I think that the big two here are ARM (for most applications Android will be used for) and x86 for netbooks, etc. The older ARM cores are still 32bit, but I can't see Android running on an ARM4 or ARM5 core - but I've not really got the experience to tell you there, its just my hunch from knowing what I know of those platforms.
Ooh, and I don't think it's possible to port Android to a 16bit MCU... the Linux kernel is inherently 32Bit. Even if you could, I'm not sure what the advantages would be as realistically it's only going to be 32bit platforms that are attractive. Ooh, and to add my personal experience to this, I can confirm that Android works nicely on the Asus EEE-7x series (x86)... and works well from a USB stick on that platform. Not tried it on a full PC. ~Dafydd On Jul 31, 10:41 pm, Elvis Dowson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I'd just like to start a thread to list all the platforms that > android has been ported to, so please feel free to reply to this > thread and add to the list. > > ARM7 core - TI OMAP 3503/3530 platform > x86 > > Has anyone done a port of android to a 16-bit microprocessor platform? > Possibly a Freescale or Samsung ARM core variant? > > Elvis Dowson --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
