Hi,

Thanks for providing useful link. Still, I need some clarification from all expert. I am getting some issues, while creating tar file for filesystem(File Sytem - step 5). I added busybox (ARM-cross-complied) to Android SDK- emulator(m3-37).After linking this busybox executable to /sbin/tar, When I am trying to run tar command. Its giving "Tar not found". Why I am not able to run busybox command inside emulator? Can we use the available Android file system image ( system.tar.gz & data.tar.gz.) ? Is it necessary to purchase Micro SD card? We can not do it on existing free space in N810. What is here "userspace_android-m3-rc37a_N8XX.bz2"?

Is their any way to keep the original Kernel as it is, and flashing the android stuff as dual OS?

Hi All,

I am trying to port the android on Nokia N810. I am new into embedded development platform. I am trying my best to understand the given procedure in "http://www.elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP".

As per my understanding, these are the few steps which needs to be done. 1) Get the kernel patch. 2) Get the Android File System(/system and /data) 3) Kernel and File System Configuration on Real Target i.e Nokia N810 4) Integrating the Kernel and File System using scripts, and starting of android

I think, The first two steps, one can easily get from the given available link.

I am not clear in steps 3 and having some few query. How to go ahead in configuring the kernel and file system on Real target(N810)? In given steps, its mentioned steps wrt Linux-2.6.23 and N810 is having Linux-2.6.21. Which kernel version and final package to take? Is it possible to keep the original running kernel on N810 active and flashing the new android-kernel(for ex- dual boot) ?

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
