Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich imx53 QSB porting

[Kirill]

Hello!

Everybody know that Google open Android 4.0 sources, does anybody try to port it on IMX53 QSB? I am using know 2.3 BSP from adeneo. I have build 4.0 and get system.img file , but I use make PRODUCT-generic-user not imx53_loco like in adeneo. I dont touch 2.6.35 kernel from 2.3. Could anybody give some advices what to change in sources to get it working? init, init.rc?

check python modules, names of modules, i needed to rename debian modules, because i downloaded from repositories modules with another names like on linaro scripts.

neither do I, sorry

I didnt see any error about package. I installed all packages before run the cmd. I dont know what does it wrong.

[daiane_angolini]

and have you double checked all packages you need to have installed on you machine?

I only created one linaro sdcard, and the error I saw was caused by missing package

[G_rio]

yes

[daiane_angolini]

no....

Was your SDCard empty?

Hello, http://releases.linaro.org/11.11/android/images-ics-preview/staging-imx53/

Hi,

     Any link to download the ICS source code for I.MX53 QSB ?? I searched in the linaro release but could not find one!! :smileysad:

[G_rio]

Where do can i get the ICS image for mx53QSB ?

[daiane_angolini]

I took the pre-built image. And after a reboot it got to homescreen.

Next step for me is to take source code.

[Kirill]

Yes, try to zero your flash before. I flash my memory with target iMX53. Try to reboot , after that I get homescreen. All this actions way me to homescreen)

[daiane_angolini]

I just donwloaded and it isn't up and running.

android cannot boot completely. Did you get to homescreen?

[Kirill]

Hi, today I found Linaro's build ICS and flash it. I get not stable working ICS, but I see workscpaces, and launch Settings app. It works very buggy. Kernel is 3.1, Android 4.0.1, you could find compiled system on their site linaro.org

[daiane_angolini]

Hi. I´m looking forward to start working on ICS port for QSB, but I had not time yet =(

Do you know which is the kernel ICS needs? I don´t think it will be 2.6.35

I will follow this thread, so we can keep the discussion....
