Hi Rajesh, Actually m using NEC imx31 board .
First port freescale imx31 linux-2.6.24 kernel into NEC imx31 board ------> (need some changes into freescale kernel for imx31 board) --->linux-2.6.25-android-1.0_r1.tar.gz Android kernel Source Code (Download Site---> http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list ) --->Freescale IMX31 specific patchs (Available for Linux-2.6.24 kernel) (Download Site---> http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX31PDK&fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab ) --->linux-2.6.25.tar.gz and linux-2.6.24.tar.gz Clean kernel Source Code (Download Site---> http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ ) PLZ use below step: (1) Download All the above kernel source code and patches from above mention sites. (2) Apply Freescale imx31 specific Patch into Linux-2.6.25 kernel source code (some thing applied by the automated mechanism and other are left for manual patching) (3) Get the proper tested imx31 kernel (linux-2.6.25 + freescale Patchs ) (4) Use the tool diff to create a patch from a clean linux-2.6.25 kernel source and the android specific linux-2.6.25-android-1.0_r1 kernel source. diff -Naur linux-2.6.25/ linux-2.6.25-android-0.9_r1/ --> android.patch (5) Remove all stuff from the android.patch file that will not need (goldfish related things, yaffs2 things because freescale kernel provides already yaffs2) (6) Apply android.patch into (linux-2.6.25 + freescale Patchs ) kernel Source Code (some thing applied by the automated mechanism and other are left for manual patching) OR (1) Download All the above kernel source code and patches from above mention sites. (2) Apply Freescale imx31 specific Patch into Linux-2.6.24 kernel source code. (3) Get the proper tested imx31 kernel (linux-2.6.24 + freescale Patchs ) (4) Use the tool diff to create a patch from a clean linux-2.6.25 kernel source and the android specific linux-2.6.25-android-1.0_r1 kernel source. diff -Naur linux-2.6.25/ linux-2.6.25-android-0.9_r1/ --> android.patch (5) Remove all stuff from the android.patch file that will not need (goldfish related things, yaffs2 things because freescale kernel provides already yaffs2) (6) Apply android.patch into (linux-2.6.24 + freescale Patchs ) kernel Source Code (some thing applied by the automated mechanism and other are left for manual patching) Best Regards, *Deepak Singal* On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 12:09 PM, Rajesh N <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Deepak, > > Thanks for u r kind reply, > > I am unable to get few statements which u have mentioned in 7 step > procedure to port Android on IMX31 board/ > > In step *3* u have mentioned "*my board specific changes*" and in step *4 > * u have mentioned a patch which should have got from step 3.
