ping DNS issue! ping returns "unknown host www.yahoo.com" but ping to IP works fine.

jolly1...@gmail.com (Nikhil Gautam) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:55:35 UT

I am trying to get the ping working in Android running on ARM.
Ping to IP addresses works fine but when I ping to name I get
"ping: unknown host [link]"
I have already setup the default gateway:
route add default gw 192.168.0.17
Also /etc/resolv.conf is also there:
echo nameserver 4.2.2.2 > /etc/resolv.conf

Android porting for MIPS architecture

manjunatha.sriniva...@gmail.com (manjunatha srinivasan) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:09:16 UT

Hi
I want to port android on MIPS board. I can find android kernel patch
for ARM (2.6.25). I seems that it required changes mainly in binder.
At present i am not sure about what are the necessary changes to be
done for binder (for MIPS). Let me know about other parts of changes
in patch and kernel source for MIPS. I am very well aware about that

Can we build and run only Dalvik VM on a SOC based on ARM11?

ericyg...@gmail.com (Yonggil Kim) — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 20:43:20 UT

hope to get only Dalvik VM & core lib running on a ARM11 based SOC without
application framework. In other words, I want to use Dalvik VM as plain JVM.
Anyone who knows how to build only Dalvik VM and core lib for the other SOC
and how to run plain java code on top of that?

vjosy...@gmail.com (venu) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 04:38:23 UT

This question is slightly out of context, I have following questions,

1. Can I have anroid w/o the davlick vm, application framework, and APIS ?
2. The motivation here is write custom applications on top libraries
provided by anriod platform ? In others words, I want to strip of java
virtual m/c, application framework and use anroid ?

Amount of contiguous memory for 2D?

anand....@gmail.com (anand b) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:30:53 UT

How much physically contiguous memory is required for 2D?
There is the following comment in libs/surfaceflinger/VRamHeap.c pp
/*
* Amount of memory we reserve for surface, per client in PMEM
* (PMEM is used for 2D acceleration)
* 8 MB of address space per client should be enough.
*/
This seems to be quiet a lot of pmem per client, as I imagine there

Are kernel panics stored for analysis in Android?

jwn...@motorola.com (Stoddard Robert-JWND84) — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 15:39:19 UT

I work for Motorola, and we're using Android for a number of new
projects. One of the big policies that we've got is that we like to
keep panic information for analysis.
We would like to keep panic data for later relaying back to the company
when our testers and other employees get kernel panics. The unfortunate

If anyone has gotten Android running or ever gets it running on a Treo,
would you please be kind enough to upload a dd image of the SD card for us
non-kernel hackers? Thanks a lot for your efforts!
