Instructions for https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/<BUILD_NAME>/

= Get artifacts =

  Scroll down to the 'Downloads' section

  Click on each link to download:
    boot.tar.bz2
    system.tar.bz2
    userdata.tar.bz2

= Get linaro image tools =

  Run these commands to get all the dependencies for linaro-image-tools and the tip of linaro-image-tools

  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools
  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools

  If you're using a released build (with a -release or from releases.linaro.org), skip this step.
  If you're using a "tip" build do not skip the step and do the following:

  $ sudo apt-get install bzr
  $ bzr branch lp:linaro-image-tools

= Create media (SD card) =

  Disable automount (instructions provided for Gnome)

  $ TMP1=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount)
  $ TMP2=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open)
  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount false
  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open false

  Insert an SD card

  Run 'dmesg'

  $ dmesg

  Look for a line that looks like the following at the end of the log

  [288582.790722]  sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 sdc4 < sdc5 sdc6 >

  WARNING: In the next step, make sure you use /dev/"whatever you see above".
           You can erase your hard drive with the wrong parameter.

  Run linaro image tools

  $ linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev <BOARD> --boot boot.tar.bz2 --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2

  If you're using tip of linaro image tools

  $ ./linaro-image-tools/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc --dev <BOARD> --boot boot.tar.bz2 --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2

  To find <BOARD> run linaro-android-media-create with a -h and read the help.

  Restore automount

  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount $TMP1
  $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open $TMP2

  Remove the SD card from the device writer and plug it into the board.
