I have successfully loaded TI-Android pre-built image on a BBB which was downloaded from here. Everything works well on the device. I have been trying to enable adb without much luck. Basic HW and SW is as follows **Hardware** - Beaglebone black. - 4DCAPE-43T. - 5V power supply. - mini usb connection to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS host system. **Software** - TI-Android JB **pre-built** image (TI_Android_JB_4.2.2_DevKit_4.1.1_beagleboneblack.tar.gz). - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS host system. On the BBB I have turned on USB debugging by App Launcher" -> "Settings" -> "Developer options" On the Host side lsusb output is Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

What I am doing wrong? Also I plug the mini-usb to the host machine. Is this correct? Or do I have connect to the serial debugging port. Thanks

I'm trying to mount USB storage using the "Terminal Emulator" app with the following commands: mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/sd* /storage/usb1 or su mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/sd* /storage/usb1 But I get a permission denied message. I've tried different su binaries. One of them is: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/android/f/509/t/279726.aspx The shell command which I'm using is working in adb, but I have to execute it within an app. Without permissions, I cannot do that. So: 1. Is it possible to root this Android image (I'm using TI release for Beaglebone Black)? 2. OR, can I give permissions using chmod? If I can, which files should I give permission? 3. OR, is my approach wrong?

I need some help for problem. I'm using Beaglebone Black and Android (JellyBean 4.2.2) with 3.8 kernel. BBB connected to window7 through USB which comes with BBB. When I boot the android on micro SD card, it works fine(I'm using 4DCAPE LCD screen) but I cannot find it as running android device. I turn on the USB debug mode. Thanks.

I'm working on a project which we use a Beaglebone Black that runs on Android. We need to use USB storages for data transfer. When I plug in a USB storage to Beaglebone it works well. But if I remove it (without going to settings and clicking unmount USB device) 'unsafely' and re-plug it, Android doesn't mount USB storage. It creates its folder in /dev/block/sd* but doesn't mount it to /storage/usb1 . So I tried to use dmesg command to findout what the problem is. And I think I find the source of the problem. dmesg says: init: no such service 'usb_modeswitch' I think my Android distribution doesn't have usb_modeswitch binary and because of that it can't re-mount USB storage. I searched the web and find this site . But I'm not a Linux guy and I was unable to create a binary for my Android. I think if I can create a binary and copy it to /system/xbin/ folder in my Beaglebone, It might work. But of course I might be terribly wrong :D If you can give me step - by - step instructions to create a usb_modeswitch binary, I'd be grateful.

I have a Beaglebone Black which runs Android. It has a 1GHz CPU. Bu when I read it's clock speed from adb I got 300MHz. I'm using following commands: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq All of them returns 300000. I'm using Android image from Texas Instruments. Is tehere a problem? Is my Beaglebone Black running on 300MHz or is it just a system error? I try couple of apps to learn my CPU speed. All of them says 300MHz. But i think they are reading those files too.
