hi all, I read about the efforts in porting Android on MIPS arch and have started looking at the source for a better understanding. And I've started thinking... At the moment, a lot of producers are using linux-based OS/kernel cause of its efficiency and open-source licence. It happens often that they use a JVM, but that's not open source, and so they have costs from it. So... I'm so wondering about the efforts to porting ONLY the dalvik VM instead of the Sun JVM to different architecture. It should be easier than porting all the android platform and also faster to realize...isn't it?
Do you think it's possible to port only the DVM to an arch different from x86 and ARM, with linux kernel and a JVM? -if yes, which steps should I follow? (I watched at Dalvik Porting Guide...so i've got a few ideas) -if no, what is the minimal configuration (DalvikVM, DVM +bionic, or DVM+bionic+something else) that should be ported? Thanks to all for every clue :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
