Hi Michael,
Can you email me the instructions for generating the
patches for android-2.6.29 using git format-patch command, and then
how to move move the files out of the drivers/staging/android location
and also including the ashmem implementation?
I am working on trying to port Android to the gumstix Overo Earth
platform with the Palo43 touchscreen.
For example, here's how I am doing it currently, but don't know how to
move files and include them in the kernel build:
Step 02.00: Download the android-2.6.29 kernel sources.
Adapted from instructions outlined in Get source (Android Open Source
Project).
Step 02.01: Create an empty directory to hold your working files:
$ mkdir android
$ cd android
We’re only interested in getting the Android Kernel sources, so type
the following command:
$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git kernel
Step 02.02: Check out the android-2.6.29 kernel files.
Run the following command to checkout the android-2.6.29 kernel files:
$ cd kernel
$ git checkout --track -b android-2.6.29 origin/android-2.6.29
Step 04.00: Make a set of patches between the linux-2.6.30-rc1 and
android-2.6.29 kernel sources.
To make a set of patches between the two kernel versions, type the
following command:
$ git format-patch v2.6.30-rc1
Best regards,
Elvis
