[android-porting] Re: Should external/* depend on bionic-specifics ?

2009-04-07 Thread Brian Swetland
[Sean McNeil seanmcne...@gmail.com] The whole idea is to minimize the changes to the code in external/* such that it has the possibility to be merged back to its source. Which is better a) use #ifdef __ARM_ARCH_4T__ (which is standard to many people and already in Androids compilation

[Dave david.bo...@gmail.com] On a factory reset, we wish to also reset the settings which are stored by our modem. Short of hacking the code in recovery.c to send some proprietary commands to the modem, is there a recommended way of handling this that stays true to the Android framework.

I think David is confusing the transport-over-IP feature which adbd on the device will fail back to if it can't open the usb device driver with the local adb control socket on the device which was disabled to avoid possible security issues (potentially giving untrusted apps debugging access to

The emulator only implements the goldfish platform. If you want to test a kernel that targets a specific SoC, you'd need an emulator that actually emulates that specific hardware or to test it on the actual board. Brian [Abhishek Jain abhi...@gmail.com] Hi all I have generated OMAP1710

The bootloader/legacy code is indeed not ready for prime time (and is, as you've noticed kinda complicated and messy). It was used to build a minimal bootloader used for some development on a MSM7201A develpment platform (Qualcomm's SURF board), and not in any production device. It was open

pmem is only needed for certain devices requiring large physically contiguous memory on the msm7k (gpu, dsp, etc). It's not currently used by any other SoCs and its absence is not a fatal error. libhgl.so is the (proprietary) library for openglES on the msm7k GPU. It also is not required for
