Hi,
Good afternoon from Tokyo.
I am working with Pandaboard and looking for android-5(Lollipop) for Pandaboard. By googling I got that, Pandaboard android support is provided by Linaro. But there is not any android-5(Lollipop) release available for Pandaboard in Linaro site.
So, could you please let me know 1) When Linaro will provide android-5(Lolipop) release for Pandaboard. 2) Is there any plan to stop supporting for Pandaboard. 3) What is the highest priority board for Linaro to provide latest release of Android.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards, Imran
Imran,
Great question. I too would like to see more work done on Panda. Unfortunately many have said it is a "dead" board as far as new development. I purchased my board maybe a year (or more?) ago and I have yet to find any build functional enough to use. Although I see youtube videos of people running android very smoothly with everything working, but they could be fake. Ubuntu 12.04-12.10 runs pretty good, but any update appears to break it. And I want android on there for a car based project.
At this point I, to me the board is trash :( I will likely be getting an Arndale or o-droid board for my car project.
I do some light coding here and there, so I have much respect for these platform developers. Like I said something that works, and android 5 would be awesome.
:)

I guess I find that kind of odd! Linaro certainly in the past has published many a build with working panda support. I've had 2 panda and 1 panda es board and they certainly were running Linaro releases over the years.
You might want to look into older releases on http://releases.linaro.org
I personally like the odroid boards, I've got an xu that I used to use quite a bit. No idea if they'd make a good starting point for a car project tho.
Stay tuned ;-)

Hi,
Here is my observation on Linaro android builds for pandboard.
Last week, I have flashed a Android JB build(unfortunately forgot the build number) on pandaboard. I found that the screen shows Android Logo and the the booting process never completed.
Anyway thanks for the responses.
From the above discussion we can say that, Linaro will not officially
provide any support for pandaboard. So could please suggest me, which board will be better to buy for mobile platform development that already/will have Android-5 support. As I know Juno might be used for this purpose, but it is little bit costly isn't it?
Best Regards, Imran

Hi Imran
Officially, Linaro mobile group isn't supporting the panda board these days. The original panda board was released a little over 4 years ago. It's had a great run.
For the 14.12 Linaro Confectionery (based on Android L 5.0.1), our supported hardware list is pretty short, Juno, TC2 and FVP. Our supported hardware list certainly evolves. Stay tuned. :-)
Really tho, these are the 3 configurations we're putting through formal validation. Obviously other hardware configurations should work and it's certainly possible that someone might have even tried it for Panda. I'm just not aware of it off hand.
