It works well for iMX53 11.12 final RC, except the DNS settings need to be done manually.

Is the ethernet interface meant to come up automatically? With Linaro 12.03 on Pandaboard it initially doesn't come up, but is okay after being enabled in the Android Settings gui (enabled ethernet, select eth0 and specify network settings)

I had to set up the network manually on iMX53 for build:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/imx53-ics-gcc47-freescalelt-stable-open-12.05-release/#build=2

I did this to get things working:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add default gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
setprop net.dns1 192.168.0.1
setprop net.dns2 8.8.8.8
ifconfig eth0

For iMX53, on build:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/imx53-ics-gcc47-freescalelt-stable-open-12.05-release/#build=2

It works well and what I need to do is only to select the eth0 from the interface list then I'm online.

Doesn't happen on panda JB. ICS is no longer supported. Closing.
