Enjoy!

Does this work with the imx53 qsb Start-R boards? I have been looking for a working version...

I have Gingerbread working on my machine with prebuilt images but would be nice to use ICS or even maybe Jelly Bean if anyone has that working yet...

Oh! If you're confused I'm not doing my job right :)

Here's a set of instructions that should work:

mkdir bin

export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH

curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > bin/repo

chmod a+x bin/repo

mkdir imx53_ics

cd imx53_ics

repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git -b linaro-android-11.12-release -m staging-iMX53.xml

repo sync

make TARGET_PRODUCT=iMX53 TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=./prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- -j8 systemtarball userdatatarball boottarball

bzr branch lp:linaro-image-tools

# insert SD card

I always get confused when donwloading source code from Linaro git tree.

At this moment, I'm syncing:

./repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git  -b linaro_android_4.0.1

following this page:

I hope it works
