Installation onto eMMC
Preconditions
- CM-QS600 evaluation kit.
- PC workstation with installed fastboot client software.
- Connect HDMI display to the CM-QS600 (optional).
- Connect serial console to the CM-QS600 (optional).
- Connect USB cable between the CM-QS600 USB OTG (P7) jack and PC workstation, in order to enable fastboot protocol.
- Connect RTC battery to P15.
Flashing Android image
- Download prebuilt Android image.
- Decompress the file, in order to get Android partition images.
- Enter fastboot mode following either of the options:
- There is no valid boot partition (which is how CM-QS600 comes out of the box).
- In this case, the device will enter fastboot mode upon power on.
- There is a valid boot partition (i.e. CM-QS600 was pre-installed with OS).
- In this case, the device will boot from it.
- Reboot to bootloader by issuing on either workstation
$ adb reboot bootloader
- or Android device itself
# reboot bootloader
- Flash each partition image file to the eMMC with the aid of fastboot utility:
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img $ fastboot flash system system.img $ fastboot flash cache cache.img $ fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
- Proceed to boot, issuing
$ fastboot reboot
Boot
- Power on
- Within 3 seconds the device should start booting into Android.
- Within 60 seconds the HDMI display should start showing signs of life.
