It would be really great if someone can give some input/suggsetions regarding this.
Can the pre-built Android binaries run on ARMv6 compatible machines? How do we move forward and get the framework properly working on our custom hardware?

i don't know if it is really true but i read somewhere that android can only be run under ARMV5te devices...

EDITED: just found that while googling:

Thanks a lot for this input Does that mean the ARMv6 machines are not backward compatible with ARMv5 instructions?

Hi,

   We are trying to get the Android framework (binary) working on our custom hardware that is based ARM11 core. We do have a 2.6.23 kernel with ABI support and the android-root.tar.gz suggested in your post is being used as the rootFS. However when we try launching the /start script from console, it is unable to load the binderdev.ko module that is shipped with android-root.tar.gz archive. Hence we have added the binder module support into our custom kernel (binder module source code has been taken from from the linux-2.6.23-android-m3-rc20.tar archive) as static driver. After having added this support, the re-built kernel has been tried with aforesaid rootFS, but after couple of initial messages it bails out with segmentation fault. When I tried the strace utility to trace through the execution, it has been found that the "binder module is failing with Descriptor2Node failed". The complete strace log is give below:
