Google Android runs on Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000

wooo, I hope that an angstrom dev will take a look and add a package to the feed with the kernel module, and possibly a recipe for installing android too!

Just spotted a package linux-android-goldfish_2.6.23-rc20.bb described as "2.6 Linux Android Kernel from Google" in Poky trunk

I compiled a minimal boot image, maybe some of you want to give it a try. Just extract the files on a SD and do the usual flashing. The updater.sh is from my Debian-experiment, but it works nicely. It boots on my C3100, that's all it does so far. What has to be done next is described in the instructions here (copy ramdisk.img.gz, system.tar.gz and data.tar.gz, extract it, etc). I'll try tomorrow, but now it's time to get some sleep  

Good luck!

I love the way the linux community can turn a vapourware product into reality!

I have it all set up, but the /dev/binder is missing, so starting android ends with an endless bouncing red dot. Anyone know how to setup the /dev/binder ?
Maybe, if some of you are interested, I could upload the installer and root filesystem somewhere for you to try it yourself

you can upload it on my ftp and i'll make it public
unhopefully i won't have time to test it before a week as i'll be out for some holidays

Thanks, but I'm having problems uploading the files to your server (no route to host). I'll try again later

Could anyone having this working make a video, so that we can see how fast/responsive it is on the Z?
Thanks

ftp is now up

too bad jpmatrix's ftp doesn't work for me, so I had to dust off my own server  

Download following files:
Android root filesystem
gnutar
updater.sh
zImage (patched angstrom kernel)

Copy the files to SD and flash the system in the usual way. After finishing and reboot, login with root and type /start

Now, here's where I'm having problems. The bouncing ball simple doesn't stop bouncing. What I found out was that pressing ctrl+alt and 1 or 2 a couple of times shows a logging message. After that, pressing ctrl+alt+menu shows a few system commands, like reboot, tErm, poweroff etc.

Try for yourself. Maybe I miss something simple and this is easy to solve. I've followed the instructions here strictly,

Good luck.

this blog seems to talk about it :

http://androidzaurus.seesaa.net/article/75144027.html

would you send us some news about what is working (apps, devices, ...) and some screenshots too ?

[cortez]

Yeah, I know. I'm already in contact with the blog-guy  
If you want to see what is included currently you can install the SDK and run the emulator
