Summary: Feasibility analisys of Android introduction in a completely tested industrial device. Description: By now Android has been ported to 600Mhz Cortex A8 cpu or similar. The declared Android requirements are instead lower, about 200Mhz Arm9 cpu with 100Mhz Ram bus. So I think the growing interest in this O.S. lacks some porting to less powerful cpus. The reasons to do this porting are commercial because of Google market power, but are also technnical, because Android debugging environment is very nice for not embedded developers. This could help the diffusion of opensource embedded Linux. The porting will be maybe against the 2.6.31 kernel for pxa270. The idea is to preserve industrial tested development but adding Android graphical interface. The cpu dependency of the porting will be as small as possible.
