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.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by porting, but it sounds like you want to use the Linaro tree and build Android for Pandaboard. I just went through this myself and blogged the process that worked for me.

Check out: http://linuxsound.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/setting-up-an-android-build/

Good luck!

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.
