Thanks Chris, That is very insightful.
What do you think regarding this? http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Google-Nexus-gets-endorsement-as-Android-forks-from-Linux/ How different I am going to do it with respect to Linux Kernel? as you said I would need to patch the Linux Kernel. Back to your reply, I will use U-Boot and yes, there is a Linux for it http://www.nioswiki.com/Linux/Downloading_Linux_Distribution Care to explain what do you mean by 'stock userspace', 'constructing an android userspace' and 'ADB'? I am using NEEK http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyc3-embedded.html and it seems its memory is only 32MB. Memory * 32 MB of DDR SDRAM * 1 MB of synchronous SRAM * 16 MB of Intel P30/P33 flash On Sep 6, 4:18 am, Chris Stratton <cs07...@gmail.com> wrote: > Generally, figure out your first stage bootloader - if it's oem or u- > boot or whatever.
