Android on PSP

Post by muzzle »

Hi,
you have probably heard of android, free linux based mobile platform developed by google.

A basic port of the linux kernel for the PSP is already in place, what is still missing to have android tunning on it? (apart from some developer free time, of course :)

Bye,

Emme

Also, the internals of Android are currently quite ARM-specific, including runtime-generated code of both 16-bit THUMB and the regular 32bit varieties. These are specific to ARMv5, it is all but impossible to get the android stack running on a device such as the openMoko phone which contains an ARMv4, let alone a psp!

So in short, for now anyway, what is missing is official support from what I can see.
Damn, I need a decent signature!
