Re: [gentoo-embedded] openmoko overlay?

["Christopher Friedt" <chrisfriedt@gmail.com>]

Right now I'm working on getting Android up and running on my OpenMoko
Freerunner.

Has anyone else on the list checked it out?

My strategy right now is to translate a handful of opcodes found in
the >= ARMv5 ISA into equivalent ARMv4 ISA sequences and then add any
hardware-specific libs for the FreeRunner, as necessary. One thing I'm
really wondering about is how performance will compare (if at all)
between the s3c2442 and something like the msm7201, given that the
s3c2442 lacks the DSP cores. Is the s3c2442 really up to the task of
running Android?

I've got a page going here:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Android

There are also a few sources for Android-compatible kernel patches at
the moment.

Cheers,

Chris
