From about a week ago on the Pearson InformIT web site, Roger Ye published an article on using U-Boot with embedded Android, “Embedded Programming with Android: Using U-Boot to Boot the Goldfish Kernel“. The article mentions that this is a chapter from Roger’s book, “Embedded Programming with Android“, which is news to me. It appears the book came out in April.

In this chapter from Embedded Programming with Android: Bringing Up an Android System from Scratch, Roger Ye shows you how to build a goldfish Linux kernel and then how to boot Android from NOR flash and NAND flash using U-Boot and this kernel.

Once we have U-Boot ready for the goldfish platform, we can use it to boot the Linux kernel in the Android emulator. Ideally, the boot process starts from nonvolatile memory (such as flash memory). Many kind of storage devices can be used in an embedded system, though NOR and NAND flash devices are the most popular options. In this chapter, we will build a goldfish Linux kernel first. We then explore how to boot Android from NOR flash and NAND flash using U-Boot and this kernel. […]
