Hi, I also have some experiences on porting Android with a working kernel. Perhaps my suggestions can help.
As you have a working kernel 2.6.31, you would consider upgrading to 2.6.32 which Froyo (and also Gingerbread?) uses. If you can somehow find a site that still has the 2.6.32 Android kernel for download, you can do this. Sadly Google only has 2.6.39 kernel or 3.x version. If you managed to upgrade it to 2.6.39 this is fine. You may try to apply the Android patch to your kernel instead to see if it's working... The way I patch my kernel is to first diff my working kernel and the vanilla kernel (kernel.org) of the same release, then *manually* apply the patch to the vanilla kernel of the same release of the Android kernel I've found, then test it with the working rootfs. After that I diff the patched kernel with its vanilla one and apply it to the Android kernel. You can choose any version of the Android framework I think. Good luck, Alvin Wong On 2月14日, 下午3時26分, Manavendra Nath Manav <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All > > I want to port Android on Freescale iMX35 which is now running on > Linux 2.6.31.
