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

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

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?

Amount of contiguous memory for 2D?

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

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
