I think you are lucky here: this is the same chip as Nexus 7, which is one of the few Android devices that have a high degree of upstream support. https://lwn.net/Articles/680109/ has done some work on which you can probably build here. Without that, your chance of success would be fairly minimal. Just start with this kernel tree and add what you need: https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/flo.git/shortlog/refs/heads/flo-WIP If you compare the original android sources for Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 4, you can probably figure out what is missing. I'm guessing that working Modem support is the biggest challenge here, if you don't absolutely need to make phone calls you should be able to get it working. > I guess I need a cross-toolchain for AMD64. > > As said I am new to all this. > If you have any cool hints... The prepackaged cross toolchain for Debian and Ubuntu normally works great, see https://packages.debian.org/sid/devel/gcc-5-arm-linux-gnueabihf Arnd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
