Android must be run from the eMMC. This can be written with the USB production tool, or from the SD card. To use the USB drive, follow the instructions here, and download the image and copy it to the USB drive as emmcimage.dd.bz2.

To load from the SD card, boot up to any Linux distribution from the SD card such as the default Yocto. Once booted here, run:

/distributions/android/android-7.1.1-tsimx6-tiwifi-\
