If I have a set top box(Mips arch) with the source code(with a modified Linux kernel) which makes it run, and now I want to run Android on it, how do I proceed? Updating my kernel source by comparing it with the common Android kernel tree should be a good start right? I also want to know what libraries are made use of by the Android run time. Appreciate any help.

MIPS Android web site has Android source code which has already been ported and optimized for MIPS architecture. Once you have MIPS version of the Android source code, you can follow the standard Android porting guide.

  • I downloaded the generic sources from mipsandroid website. But it uses a prebuilt kernel. I have my own kernel source which I've modified to accommodate android kernel level changes. How do I proceed with porting? – Sid Ramadoss Mar 15 '11 at 08:48
