Hi,
We have got success in bringing up Android sdk version 0.9 on OMAP2EVM
as well as OMAP3EVM. This has been achieved in two ways.
1. Generated the Android patch for 2.6.25 kernel out of the android GIT tree
and then applied this on the 2.6.26 kernel for OMAP2EVM/OMAP3EVM from
montavista GIT.
2. Cloned the 2.6.25 kernel from Android GIT and ported the necessary
drivers (for OMAP2EVM) from 2.6.22 to 2.6.25
Having gone both methods, I guess it would be good idea to attempt the
former way.
Warm Regards,
Anil
