Hi all, We are doing our masters project at IITD, our supervisor has asked us to consider getting the Andoid OS working on FPGA.
This project is very important for us as it has 18 credits out of total 61. So we want to be very sure that we would get this done. These are the questions we'll like to ask. Has someone already ported Android on FPGA? Is there a project people are working on with this as their aim? Android works on Linux with Java running on top of it. To get this to work we would first need Linux to work on FPGA with Graphics and also have Java running on top of it. How is this supposed to be done? Has it been done? If I download the Android OS and build on linux 32 bit. Will it work on x86 architecture (for testing purposes)? On the webpage http://source.android.com/download this line is written To build the Android files in a Mac OS environment, you need an Intel/ x86 machine. The Android build system and tools do not support the obsolete PowerPC architecture. Is the same statement valid even if build in ubuntu linux environment? How much time/effort you people think would be required? There are 2 people (Tapas and Ashish) doing the same project which will go on for about an year? Can we get some papers published for our work? Thanks and Regards, Tapas Kundu Ashish Srivastava --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
