Thank you Ashwin, I was thinking I should start with the simplest features, libraries and smallest code size, so that I would just match the kernel version and diff between android's and my linux distribution's and apply android as a set of patches from there. Probably, not many people can help

To be able to run Android within 32MB of space, I'm sure they had to do some work within Android to make that happen. Every off-the-shelf Android build I've used has croaked horribly on anything short of 128 MB.. Now, if you think you have the aptitude to modify the necessary Android/Kernel bits

Thanks Ashwin, Should I go for 1.5 first? That link mentioned 1.6, do you know why the Google engineer advised me to go for the latest android-2.2_r1.1 with Java 5 for porting? Regards, Rehmet On Sep 12, 6:52 am, Ashwin Bihari abih...@gmail.com wrote: To be able to run Android within 32MB of

It is always wise to start a port to a new platform with the latest version of code (regardless of the code). If you were to start with 1.5 or something..you'd have to then port up to 2.2 and above which can be a task unto itself since a lot has changed between those 2 versions. Furthermore,

This is neither a very practical project nor a good place for someone unfamiliar with both the linux kernel and android to start. You need to learn a lot more about working with the linux kernel in embedded systems and also about using android on a system it already runs on, such as its stock
