Running Android on pandaboard: This assumes that you have all the necessary proprietary binaries. When working with AOSP, download them from: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/drivers.html#panda The master branch in AOSP works with the latest version of those drivers. Unarchive each file at the root of your source tree (with tar zxvf), and execute the included shell script, still at the root of tour source tree. That will create a vendor tree that contains the necessary files. They can be unarchived and extracted in any order. For Googlers working in Google's full internal tree (i.e. with vendor/ti/proprietary and related projects) or in equivalent situations, this is done automatically.

Neither does fastboot erase userdata. They don't write a valid filesystem. Ethernet networking is initialized to use DHCP. The status bar will not show that there is an Ethernet connection established, but apps such as Browser will work. Everything camera-related crashes.
