone saw the weird effect of saving 2-3 files at the same time from the browser at the same time and the SDcard crawls... I mean CPU iowait is 98% and the dl speed is 4-8kbyte/s on each files.

You probably need to add setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8 to /system/prop.build, or run it manually from the console every time you boot.

Hey Richard, so what value did you change finally to get it working?

Thanks you were right I am able to run the prebuilt image. Again thanks for the assistance

Probably you had a different image on the card before, the only thing missing from the adeneo scripts is the possibility to zero out the first 8-10 MBs of the SD card. try dd if=/dev/zero of=[your sd card] bs=1M count=10 and then transfer the image again it will fix it. BTW the problem I think lies in the the value, where it says 0x800 0x1800, you need to change that to 0x800 0x2000 and it will boot. it is realated to the size of the kernel being too big.

would FREESCALE provide a software like Advanced ToolKit for QUICK START BOARD?

This will be easy for your customers to make OS

Hi  looking for some help with the new Adeneo version 4.0.  I used the script flash_prebuilt_android.sh to create a Android SD card. the script ran fine but when I try to run it I get a kernel image error. I had been using the 3.3 version and was able to use the scripts and run the micro card just fine. Moved to Version 4.0 for mouse support. Anyway at the bottom I get a CRC error.  I am going to try building the images from scratch still I am curious why these images are not working

Hi Remi,

Still can not find QSB's Gingerbread release on Adeneo's web site

Do you confirm availability before end of the week?

Many thanks for your support!

Yes, it works with ubuntu even with a fresh ltib build, and from freescale the r10.1 android release as well, and adeneos package 3.3->android 2.2 as well. it is only freescales r10.2 that I have problems with. The uboot works compiled with: imx53_loco (ard won't even show up), kernel for some level works with imx53_ard, and with android I tried product-imx53_ard-eng/user, none seemed to show up.

Any good suggestions where to look for the problem?

have you tested your board with ubuntu? the 3.3 android should run fine on it, though mouse is dead.
