I build an install image of Android for Angstrom Zaurus.
I test it only on my C3000, and I'm hoping here that it will work on any other Zaurus as long as running on Angstrom and some other 2.6.23 based distributions.

Cheers, that sounds great! i'll test it tonight and report here, although i've already got a working android on my c3000 hdd;) i didn't thought i could put the android rootfs on a sdcard, to be faster and to take no room on the 4GB hdd of the c3000! thanks for that too  by the way, my C3000 is debian customized with the Angstrom kernel. so perhaps some people with true angstrom based C3000 would try too |

Your post was very suggesting for me to make it work. I guess you notice HDD LED is less busy now. A guy told me another C3000 with angstrom-consle-image(2007.1-stable) had no problem. Cheers, |

I tried last night on my Tosa, but the Angstrom console image I had had no loop support, so I couldn't mount the android.img.
If there's any way to mount it without loop support, I'd be happy to entertain another option. I'll be looking for the loop module for Tosa in the meantime. And in case any Angstrom devs are watching (bugs.openembedded.org is down right now): The console image works well, except for suspend. Actually suspend works fine the first time, but the second time it hangs with a message about waiting for ac97. I'll post the exact message when the bugtracker is back up. Thanks all. |

BTW, what should the apt or ipkg sources be? there didn't seem to be any in the c3xxx installable?
thanks Paul |

I took a look into defconfig-tosa in Angstrom bitbake package and found that loopback device is built as a module. So, it would be possible you could try to modprobe loop before starting Android.

QUOTE(undrwater @ Jan 30 2008, 02:47 PM) Attempted that already...no joy. I built a loop.ko with my Angstrom-spitz environment. Kernel version is still 2.6.23. 
arm_linux_2.6.23_loop.ko.tar.gz ( 8.09K )
Number of downloads: 280I'm not sure it works for you... Good luck, |

I'll post the exact message when the bugtracker is back up. you can use http://bugs.openembedded.net/ for now. .org is constantly having dns problem recently. I can confirm the suspend/resume problem you've seen with the 2.6.23 angstrom tosa kernel. The latest 2.6.24 kernel and suspend/resume issue is being worked on by Dmitry at http://tosa.lumag.spb.ru/news/7/51.html. You can kexec into the zImage provided on the site. If you need more details, we can take our discussion into the tosa forum. Regards Gordon |

Android Zaurus: your loop worked, thanks...but the img wouldn't mount. It worked well enough on my desktop.
It's showing as ext2, but I'm guessing that's not right. Might it work better if I knew the fs? Nevermind: dmesg states: CODE JFFS2 notice: (1020) check_mode_data: wrong data CRC So maybe my file is corrupt. I'll re-download and try again. xjqian: I have a few questions I'd like to ask. I'll post a topic in the Tosa forum. |
