Is there a way to reproduce this? A simple binary image where we can start Android on FVP and just replace the kernel image would be great. That way we can look at the incompatibilities in the FBDEV emulation and try to fix them. Is it working with a stock kernel or do you need any out-of-tree Android patches to run this? Can you also share the kernel config used for this build so it is easy to rebuild a similar kernel?
