Yes, it finally WORKS!

I've compiled a kernel 2.6.25 with vesa fb and radeon fb actived,
(take it here: www.dei.unipd.it/~rossicar/kernel)
you can overwrite standard eee kernel located in mydroid/vendor/asus/
eee_701/
and add "vga=" option during grub boot or in menu.lst
Thanks to freedom, Chen Yang and Lim for the guidelines

Problems?
1) at high resolutions android doesn't work very well (using vga=794)
2) low screen refresh rates (obvious, is a framebuffer...)
3) no mouse support
4) buggy keyboard support
5) no network support
6) dialer function doesn't work.. ;-)

> Problems?

There is no hardware acceleration whatsoever for this target. You are
running at high resolution, and forcing the CPU to copy lots of data around
for every frame. Also, the assets in the framework are all designed to look
good on HVGA, and you are asking them to look good on 1280x1024 :)

> 2) low screen refresh rates (obvious, is a framebuffer...)

You probably mean low framerate. Framebuffer itself is not the problem. As
stated above, you running in pure software mode, so composition will be
pretty slow since you have to copy stuff around a few times before you
finally copy it into the framebuffer. And by copy, I mean memcpy() the data
around, no DMA or hardware blitters, or anything. With some basic hw
support, this will be improved dramatically.

> 3) no mouse support

It's not designed to work with a mouse at this point. There is no support
for a maintaining a cursor's position, or drawing a cursor on the screen.
Remember, we are running an environment that is currently only supported on
a touchscreen mobile handset. Hopefully, non-handset usage will improve as
people submit patches, work more on the mid profile, and generally drive the
platform on non-handsets forward.
You should note though, that plugging in a USB mouse generally should work,
and will act as a "trackball" like you have on the G1.

4) buggy keyboard support


You need the correct keymap for your keyboard. Specfifically, menu/back/home
keys need to be properly mapped.

> 5) no network support

Your kernel is missing the proper network drivers.

> 6) dialer function doesn't work.. ;-)

What did you expect it to do? ;)

Good to see that you made some progress.

I modified the kernel.config file and restarted my build again. I
assume virtualbox needs a .iso file for installation. How do i convert
installer.img to .iso file?
is there any other way of doing this? I want to run Android in
virtualbox (running on XP pc).

At hand, i only have VMware workstation, and I have verified the steps, hope
it helps.
I assume that you have parepared the installer.img from Lim's description:

1. create the vmware disk file based on the installer.img
you can use sfdisk -l installer.img to get the C/H/S information about it,
although it reports issues, it won't do harm, at least from my observation.
And get our interested line:
...
  for C/H/S=*/1/0 (instead of 49/255/63).
...

Also, you may need to change the following entries: the extent description
part, to the real block size of the image, basically, it's size of
installer.img/512.

Cut the following lines to one file with the installer.img as
installer.vmdk, and copy the installer.img together with this file in the
same directory.
---
# Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
CID=b01deebc
parentCID=ffffffff
createType="monolithicFlat"
# Extent description
RW 794622 FLAT "installer.img" 0
# The Disk Data Base
#DDB
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "4"
ddb.geometry.cylinders = "49"
ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
ddb.adapterType = "ide"
ddb.toolsVersion = "0"
--

2.create a new vmware target environment as linux 2.6 series, and create one
primary hdd with IDE at least 1.8GB(maybe a little less is possible, i
haven't remebered the precise size, and I haven't tried SCSI yet, but may be
also possible). Add the installer.vmdk as one extra hard disk to the virtual
machine.

3. Boot the VM, and when bios shows, press F2 to enter BIOS, to select the
right installer drive as the boot drive, if you added later, it will be
Primary Slave. Choose it before the Primary Master by Pressing + on that HDD
in boot column. After that, you will see the boot starts.

4. it may report issues in installation as "no sda6" as it happened to me,
it seems to have some relationship with the updated partition table read
failure. Take it easy. Just reboot the vm, and installation will continue,
as the updated parition table will be effective when rebooted. Wait some
time, and it will report
"Successfully configured N images."
Then the installation is done!

5. Reboot the VM, and change the boot up drive as the Primary Master. Or you
can just remove the installer.vmdk from the VM configuration. Then boot
starts, you will be able to use it.

Some notes:
1. Be sure to compile the kernel with VESAFB and add the vga=788 with in
cmdline. 800x600 seems to be a quite usable resolution, for 1024x768 and
above resolutions, you may meet some performance or execution issues.
2. If you want to use network, you may need to compile the AMD PCNET32
driver.
3. the installer.vmdk also works with Virtualbox, but i haven't verified the
above steps yet.
4. Chris's make-live may provide some short-cut, i haven't explored yet.
But I may update if I find one good approach. :)

Hope it helps! And correct me if i have something incorrect with my
description. Thanks.

I just repeated the process on VirtualBox, mostly the same and you may meet
with one issue in booting the installer.img, as you select the primary slave
as the boot up disk, it will complain that it cannot find the right
parition, then please select 0 and edit the 3 lines configuration one by
one, to replace the the hd0 with hd1, then it will start the installation
process correctly. You will also need the same rebooting and re-configure
the 0 sysloader, and 3 lines configuration to accomplish the installation.
Hope it helps!

Thanks yang for the instructions.
I am using VirtualBox2.1.0 release and it complains about .vmdk file
when i try to add it. Somebody has opened a bug for virtualbox for the
same issue.
What release are you using?

i just verified your configuration with Virtualbox 2.1.0 under Windows, it
can import the disk correctly. Which version are you using?

VirtualBox2.1.0 on WinXP. As per your instructions, I created a .vmdk
file with the above contents and
copied installer.img and .vmdk file to the same directory and i tried
to create a new VM by choosing the
existing virtual harddisk. When i see the error, i also noticed that
the contents of the .vmdk file are
modified with lot of "^@" symbols..

Thanks for ur time Chen... I really wanted to get this going.

May be i am missing something here. This is what i am doing:

Launch Sun VirtualBox
Click on New -> Next
Name it as "AsusAndrioid"
Ostype=Linux
Version=2.6
RAM=256MB
Checked Boot Harddisk(Primary master)
clicked on exisiting and selecting the .vmdk file(this is only 1k file
though). When i select the file, virtualbox complains about failing to
open the file and says it has invalid signature.

Not sure if i am doing any wrong in this step..

Please help!

It seems all are correct.
You can choose to add the vmdk without creating the virtual machine by
selecting the File->Virtual Media Manager ...
Meanwhile, the installer.img is useless as a primary master, since it's only
for installation use.

Hi,

I am following the instructions specified by Dima and Lim to build
Android on a EeePC. However, I want to build it on a Desktop with
Ubuntu 8.10. I created a new directory for Android source code, did a
"repo init", followed by "repo sync" and then explicitly did a git
clone of git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/vendor/asus/eee_701.git
to get the EeePC files.

I only did a repo init (not with -b option) with the understanding
that the cupcake branch is now merged into the master branch. Is this
incorrect? Do I have to use '-b cupcake'?

Subsequently, I ran the following command:

TARGET_ARCH=x86 TARGET_PRODUCT=eee_701 DISABLE_DEXPREOPT=true
CC=gcc-4.2.1 CXX=g++-4.2.1 make -j2 installer_img

The output I got is:
*************************************************************************** *****
build/core/product_config.mk:207: WARNING: adding test OTA key
============================================
TARGET_PRODUCT=eee_701
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng

amend.  Stop.
*************************************************************************** *****

What could be the issue? I have created symbolic links for 'gcc-4.2.1'
to point to "prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/i686-unknown-linux-gnu-4.2.1/
bin/i686-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc-4.2.1".

Thanks,
Avtar

hi Avtar:
   Is this directory also used for pre-cupcake source? It seems that the
compilation issue was caused by the stale directory "recovery" under your
android source root directory. You may remove it to see whether it works or
not. Hope it helps!

Yes. It also had pre-cupcake source. It works now. Thanks, Chen! I
will now follow the make output and see what I have got.

I get stuck at the third step:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
-b cupcake
bash: repo: command not found

Why is my repo command not found? My Ubuntu version is almost the same
as you specified:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008
i686 GNU/Linux
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Please help me!

Have you downloaded repo? You need to download it and have that path
in your PATH variable.

Thanks for the answer. How can I download it? I went to the package
manager (I think it's Synaptics but not sure, it's the one that opens
when you click Applications -> Add/Remove software), entered "repo"
into the search field and downloaded "Report", the only thing that
made sense. It wanted me to install something like "camaeleon" or
similar, I downloaded whatever it wanted, but the installation broke
somewhere, and now I can't start it again.
I remember there was a terminal command somewhere to clean up the
repository data, but forgot what it was. Is this the right approach?
And how can I add that path to my PATH variable?

Ok sorry for asking again, but somehow it doesn't want to work. I
downloaded curl and repo, and I think I also added it to the PATH
variable, but still the terminal can't find the repo:

This should do it, right? Or is the ~ symbol wrong when I add it to
PATH?

Sorry for the post above, got it fixed now, had to add only "~/bin" to
my PATH. But now my Python makes problems :-\

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$  repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
-b cupcake
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu/bin/repo", line 590, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/home/ubuntu/bin/repo", line 557, in main
    _Init(args)
  File "/home/ubuntu/bin/repo", line 176, in _Init
    _CheckGitVersion()
  File "/home/ubuntu/bin/repo", line 205, in _CheckGitVersion
    proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1147, in
_execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Why?

Hi,

I have built Android for eee PC using the instructions at the start of
this thread.

I have converted the installer.img to a .vdi file using:

# vboxmanage convertdd installer.img eeepc_disk.vdi

I am now running this image on Virtualbox 2.1.0 on WinXP. These are my
steps and observations:

1. When I start the VM, it hangs on Grub Loading stage 2..

2. I press F12 to enter the menu and it shows the following:

               0: sys_loader

               1: recovery

               2: std_boot

3. Option "2" is selected by default. But it doesnot work. Neither
does option "1". The errors are as follows:

       Option "1":

               Booting `recovery`

               cmdline (hd0,1)/cmdline

               Error 15: File not found

       Option "2":

               Booting `std_boot`

               cmdline (hd0,2)/cmdline

               Error 22: No such partition

Where can I change the default to 0 ? (I tried looking for "menu.lst"
file. But couldnt find it)

4. I then run the "/system/bin/installer -p /dev/block/sda2" for my
partition. It gives an error that the total requested size is greater
than the disk size (My image size is 387 MB and it is looking for arnd
1.5GB space). Do I need to pad my image ?

Best Regards,

Midhun.
