[Android] Any chance of this making it to the 770?
 
Or is the hardware just not up to it?

Android can run slow on the n800 (until you kill most processes), so performance might be a bit... calm :p

I think the bigger issue would be just to port it. Someone would have to patch the 770 kernel. What OS do you have?

I'm just running 2006. I pretty much only use the 770 now for fbreader.

I'm interested in working to get android running on 770. I think this could resurrect 770 HW. I suggest we find a wiki page somewhere on which to coordinate our efforts. Perhaps we could use debian as a base instead of ITOS? Much experimentation is needed...

Found this whilst searching for android on 770:

I would also love to see this working!

Nice find. It looks like the post is a bid old (November 07), but at least it appears to be somewhat feasible.

So don't give up hope on your 770, it's only a matter of time till someone like penguinbait sticks it all together into a shiny deb :p

(someone else could do it too if they had the kernel patched i guess)

Which reminds me that Bundyo's N770 kernel needs to be reconfigured with CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY=y for battery metering on that hw.

Cool. Thanks the nitdroid team! I followed the guide and now it's on my 770 with 128MB swap on. A few questions though, how stable is it? Mine seems to crash regularly (maybe it's the cheap MMC). Does the WiFi work?

Does the youtube app work on NITdroid/andriod when on the n770?

How usefull , so far there are no network connectivity , any of you investigated on the wifi, BT or usbnet interfaces ?

Hello, I have managed to launch NITdroid with the 0.3.2 rootfs on my 770, but I have not been successfull with newer ones (such as 0.4.2) so far: the startup stops at the "flashing logo" stage and the 770 finally reboots. I use the latest kernel prepared by Bundyo dated 12/23/08. What is your experience with latest rootfs ?

solca 2009-02-06 17:09

Re: Any chance of this making it to the 770?
 
0.4.2 should work on 770 but I don't have the hw to debug it. Can you connect via ADB when booting?

Solca, I can connect via ADB or Dalvik Debug Monitor when booting (I have access to the filesystem and can run ADB commands). I have attached the booting log from Dalvik Debug Monitor. The booting seems to restart endlessly at some point in the starting process

First it seems you don't have a FAT partition on your MMC card.

Second something is generating a SIGBUS signal, as 0.3.2 works I would rule out bad memory but do you set up a swap file or partition for 0.4.2?

Remy 2009-02-06 19:28

Re: Any chance of this making it to the 770?
 
I have not tried yet to swapon my swap partition on the 0.4.2. I will try that. FYI, the 0.3.2 could start without swap but activating swap somehow improved system stability

I actually have a FAT32 partition on my MMC card (the first one)

Re: Any chance of this making it to the 770?
 
I'll post tomorrow a diff of my kernel changes (they're not much anyway) and also the changes to the wifi drivers.

Re: Any chance of this making it to the 770?
 
Great Bundyo !

I am exited to test this, btw do you need to flash maemo again to update rootfs ?

I have converted the first partition of my MMC card from FAT32 to FAT16, and I have activated my swap partition during bootup through the ADB tool, but no success so far with the 0.4.2 rootfs

I also tried to activate swap at startup by adding [service swap /nokia/bin/busybox swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
oneshot] at the end of the init.rd file. Is this command correct, as it doesn't seem to work (no swap is activated)?

Swap is not required unless maybe on a N770 and it's not the problem, I just asked because if swap goes to a bad block device with errors weird things will happen including your SIGBUS signals.

Those SIGBUS errors could come from bugs in the compiler optimizations too as I optimize all the recent NITdroid releases for the N770 CPU (-march=armv5te -mtune=arm926ej-s) which is the lower common denominator.

In the next days will generate you a 0.4.2 filesystem without optimizations so you can check again. Thx!

Hi bundyo, have you released a new image ? or does this need to be builded ?

Where do you post the files ?

http://www.bundyo.org/maemo/nitdroid/

Also this place can be useful too :

http://nongnu.mirror.ironie.org/releases/nitdroid/

Thank again

I check and optimizations were not turned on so I discard this as possible causes for your crashes.

Also I noticed that url , maybe I could upload my files there
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nitdroid-770/

BTW, what about audio support in nitdroid ?
