Hi Deepak, Thanks for u r kind reply,
I am unable to get few statements which u have mentioned in 7 step procedure to port Android on IMX31 board/ In step *3* u have mentioned "*my board specific changes*" and in step *4*u have mentioned a patch which should have got from step 3. I unable to follow step 3 and step 4 out of ur 7 point procedure to make android up with imx31 board, can u please be more specific on step 3 & 4. I am working on IMX31 *PDK* board, I hope it doesn't make any difference with both versions of IMX31 board which r available in market.
