Yeah, the Gumstix is a definite possibility. I don't _think_ the Jazelle instructions are used, but I really haven't checked closely. The Goliath add-on seems like it is delayed/sold-out at the moment, which is a bit disappointing.

My next potential target is probably the i.MX21 board. No GSM, but it does have an LCD at least.

The 8k patch is linked from my blog.

What about the Gumstix? XScales support ARMv5TE and you can get a "Goliath" add-on for the gumstix which includes a PSP LCD screen, GSM, GPS etc. Again, no Jazelle on the XScale tho. The SVHMPC have been making homebrew phones based on Gumstix boards & Telit GSM modems, although I think most are moving towards the Goliath boards now. If I find some time, I might try the patchset against my i.MX31 development board's kernel, although it doesn't have a working LCD at the moment. ;-(

Benno, any chance of putting the 8000 line patch up somewhere? I'd be quite interested in trying to put a patch together for OpenBinder and see what changes they have made from the tarballed source Rod found on Dianne Hackborn's website. I think a lot of technology is going to come out of Android which is very useful in other places. Specifically OpenBinder & the Surface Manager (X replacement anyone?).
