Android for Intel Atom Dual Core Cedarview N2600 and D2550

[SriRam Chadalavada]

Dear Android-x86 community,

  I have a requirement for creating an Android based BSP for Intel Atom Dual Core Cedarview N2600 and D2550 (I just read on the mailing list that D2xxx use PowerVR GPU which does not provide an open source driver and so Android-x86 will not work with it) with this list of peripherals to be supported by the kernel and bootloader.

a.      6~10 UART port

b.      Wireless Lan or PCI/PCIE Lan (Intel/Reltek….solutions)

c.      USB3.0 chip (Intel /NEC/Asmedia..solutions)

d.      Touch controller (3M/DMC9000/Egalax…solutions)

e.      PCI/PCIE bridge

f.       PCI/ISA devices support

g.      Legacy device support (PS2 Keyboard/Mouse, Printer Port/ Legacy FDD …..)

                 h.      LVDS/HDMI/DP…support

                      The latest jb-x86 branch only provides a target generic x_86. Can someone please share a broad overview on what it would take to port to the above processors?

                      Also, if the generic build is to be ported to other x86 families, is it relatively straightforward or are there some specific things that need to be done? In terms of effort, can someone estimate how much time it might take to port from the generic build to ANY specific target (Atom or Celeron or Core 2 Duo or i3-i7)?

                  Thank you,

                  Sriram

Android-x86 is designed to run on any x86 family that
fits the x86 abi defined by Google.
You should test the latest jb-x86 build and
tell us what work and what not.

But as I've explained, currently there's no way to enable
GLES hw acceleration for your target PVR GPU.
(though jb-x86 should boots well in non-accelerated mode)
That means it's impossible make a good product based on it.

Unless you can the GLES libs from Intel,
you should change your plan to choose others.
Or if you have good developers/hackers that
can do X window and GLES programming,
I have a plan for you.
