Hi Thank you very much for the reply. I think discussion is goting some wrong way. I am newbee in android poriting .
Actually i want to run android in my PCB. It has superH arch processor. I am sucsessfully compiled android source code for the superh arch. Also i have kernel which is sucessfully run in my PCB but android is not run yet. Now i want to porting android in my PCB. So i have used my own PCB kernel. After build source code sucssessfully, copy ramdisk.img file in my CF card and create folder structure using unzip ramdisk,img file. Copy userland in SD card (system and data). After this for run android, i try to run init file. But i can't get android boot logo. Please guide me on this topic. Should i have changes to kernel or any other code. I am trying to run init file for android starup. it is right way?
