Looking for full fledged document or video or tutorial or app notes.....

    Hi Hardik

    For build Android, like Jérôme said, refer to TI wiki.

    But, if you know how to build the Boot and Kernel image for a standard development board, the procedure for a custom board is same, but you may need to change or write code for some hardwares. For example, the Ethernet driver that used in X-board from TI, is KSZ8051, but you used DP83848 in your board. So you have to select DP83848 driver during Kernel compilation, if its available in kernel source; if not, you have to get a reliable driver and add it to kernel.

    It's a little nested and complex(for me), except for a software engineer .

    Portion is easy, just copy kernel image to SD, but I think the boot image must be copied to Flash memory.

    Good luck
