I'm working a custom board based on i.MX6Q. Now, I already have a working Androdified kerne. How do I prepare the Jelly Bean root file system? And how do I partition and copy over the RFS to the SD card?

Hello,Jiao,

     We provide MFG Tools to cusotmer for burning android images and linux images into SD card and Flash on board. Did you try to use it ?  As for android RF, you can refer to mx6 sabreSD board and create a new RF for cusotmer board. when you run "source build.....", the customized board can be included, then lunch it.

Regards,

Weidong

Last time I checked, the MFG Tools requires me to connect the board, so I assume it only works for Freescale reference board, am I wrong? What are the steps to use it to burn Android image to any SD card?

Can I lunch for sabreSD and then use the generated RF plus my own Android kernel? In case some modifications are needed, which file I need to look at? Hope you can provide some directions for me as I'm very to Android porting.

For this particular question: "What are the steps to use it to burn Android image to any SD card?" You can use the script ' fsl-sdcard-partition.sh' located on the source tarball. This way, you do not need the MFGtool, just a Linux host with the SD card.
