Hello;
I have tried to run any of the linaro-android image files on a qemu/ubuntu-pc-Intel-64bit without any success. All your instructions deal with porting your image files to an SD card which will then plug into an actual development board. You have not provided any instructions to run any of your image files in qemu emulation environment.
There are two different ways that I know off:
- port your image files to a SD card which we boot using the qemu/ubuntu-pc-Intel-64bit. This method is limited with the space the SD card will provide;
- use "qemu-img create" to create a file of any size we want, then format the file using the "mkfs.ext3" command. This method has the clear advantage to create an image of a hard drive of any size we want depending on the available space on the hard main drive??. I have used this method to create an image file up to 150GB.
I had no problem to run few Linux-arm versions on the emulation environment in question, but no luck to run any version of the actual android??. I wonder if the lack of any instructions on your web site means that your image files will not run in the emulation environment in question??. While it is very slow, the emulation method of actual android on a Linux/PC has many distinct advantages to a large number of developers
as they can test many things without having to worry about destroying the android installation on the device/board??.
I hope you will answer this email as you have not already two previous emails???.
Thanks;

Hello Again;
I have several very large apps (all of them in c/c++ and qt) that are already build on arm platform (using Linux environment), but do not build using regular android tools (e.g.ndk, jni and adt-eclipse)??. How I can port the executable files (with all the libraries they need and do not exist on android) that I have for arm to the android platform and get the android apk file needed to put the app on the android apps shop??.
Thanks;

I am wondering if you have the necessary android img files (preferably jelly bean version) and the method to run android image on qemu running on regular ubuntu-pc-64bit.
Thank you;
