Hi,
 I am a newbie to android. i have a Tiny1640 dev kit. It is preloaded with
Qt interface. Please instruct me how to download android source code for
the Tiny1640 and how to compile and port it.

You should have the Android images on DVD with your board.

You can also build your own custom version. Not for the faint hearted I can
tell you.

If you have a look on the MiniDevs.com website there is some information on
setting up Android for development and building.

You will need a Linux PC to do this. For Gingerbread you need a 64 bit
setup and I recommend Ubuntu for this.

Make sure you run all the commands as root otherwise it will fail.

If you get errors, then you can Google for them and eventually it will all
just work. It took me about 1 weeks work to get it installed and working
without errors so don't despair as you work your way through it. 

I have found that there is no single source to setup as I had additional
steps to do so just Google your way through it as the information you need
it out there.

By the way, if you know nothing about Linux then this is an extra step you
will need to learn as I did.

Good luck with it. I have enjoyed the experience and looking to do more now
that I can build my own system and conrigure as I need it.
