Hi, I am working on TI’s OMAP Zoom2 platform (OMAP3430). My intention is to boot Zoom2 with Android using 2.6.31 kernel. Note that I am also planning to post this in omapzoom discussion group. I think the issue is not related to platform (zoom2) but to do with Android images with Linux kernel 2.6.31 and hence posting it here as well.
Here is how I have extracted android patches 1. Took vanilla 2.6.29 from kernel.org 2. Took Android 2.6.29 kernel from http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/android-2.6.29 3. Took the diff between 1 and 2 4. Extracted only the android patches (ashmem, android timer, everything in staging, yaffs2 etc..) 5. Applied the android patches to OMAP tree OMAP zoom2,3430 with Linux 2.6.31 kernel What is the current state?: I am able to boot the kernel with Android patches with a file system just busybox in it. During bootup I could see some console messages related to Android (like: ashmem initialized , yaffs2 etc.. ). Also, in /proc, I can see entries related to binder. What is the issue I am facing? : When I try to boot the kernel with Android images, the kernel panics with the following error message Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init Questions I have: 1. Do I need to rebuild Android images (especially bionic) with the kernel header files of 2.6.31 ? 2. What all additional changes I have to make to boot with Android images I appreciate your help..
