Status update: Android on OpenWrt

Here’s a quick update on my progress with getting Android running as a set of packages on top of OpenWrt:

The GUI is running, some applications work, but there are still some limitations:

Currently eglibc has to be used, uclibc threading is broken (will be fixed by integrating Android’s threading into uClibc
HTTPS crashes the browser
…

If you want to play with it, add this line to your OpenWrt feeds.conf and install all packages from it:

src-git borg git://nbd.name/borg.git

The target source for the emulator is here, you can check it out and throw it into target/linux/:

git://nbd.name/goldfish.git

And if you’re wondering about the name ‘Borg’ – I’m assimilating the Android ;)
