This book will require you to have access to another computer other than your Banana Pi. You will need to download some specific software, such as the Phoenix card writer, to prepare the Android image. Furthermore, you will need access to putty to SSH into the Banana Pi on Windows.

Besides the aforementioned requirements, you will just need access to your favorite text editor, a keyboard, and some basic electrical components, such as the breadboard, resistors, and LEDs.
