Hi All, I am new to linux driver development and also to android. I want to learn driver development which can work on android. For that i am planning (1) Develop simple linux driver (UART - polling mode) (2) Fit my linux UART driver in to Android (3) Develop Android Java application to access my UART driver
In order to start learning, i have - Pandaboard as a target board - Android ginger bread (L27.G.1) source code from repo - Linux 2.6.35 kernel source from repo But before starting, i have few doubts like (1) Linux kernel and Android source code are into complete different directory. and if i re-compile linux kernel after developing UART driver, it will create uImage in Linux kernel directory only. How Android will be aware to use my modified Linux kernel which has my UART driver ? (2) Are there any modifications required in Android to make my UART driver working with Android? (3) How many SW modules i need to develop in order to access my UART driver from android JAVA application ?
