How to make ICS self bootable SD Card for Pandaboard

If you want to build ICS for Pandaboard, You must use master branch.
I used AOSP local mirror.

~/panda$ mkdir ics
~/panda$ cd ics/
~/panda/ics$ repo init -u /home/kinneko/AOSP/platform/manifest.git
~/panda/ics$ repo sync

Ordinary, you can use AOSP directry, like this.

~/panda/ics$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest.git 

And add binary video drivers.

~/panda/ics$ wget https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/imgtec-panda-itl41d-dfebf249.tgz
~/panda/ics$ tar zxf imgtec-panda-itl41d-dfebf249.tgz
~/panda/ics$ ./extract-imgtec-panda.sh 

Read license, and type "I ACCEPT".

Delete disused files.

~/panda/ics$ rm imgtec-panda-itl41d-dfebf249.tgz extract-imgtec-panda.sh 

Build ICS.

~/panda/ics$ source build/envsetup.sh
including device/samsung/maguro/vendorsetup.sh
including device/samsung/tuna/vendorsetup.sh
including device/ti/panda/vendorsetup.sh
including sdk/bash_completion/adb.bash
