Android on Freerunner
Google has released their open source version of the Android phone software distribution. In order to use it on the Freerunner, a number of patches need to be applied and a compiler with armv4 java exception support needs to be used to compile the software.
Compiler suite
Android is a little picky about the version of gcc compiler. It also requires some java exception support that isn't available for armv4 without a minor modification. The following tools are what I use to build Android:
Binutils 2.18
configure --prefix={devel path}/android/cross --target=arm-eabi
gcc 4.2.4 with gcc41-java-arm4.patch
configure --prefix={devel path}/android/cross --target=arm-eabi --with-arch=armv4t --enable-shared --enable-threads --disable-nls --disable-libmudflap --enable-target-optspace --with-abi=aapcs --enable-multilib --disable-libssp --disable-libstdcxx --enable-languages=c,c++
java-6-sun
This is the standard Linux package available for most (all?) distributions.
Patches
Coming soon. I've posted a number of them on the devel mailing list so far.
