Port Android to custom board

admin — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 04:00:34 GMT

Recently I bought a starter kit which is equipped with Kontron SMARC-sAMX6i, the board is based on i.MX6. The thing is they haven't release Android for the starter kit, so I would like to know how to port the Android release from Freescale to my board. Any guide or document to jump start me on that? For your information, I managed to boot Linaro-Ubuntu on that board which is based on kernel 3.0.35.

The document says nothing about android porting. FYI, I already have a working Linaro Ubuntu on top of the board. So I wonder whether is there any easy quick and dirty way to add the Android booting functionality to my working kernel? Another question is which one sounds easier, 1) apply my custom board patch to the Freescale android, 2) apply the my custom board patch to vanilla kernel then apply the Android patch of the same kernel version?

You mentioned to android porting, It's common to all android based boards. The so attached BSP guide is for how to

change your code if you apply different component from FSL reference design.

For you 2nd question, I prefer 1st one. Based on existed FSL android code plus your custom board patch, you can

boot up your android board in one day.
