RE: Re: [XenARM] android emulator
Hello Sang-bum,
It is nice to hear from the person who is behind xen-arm. Do you have a plan
to add public read-only access to your 2.6.27 source code repository? I am
interested in your progress. If your repository is inside of firewall, there
are a lot of free public servers. I am using sourceforge.net. You can use
cvs or svn in sourceforge.net. github.com is another one for git.

Hi,
Excellent !
The released para-virtualized Linux 2.6.21 kernel for the Xen ARM project
would run on the Xen ARM on Android emulator.
However, you may need a patch to run an Android platform on Linux kernel
2.6.21 and port device drivers
to Android emulator, as there is a problem with Linux kernel version and
Android platform.
Try and download vanila Linux kernel and then update it with Para-virt Linux
files of the package at
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenARM.
For more details, please refer to section 2.2.2. of the Secure Xen on ARM
user's guide at the web page.
FYI, I can release para-virtualized Linux kernel 2.6.27 next year of which
Linux kernel version does not need
such Android patch.
Thanks,
Sang-bum

Title : Re: [XenARM] android emulator
Actually, I got it to work. The problem was that that I was compiling on
a 64-bit version of the ARM-ported emulator instead of a 32-bit version,
so I logged into a 32-bit machine and attempted to compile it.
However, there was one snag before it worked: a patch is needed:
--- Taken from http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=838
1.) A -msse2 cflags is missing in Makefile.target which make _mm_add_si64
cannot be found:
/android-emulator-20080826/qemu/skins/skin_argb.h:286: warning: implicit
declaration of function '_mm_add_si64'
/android-emulator-20080826/qemu/skins/skin_argb.h:286: error: incompatible
types in assignment
2.) The error comment in build-emulator.sh is wrong.
Patch:
--- qemu.orig/Makefile.target 2008-08-29 10:01:41.000000000 +0800
+++ qemu/Makefile.target 2008-08-29 10:01:24.000000000 +0800
@@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ endif
ifeq ($(ARCH),i386)
OP_CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-CFLAGS+=-DUSE_MMX -mmmx
+CFLAGS+=-DUSE_MMX -mmmx -msse2
ifneq ($(CONFIG_DARWIN),yes)
OP_CFLAGS+= -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2
else
Once I applied this on a 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04 server box, the compile
succeeded
and the two mini-os domains started running inside the emulator.
Cool stuff! Thank you very much for your quick response.
What is the possibility of getting a full linux-2.6.21-arm running
inside the emulator?
Is that possible right now?
