Just out of curiosity, how would one go about writing assembly for
Android (G1)?

Hi,

you would get used to ARM Assembler, write your stuff in ARM Assembler
and use an assembler to get real machine code. If you want to do more
advanced stuff, you should check the documentation of the certain ARM
processor used in your device and also how additional stuff is
connected to it. Maybe you need to check the documentation of those
chips, too.

bye

Do you have any advice, such as which assembler to use, or info like
what chip &c. is used in the G1?
thanks

If you are using a standard Pentium PC with Linux, then you can
download QEMU and emulate the ARM Linux environment. This will then
allow you to work on ARM Assembler code with the GNU toolchain. Here
is a good website to start at...

Good luck! :)
