You can hack the android frameworks to not use HW GPU acceleration. However, in my experience only the basic UI is usable. You would probably not be able to play videos or run many AOSP or 3rd-party apps. Rowboat android does this for initial bring-up of the boards: See the following patches: http://gitorious.org/rowboat/frameworks-base/commit/c66571244de6de74018cf16defac0e92dd27afd2 http://gitorious.org/rowboat/hardware-libhardware/commit/605d2dec0cadb4c14dc45af9ff888240f88b6201 Good luck, Vishveshwar > > Thank you very much. > > Best Regards, > Edward > -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
