Hi Chris, Thanks for help. I will try your approach. I have one more doubt here: The ARM based virtual SoC named 'Goldfish' is just for emulator. Is this correct? I am somewhat confused here. I see android-2.6.29-goldfish kernel and android-2.6.35 kernel in Android repositories. android-2.6.29-goldfish has sources for Goldfish platform, whereas android-2.6.35 kernel doesnot have any support for Goldfish. Does this mean that android-2.6.29-goldfish can be run on both emulator as well as actual hardware(with vendor support sources) where as android-2.6.35(with vendor support sources) can be run only on real hardware but not on emulator(as it does not have any Goldfish support)? -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
