Here too!  My last attempt at install was unsuccessful, and it's still
unclear whether it was due to SD partitioning or something else.

 

Look forward to seeing something.

It's only necessary for me because of the size of the SD card and, as I 
mentioned, using your parted command with the SD card that ships with the FR I 
get the same behaviour too.

it would be great, if possible, to have some hint on how to install it on a
sd card... imho it's more straight forward for testing (i guess people uses
the flash for main distro and sd for testing).

Nope, same behaviour with freerunner-cupcake-snapshot-v6.jffs2, following the

I've been experiencing just the same issue with this image, and trying the 
14.6 image is even worse, that white screens then reboots cyclically. :-(

This is with and SD card created as per:

 http://www.newlc.com/en/freerunner-mobile-which-support-android-cupcake

*apart* from the fact that parted tells me the 3rd partition is too large to 
be a FAT16 partition, so I've set it to be 256MB in size.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's related to the fact that it's a large SD card, 
so I'm going to try it with a much smaller one.

Re: [android] new cupcake image

2009-05-27 Thread undrwater

I followed the instructions, but didn't get any further.  I was using uboot
modified to allow kernels greater than 2mb, and I tried qi as well. 
Symptoms are the same.

I wonder if it's possible to pack this up the way Koolu has done?

Curiosities:
Why are we using parted as opposed to fdisk or other?  I had to install a
tool that wasn't already available on my system.

It might help me to understand the need for such a partition scheme for
Android.  Is there any way to access it while the animated splash is in
effect?

Thanks!

The resulting partitioning should look like unless you wouldn't be sure :

# sudo parted -s /dev/sdc print
Model: Generic STORAGE DEVICE (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 2033MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

 1  3584B  128MB   128MB   primary  fat16lba

 3  256MB  2033MB  1777MB  primary  fat16lba

Just tested this, but having a problem.  Kernel seems to boot OK, and the
"Android" splash comes up, but then seems to loop (animation starts, pauses,
then starts again).  

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the partitioning of the SD
card?  The wiki confused me because it instructs one to fdisk the card with
2 linux partitions (83), then format one with FAT and one with ext3.  I
fdisked the fat partition with vfat (0b) and formatted with vfat, could that
be the problem?
