I am very new to android, do you mean that is possible to download and run make android on a freerunner?

I think isn't easy to make on freerunner direct, there is less space and tools. 2008/11/25 Jean-Baptiste Queru <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I don't see any fundamental reason why building FreeRunner images > couldn't be done from within the existing Android build system, and I > believe that the existing configuration system should be able to > exclude parts that might be undesirable (or could be reasonably easily > extended to add that ability).
