[PROJ] ANDROID on XDAIIi (DOPOD 699)

[errhec]

I successfully boot (only) the ANDROID on XDA IIi (DOPOD 699).
It takes a minute to boot up and is only main screen.
It doesn't work anything at all ( except the reset button :) )

At boot up it shows :

-------lot's of stuff ------

init: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN
init: reading config file
init: device init
ANDROID sh: can't access tty; job control turned off



Here is a small tut, how to get Android on the Alpine: (THANKS TO domi007!!!)
1. Boot up a linux PC machine, and get an SD card which you want to use for Android.
2. Download this zip in Linux:
http://www.4shared.com/file/110429839/cf8f50ee/HTC_Alpine_linux_boot_.html
3. You will find in it an image file, called android.img. Unzip this (leave the other files in the zip, we won't need them)
4. Attach your SD card to the Linux machine, but DO NOT mount it.
5. Then run the command:
dd if=/your-folder/android.img of=/dev/sdb1
sdb1 symbolizes here your SD card.

After it is complete grab this file, and unzip it to the Main storage from your Alpine.

Insert the SD card into the uni, and run haret.exe, then wait.


Now I trying to compile the kernel (zImage) 2.6.23 or greater, but I have a lot of errors :( .

I will report the progress here

[haemorrhagic]

go go go go!!!!

[kevcal]

Wow!! :eek:

[pongothemagnificent]

is it android 1.0?? or just 0.8?

[errhec]

It's only 0,8 when I try 1.0 it does boot but is not show nothing on display.
I need the kernel (zImage) greater then 2.6.23 , but i have a lot of trouble compiling it.

[clustered]

last time i compiled sucessfully after i comment 3 line regarding the phone signal... im not sure which one but i will try to find the SD card back... My alpine screen broken, so its been long time didnt play with it....

[selcuk_kucuk]

you guys, know how to make us happy....

thx in advance

What's error you have got? May be you should be use specific arm-gcc? Actually I made it like that... and was compiled quite well.
export CROSS_TARGET=arm-eabi
make ARCH=arm CC=${CROSS_TARGET}-gcc CXX=${CROSS_TARGET}-g++ AR=${CROSS_TARGET}-ar AS=${CROSS_TARGET}-as LD=${CROSS_TARGET}-ld RANLIB=${CROSS_TARGET}-ranlib READELF=${CROSS_TARGET}-readelf STRIP=${CROSS_TARGET}-strip OBJCOPY=${CROSS_TARGET}-objcopy bzImage

guys, could you give me your kernel .config?
That mine, but that want not booting on my alpine.

@edit
and in addition, I tried to build experemental and 1.5 android kernels(2.6.27).

Where is the tutorial for your way compiling the kernel?

[-|LSV|-]

#!/bin/sh
#######
#Actually, I getting it by this way...
#cd android
#repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
#repo sync
#######
#But, if you want to get only tools, you must try this...
# git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/prebuilt.git

#where your android tools
export CROSSTOOLS=/usr/src/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.3.1/bin

export PATH=$CROSSTOOLS/bin:$PATH

export CROSS_TARGET=arm-eabi

export CC="${CROSS_TARGET}-gcc"
export CXX="${CROSS_TARGET}-g++"
export AR="${CROSS_TARGET}-ar"
export AS="${CROSS_TARGET}-as"
export LD="${CROSS_TARGET}-ld"
export RANLIB="${CROSS_TARGET}-ranlib"
export READELF="${CROSS_TARGET}-readelf"
export STRIP="${CROSS_TARGET}-strip"

I'm confused, but you really use 2.6.19-hh10, or where you've got this one?

[errhec]

Referring to OPIE that (partially) works on my Alpine is the kernel 2.6.21 ?

Well, this is not android kernel. I did build linux-2.6.21-hh nearly two years ago. And I have got only warnings while compilation your .config. In this kernel version alpine does have specified implementation there ./arch/arm/mach-pxa/htcalpine/, therefore it kind of works. That should be ported to the android kernel.

[errhec]

I try to make android zImage but it needs patch-ing.
I can't make a working one ;(
Now I want to try with the linux kernel higher then 2.6.23.
Also I seek for the pxa pach for android.

[domi007]

Great to see how my tutorial works also for the Alpine.

I will also keep up my work, hopefully we will be able to boot Android on every PXA-based HTC machine.

[dvorack]

Tha android 2.0 doesn't work in alpine?

[sim36]

did anyone continue with this?

[ljh960320]

Oh,I think,If Alpine can't use Windows Mobile, android also can use;)
