Android and Linux differ slightly but enough to force a developer to choose to write a driver either for Android or Linux. So, a useful contribution and an excellent learning process could be porting Android device drivers to Linux. -- Javier Martínez Canillas (+34) 682 39 81 69 Barcelona, Spain -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
