Re: [Gumstix-users] rowboat-android on overo

Hello Ash,
It took me a while to find this mailing list.  This happens to be my first
android build so I wasn't too shocked to be running into so many
issues.Here's my problem. I also followed this guide in porting android to
overo:

http://www.gumstix.net/wiki/index.php?title=RowboatAndroid
While I have built and copied all the files to the micro-sd card, I stumbled
upon this error during boot-up:

Waiting for root device /dev/sdb2...
mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming write-enable.
mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SU08G 7.40 GiB 
 mmcblk0: p1 p2
mmc1: new SDIO card at address 0001
libertas_sdio mmc1:0001:1: firmware: requesting sd8686_helper.bin
libertas: can't load helper firmware
libertas: failed to load helper firmware
libertas_sdio: probe of mmc1:0001:1 failed with error -2

Now there was no mention in the guide about WIFI issues, I assumed it was
nothing to worry about but after waiting for 20 minutes, android bootup did
not progress any further so I was forced to post on here. It appears to be a
normal problem.
- Is there a manual way to copy the libertas files required for wifi to
work? Where do I get these files (they were nowhere to be found in the
rowboat-android folder) What folder should I place these files in? I have
read some posts about rebuilding the kernel with the files included. How is
this done?
-How can I boot android without necessarily loading these files? Googling
seems to suggest that android can run on the Overo fire without WIFI working
but the initial bootup seems to require these files being loaded.

Thanks so much.
