+= Android Development On ORBIT =
+
+== 1. Setup computer ==
+
+The ssh connection will use [http://help.unc.edu/830 X11 forwarding] to display programs on your computer that are running on a remote serve (in this case, an ORBIT node.)
+
+If you are using Linux, ssh and the X window manager are included, so you can skip this section.
+
+If you are using Windows, install [http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/6.9.0.31/ Xming] and download [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html PuTTY].
+
+== 2. Reserve timeslot ==
+
+Go to the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/schedule/ scheduler] and reserve a timeslot
+
+== 3. SSH to console ==
+
+If you are using Linux, connect using ssh with the X11 forwarding flag
+{{{
+ssh -X [username]@console.[grid].orbit-lab.org
+}}}
+
+If you are using Windows, first start the Xming window system.
+Open PuTTY and turn on X11 Forwarding in Connection > SSH > X11
+Now connect to console.[grid].orbit-lab.org through PuTTY.
+
+== 4. Load android image ==
+
+Now you need to load the android development image on a node to work on. You can use 
+{{{
+omf stat
+}}}
+to see which nodes are available. To turn a node on or off, use
+{{{
+omf tell command [x,y]
+}}}
+where command is on, offh (hard power), or offs (soft power) and [x,y] is the node.
+
+Choose a node to image, preferably a quad core node that can handle Eclipse remotely, and load android2.ndz onto it.
+{{{
+omf load [x,y] android2.ndz
+}}}
+where [x,y] is the node.
+
+It will take several minutes, and omf will turn the node off when it is complete.
+
+Turn the node back on and ssh into it with X11 forwarding
+{{{
+ssh -X root@nodex-y
+}}}
+Now you are in the android development image!
+
+== 5. Start Working ==
+
+You can start eclipse from the command line using
+{{{
+eclipse &
+}}}
+A new Eclipse window that is running on the node should be on your screen!
+
+The & lets you continue to use the same terminal for more commands. Otherwise you would have to close Eclipse to do anything else.
+The image has Java 6, Eclipse, Android SDK, and an ARM cross-compiler.
