Compiling and porting android in Tiny1640
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.
