New page

== Overview ==
The following outlines the procedure necessary to install Android on CM-QS600.

== Installation target media ==
CM-QS600 uses on-board eMMC as root file system medium.
{{Note|Additional media might be enabled in the coming releases.}}

== Installation onto eMMC ==
=== Preconditions ===
* CM-QS600 evaluation kit.
* PC workstation with installed [[Android: Fastboot setup | fastboot]] client software.
* Connect HDMI display to the CM-QS600 (optional).
* Connect [[CM-QS600: Android: Serial console connection | serial console]] to the CM-QS600 (optional).
* Connect USB cable between the CM-QS600 USB OTG (P7) jack and PC workstation, in order to enable [[Android: Fastboot setup | fastboot]] protocol.

=== Flashing Android image ===
* Download prebuilt [http://compulab.co.il/products/computer-on-modules/cm-qs600/#devres Android image].

* Decompress the file, in order to get Android partition images.


* Flash each partition image file to the eMMC with the aid of ''fastboot'' utility:
<pre>
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
$ fastboot flash cache cache.img
</pre>



* Proceed to boot, issuing
<pre>
$ fastboot reboot
</pre>

=== Boot ===
* Power on
* Within 3 seconds the device should start booting into Android.
: Within 60 seconds the HDMI display should start showing ''signs of life''.

== Post Install Procedure ==
* Upon first boot, proceed to '''Settings'''->'''Developer options''', check '''Stay awake ... while charging''' to prevent the device from going to suspended state.
{{Note|If '''Developer options''' item is hidden (as is the default in release build), re-introduce it proceeding to '''Settings'''->'''About tablet''' and clicking on '''Build number''' 7 times consequently.}}
