Hi guys,
I am porting Android to AT91sam9261,however, I failed.
I share my porting process in here, and eager to obtain your
suggestions.
-------------------------------
My development environment:
* Fedora-9 full install
* arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (arm-2008q1)
* u-boot-1.3.4, and official bootstrap file (from www.linux4sam.org)
--------------------------------
My porting steps:
1. download android source codes linux-2.6.25-android-1.0_r1.tar.gz
from http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
2. download linux-2.6.25-at91 patch file from (
http://www.linux4sam.org/twiki/bin/view/Linux4SAM/LinuxKernel )
3. Compile the Android Kernel,
This step is successful and working on my at91sam9261ek.
4. Prepare Android file system, I got these information from Google.
Download the Android 1.0 SDK ( from
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.0_r2/index.html
)
and execute this emulator.
#./emulator&
set the [Menu] -> [Dev. Tools] -> [Develop Settings] ->
apply these functions : [Wait for debugger], [Show running process],
[Show screen updates]
Then, following the Benno's Blog - Busybox for android (
http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/14/android-busybox )
Operating on Fedora terminal, I successfully generated the android
file system based on Benno's blog.
5. Boot my at91sam9261ek with NFS after setting the u-boot env. and
downloading the kernel,
However, it's not working.
When I set the u-boot env. parameter "init=/init", the boot message
was shown that
========

done, booting the kernel.

When I set the u-boot env. parameter "init=/system/bin/sh", the boot

The shell is working. But I still don't know how to run the Android.
Has anybody got ideas for this porting tasks?
Please share your experience if you succeed in porting to
at91sam9261ek?
Many thanks.
