*Setup Android bootable linux kernel and userland for bc9 (gumstix) 1 [#g7008d42]

**Setting up gumstix build environment [#j866140a]
We use gumstix OpenEmbedded (OE) build system (bitbake).~
Bitbake is originally [[OpenEmbedded:http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Main_Page]] build environment and [[Gumstix,Inc.:http://www.gumstix.com/]] modified it for their own purposes.~

Before you proceed, please understand standard setting up procedure of gumstix.
-[[gumstix developer site - Getting started:http://www.gumstix.net/Software/cat/Getting-started/111.html]]
-[[gumstix developer site - Setting up a build environment:http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Getting-started/Setting-up-a-build-environment/111.html]]
-[[gumstix developer site - Replacing the file system image:http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Getting-started/Replacing-the-file-system-image/111.html]]

**Check out source [#za32c746]
 $ mkdir ~/gumstix 
 $ cd ~/gumstix 
 $ svn co https://gumstix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gumstix/trunk gumstix-oe

**Setting up Environment (shell) [#e6802aa8]
If you prefer setting up Environment via bash profile, do:
 $ cat gumstix-oe/extras/profile >> ~/.bashrc
If you prefer setting up Environment temporally, do:
 $ . ~/gumstix/gumstix-oe/extras/profile
or
 $ source  ~/gumstix/gumstix-oe/extras/profile

**Setting up source code caching [#j826ce54]
Gumstix OE downloads source code during build operation. ~
So in order to avoid repeating download of every build operation, you had better to set up source code caching directory.~
At first, add new group for cache management and add operating user to this group.
 $ sudo groupadd oe
 $ sudo usermod -a -G oe {your_username}
Next make source code storing directory and set owner and permission appropriately.
 $ sudo mkdir /usr/share/sources
 $ sudo chgrp oe /usr/share/sources
 $ sudo chmod 0775 /usr/share/sources
 $ sudo chmod ug+s /usr/share/sources

**Adjusting build contents [#s9b8e1a2]
Current default kernel version of gumstix verdex pro is 2.6.21.~
In contrast Android R1 kernel is version 2.6.25 kernel plus some Android unique drivers. ~
So we upgrade gumstix's kernel to version 2.6.24, which is less different to Android R1 2.6.25 kernel than 2.6.21.~
Then we made patch from diff of 2.6.24 gumstix kernel and 2.6.25 android kernel.

With following adjustments, this patch is automatically applied during build operation.~

This is modified touchscreen driver (tsc2003.c) for Android.~
Because of execution procedure of gumstix-kernel_2.6.24.bb, this file can't be included in diff-kernel-original-android.patch file.~
Download and replace original tsc2003.c with this file.~
Original tsc2003.c is in following directory: 
 ~gumstix/gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection/packages/linux/gumstix-kernel-2.6.24/
+~defconfig adjustment~
When you apply above patch and adjustments, you also require additional item in kernel config for Android drivers.~
&ref(defconfig);~
Download and recplace original gumstix's defconfig with this modified defconfig.~
Original defconfig is in following directory:
 ~gumstix/gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection/packages/linux/gumstix-kernel-2.6.24/gumstix-custom-verdex/

**building source code [#rf33984b]
After finish adjustments, proceed the build as follows:
 bitbake gumstix-basic-image
Bitbake downloads all source code and build ARM Cross Toolchain during the first build.~
When the build is finished, onboard FlashROM installable kernel image file and system image file are generated.~
 $ ls -1 ~/gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/gumstix-custom-verdex/
 Angstrom-gumstix-basic-image-glibc-ipk-2007.9-test-20090330-gumstix-custom-verdex.rootfs.jffs2
 gumstix-basic-image-gumstix-custom-verdex.jffs2 (simlink to above Angstrom....jffs2)
 modules-2.6.24-r1-gumstix-custom-verdex.tgz
 uImage-2.6.24-r1-gumstix-custom-verdex.bin
Additionally do following build:
 bitbake gumstix-directfb-image
System image file which include DirectFB library and commands are generated.
 Angstrom-gumstix-directfb-image-glibc-ipk-2007.9-test-20090330-gumstix-custom-verdex.rootfs.jffs2
 gumstix-directfb-image-gumstix-custom-verdex.jffs2 (simlink to above Angstrom...)
This system image file is convenient to check functions of framebuffer driver.~
By using DirectFB test applications such as df_dok or df_neo, you can check framebuffer driver drawing function before you boot Android.
