Hi, I ported android on i-MX31L board. Now i am working on how does android use ppp stack to do GSM related functions. Anyway, smartphones use GSM as modem, my assumption is, once you can do PPP connection to the GSM module, Android can make a call. If you need to do hack with PPP, you can try first from android console: # /system/bin/pppd /dev/ttyACM0 460800

/dev/ttyACM0 is modem device, make sure it is available in your /dev/ directory 460800 is baud rate used with the modem.

Check the init.rc file inside /etc directory, there are lines pointed to :

pppd_gprs { #exec /system/bin/pppd exec /etc/init.gprs-pppd args { 0 /dev/omap_csmi_tty1 # this must be modem device, you can change to your own modem 1 debug 2 dump

Unfortunately, the result is very far from my expectation. Sometimes, it shows me errors, sometimes it just blank and nothing happen. :(

Ok I guess my question is, what needs to be done to make and receive phone calls once we have Android ported on to a real target?

Hi All,

I have seen posts that said people successfully ported Android kernel to real targets. If so, has anyone tried to get the Android telephony component to work on real hardware i.e successfully made/received phone calls?
