ISEE team has prepared a How to get Android distribution on IGEPv2 devices. This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn build and run Android images for IGEP v2 devices as quickly and easily as possible. Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications, that uses a modified version of the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google, and lately by the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries. Rowboat project provides Android on OMAP35xx platforms and enables key OMAP35xx hardware features (ARM plus NEON, DSP, 2D/3D Accelerated Graphics and others). Key differentiators among many others:
This How-To works with the Ubuntu 8.04 IGEP v2.0 SDK Virtual Machine but most of the contents are valid also for other GNU/Linux distributions. We do not issue any guarantee that this will work on other distributions. This How-To will start out by a Android Setup Environment introducing you to the Android environment and the way you can build an Android-based image. Have lot of fun. ISEE Team |
