IIIInnnnttttrrrroooodddduuuuccccttttiiiioooonnnn The purpose of this document is to provide a practical introduction on developing software for the AMOS-820 on a Linux development host only.(Bare board: VAB-820 Freescale i.MX6 Quad). 1.1. Overview The VIA VAB-820 platform is an embedded system powered by ARM processor with Android 4.4.2 operating system by default. VAB-820’s Android BSP (Board Support Package) offers a development package. Users can develop it under an Ubuntu environment. There are four major boot components for Android, the ““““uuuu----bbbbooooooootttt....bbbbiiiinnnn””””,,,, ““““bbbbooooooootttt....iiiimmmmgggg””””,,,, ““““ssssyyyysssstttteeeemmmm....iiiimmmmgggg”””” and ““““rrrreeeeccccoooovvvveeeerrrryyyy....iiiimmmmgggg””””. The system will not boot successfully into an Android environment if one of these files does not exist in the boot media. 1.2. Package Content There are three folders in VAB-820 package.
