David,
Do you expect the Dalvik VM would need modifications for MIPS? If so,
would it be similar to the changes necessary for bionic (replace some
ARM assembler functions/macros with MIPS assembler functions/macros)
or would it be more involved?
Thanks,
Peter

The Dalvik VM has a "portable" interpreter written in C that should work on
MIPS (it also includes assembly versions of the interpreter for ARM and x86
for better performance but these are optional).
There may be a need to add a small MIPS-specific assembly fragment to
support VM <-> native calls.
Thanks a lot!

Looks like that many arch-dependent (but non-kernel) headers of bionic
are extracted from the sys/arch/arm ... of Open BSD and Net BSD..
Trying to do the same job for mips. Sadly the source code fo mips32
Open BSD is no longer available on the offici
Dear all..
I have a similar question.
After u build a MIPS kernel image, do u need a android rootfs for MIPS ?
Because the system type of android rootfs is for ARM.
