Hello,
We (Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division) have updated our AOSP
port for PowerPC platforms from AOSP 1.6 Donut to AOSP 2.3.7 Gingerbread.
All source code is available on gitorious code site:
http://gitorious.org/ppcdroid/ . Related activities are tracked via
GoogleCode site: http://ppcdroid.googlecode.com/ .
Primary target hardware during the port was AMCC PPC460EX CPU
(Canyonlands board), however the port can be easily updated to any
603e-compatible CPU (hardware floating point is required).
Features implemented:
* bionic support of PowerPC architecture
* SDK/NDK generation (no emulator yet)
* DalvikVM fast interpreter (no JIT yet)
* PixelFlinger scanline JIT
* JSC (and no JSC-JIT) ECMAScript engine
Important points, before you try it:
* No support for SMP configurations
* No support for software floating point
* No support for Freescale e500v1/v2 CPUs
If you would like to support any of those configurations, you will need
to update DalvikVM opcodes implementation (or we can do it for you :)).
The port still have issues, and lots of directions for further improvements.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions on this port.
