android on bifferboard

[Abhishek]

Anybody tried android on bifferboard?

[Andrew Scheller]

I dunno much about Android (but I just read the wikipedia article :)
Is there much point running Android on bifferboard, given that it
doesn't even have a screen?

I just want to test performance java on both linux and android.

As Android had optimised class file structure and optimised vm too.

The jury is still out on whether a Register based JVM (i.e. Dalvik) is
faster or not than a Stack based one (e.g. Sun's and others) - Goolge
developed Dalvik in part to avoiding Sun's IP in this area.

Sun's Squawk, the JamJVM or Kaffe JVM are also good candidate's for
embedded JVMs.

For Google's Dalvik to run on the Bifferboard you'll also need
Google's Bionic implementation of the libc libarary, and implementing
both of these on the Bifferboard is likely to require significant
effort (since Android was designed with PDA and mobile phones in mind
rather than embedded computers).

Done a bit more searching-&-reading, and I now know what you're talking about :)

It took a bit of hunting, but I eventually tracked down
http://source.android.com/projects

I have no intention of playing with any of it myself, just providing
the URL in case the OP wants to experiment...
And I also just discovered http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=android+x86

Thanks for info Jason,
You saved some of my nights,
I will give a try with embedded jvms suggested by you.

Thanks and Regards
