All,

Is there a readme to port Dalvik in Eclair to other Architectures (say MIPS) ?

Thanks,
Raghu

dalvik/docs/porting-guide.html in the source tree:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/dalvik.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/porting-guide.html;hb=HEAD

 I am interested in porting the JIT in Dalvik which was introduced in Eclair. Any documentation on this would be of great help.

Thanks
Raghu

The code in tip-of-tree is quite a bit different from what's in
Eclair. It might be best to hold off until the next code drop.

In any event, there is no JIT-specific porting documentation at this
time.

Thank you for giving the direction. I think I will wait.

Hi Fadden,

         It has been sometime now after the release of Eclair. Was there another drop of Dalvik source code which contains JIT stable enough for a port to another architecture? If not when should I be expecting another code drop?

Thanks,
Raghu
