I thought I'd post some tips on compiling the Android kernel on OSX
for others to use:
• Two ways to get the kernel configuration file (.config)
1) Download it from the phone directly
adb pull /proc/config.gz .
2) Use the config file from the source tree
kernel/arch/arm/configs/gta02_XXXXX_defconfig (XXXX because there a
couple options which are self-explanatory)
• U-Boot and Qi would only boot a uImage (This could change with
upcoming release of Qi to include zImages: http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td2131710)
• The version of mkimage from the Qi repository doesn't work for OSX,
instead you can grab it from OpenWrt which has a patch to support OSX (https://dev.openwrt.org/
) it is under tools/mkimage
• Then the following should work
• make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-elf- ARCH=arm uImage
