Boot up error- porting android to imx31 (android version 1.5)

[shyjumon]

Hi all,
I am trying to port android 1.5 version to my imx-31 borad. I have
successfully ported till 1.1 version in my board without any issue.
This time i am building the RFS from the source code rather than
pulling the RFS from the emulator. Please help me if any one come
across the following error:

D/AndroidRuntime( 27): >>>>>>>>>>>>>> AndroidRuntime START

The above is the logcat output.
I have build android from the source code downloaded from the
repository. And copied the file system from the "out/target/product/
generic/" path.
The procedure i followed is as follows:

[root@localhost]# cd /opt
[root@localhost]# mkdir my_repo
[root@localhost]# cd my_repo
[root@localhost]# curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > /bin/repo
[root@localhost]# chmod a+x /bin/repo
[root@localhost]# repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
[root@localhost]# repo sync

I got the source and then.

ramdisk.img root symbols system system.img userdata.img

I trying to copy the filesystem to my SD card (card is partitioned in
2, sdc1 and sdc2 and i am copying the RFS to sda1 and the format is
ext3).

[root@localhost]# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdcard1

[root@localhost]# mkdir /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# cp -a ramdisk.img /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# cp -a system.img /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# cp -a userdata.img /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# cp -a system /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# cp -a data /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# cp -a root /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# cd /opt/android_RFS_1.5

[root@localhost]# gzip -cd ramdisk.img > ramdisk

[root@localhost]# cpio -iv -F ramdisk

Since i could not mount and extract system.img and userdata.img, i
have extracted data and system folders from the running emulator by
using adb.

[root@localhost]# cp -a ./* /mnt/sdcard1

[root@localhost]# sync

[root@localhost]# umount /dev/sdc1

I have put the sdcard to my target board and booted up, the LCD
display is showing Android and it hangs and when i check the logcat
output the above error i could get.

Please advice me what the wrong step i am doing. And if any of you
came across the above error please advice me how to fix the same. Also
is there any links or mail threads which i can refer to.

Thank you.

With regds,

What are the ownership and permissions on /data/dalvik-cache, and on
the file listed above?

The VM wants to rewrite core.jar's entry in /data/dalvik-cache, but
does not believe it's able to do so.

Hi Fadden,
Thank you for the reply. As i have checked the permissions, i have
give 0777 permission for data and dalvik-cache too.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3689656 2009-06-08 18:22
system@framework@core...@classes.dex
The above is the permission of the classes.dex.

Is there any modification required in init.rc script ? and also is
there any other thread which having similar sort of discussions going
on ?

Thank you and regards,
Shyjumon N.

Hi All
Thank you for the support. I have successfully done the Android 1.5
porting. The above problem was due to data corruption in /data/dalvik-
cache/ . This is caused by the wrong method to copy the RFS. For SD
card RFS:

[root@localhost]# cd <path of android source>/out/target/product/
generic

[root@localhost]# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdcard1

[root@localhost]# cp -a root/* /mnt/sdcard1/

[root@localhost]# cp -a system /mnt/sdcard1/

Modify the init.rc file

[root@localhost]# umount /dev/sdc1

boot the board.

Thank you.
Shyjumon N.
