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.

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.

Good luck!
