Hi,
I am a newbie to porting and currently learning embedded systems with interest in Android. So i thought it would be good learning if port Android Ice Cream Sandwich to Pandaboard(TI OMAP4460).
Note: I know that Android Ice Cream Sandwich is already ported to Pandaboard but as i am a newbie so i want to learn the things from scratch to strengthen my skills.
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android I started from the above link to see how can i start porting android to a board.
The link below gives the steps to get android source code from https://android-build.linaro.org/. But there are lots of builds on https://android-build.linaro.org/ and i don't know which should i get for my pandaboard. https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource
I also followed the link below https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/PortingToNewBoard but the git clone git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifests.git gives the following error Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ma/android/manifests/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Can someone kindly guide me in the right direction so that i can download and build the right code for my pandaboard and make further changes in the Android ICS code for pandaboard.
Any sort of help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
