I found the page on source.android.com that explains how to install repo, download the source, and built android using the instructions. Following advice in this group, I then ran the emulator "ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=$HOME/mydroid/out/target/product/generic out/host/ linux-x86/bin/emulator -ramdisk ./out/target/product/generic/ ramdisk.img" The emulator ran fine -- just like it does in the sdk. I want to install android on a real development board. I understand that the first thing to do is get linux running. Out the box, linux runs on this board. However, the guides I've found on the internet suggest generating android specific patches through diff, and applying them to your working kernel -- this has not worked out well at all for me. It seems that since these guides were written, the android kernel has become a separate fork, and I'll have to back port my board setup and device drivers into this android fork, almost as if starting from scratch.
Do I understand the tasks correctly? Are there some current resources that can help me with this task? I'm having a very tough time finding current, relevant information. STFW has taken me on wild goose chases thus far. -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
