Dear Ramya, They are not binary but afaik source compatible. I am 100% sure for the SKULL driver, you can compile it for android. For compilation you need a ARM cross compilation tool chain. One is f.e. included in the android sources as prebuilt package. Then compile the scull driver with ARCH=ARM CROSS_COMPILE=pathtotoolchain/arm-eabi- make
You can actually also try this on you android emulator. To test you module there (for SKULL f.e. that makes sense) just be aware that the android doesn't have the mknod tool installed. to get that you need busybox installed. but then you can do everything you want basically.
