Android: Setup your device
v6 v7 1 1 To use the Android 2.2 port for A5IT, you need your device to use the multiroot facility from OpenAOS. This allow your device to boot any image from a shiny bootloader. 2 == download the needed files from the archos homepage == 3 * download the SDE firmware, rename the file firmware_archos5.aos to sde_archos5.aos to avoid confusion 4 * download the regular 1.9.xx Android firmware from archos 5 6 You now have one file named firmware_archos5.aos which is the original android os and one file named sde_archos5.aos which is the SDE containing anstrom. 2 7 3 8 == compile aos tools (instructions for Ubuntu 10.04) == … … 14 19 15 20 == unpack original firmware == 16 (note that the sde containing angstrom and the original android firmware both have the same file name, dont get confused)17 21 {{{ 18 22 aos-unpack /path/to/firmware_archos5.aos … … 28 32 == flash the SDE == 29 33 30 copy firmware_archos5.aos via usb the root of your device, after unmouning cleanly, execute the update via the archos file manager34 copy sde_archos5.aos via usb the root of your device, after unmouning cleanly, execute the update via the archos file manager. 31 35 32 == to be continued == 36 Angsrom will boot afterwards, it takes a long time.
