Android Kernel Vs Linux Kernel.

[padmapriyak]

Hi,
        I want  to port Android Fryo(linux version 2.6.32) on  platform  which is  also using modified version of linux kernel(2.6.32).
        I compared 2.6.32.9 kernel and android kernel(modified kernel 2.6.32). and found changes.Some of the changes includes
             1.Support of Numeric and alpha numeric password.
             2.YAFFS support.
             3.Power Management
             4.Memory Management to enhance shared memory
             5.Touchscreen.
My query is,

Is there anything that is specific to android in kernel level. (i.e)any android specific code.If so,tell me what are all the changes mandate to bring android kernel?If not,then how android kernel differs from Linux Kernel?

Note:

  Many post says "Compare linux kernel and bring android specific change.What does that "android specific change" mean?".


Regards,
Padma.

You already found them.

You already have all of the diffs on what is needed to do.

Look at the changes relative to the "stock" kernel.org release and you
will see the android specific changes.

good luck,

hi,

i think power management may consists of androisd.
the shared memory also may contain it.
