[Armadillo:03622] Re: Regarding Android on Armadillo-500

[Shyjumon N.]

Hi Chris,
	Thank you for your reply. I have already completed the porting
Android on Armadillo-500 with linux-2.6.25-at0-pre0 kernel. I have a
screen flickering issue now.

I will explain it as follows:
When any mouse movement or key event happens, the screen of the Android
flickers.
Even if I keep it idle also, the screen flickers. Also if I keep the
board idle for few minutes, the console is getting suspended.

Did you come across this kind of issues? I doubt it could be the problem
with mxcfb or input event handling. Can you suggest me some clues?

Thank you and best regards,

Shyjumon N

Armadillo-500 FX is now using a linux-2.6.26 kernel, and I would 
recommend using that for Android on Armadillo-500 (development base 
board) as well.

We'll hopefully be able to take a look at getting power management fully

functional soon.

We're just getting our feet wet in Android too, so we wont be able to 
offer a lot of support just yet.

However taking a very quick look at the Android init source, it looks 
like /data/property is the first thing accessed under /data on boot, so 
you might want to start by checking if the directory is there and /data 
is mounted OK etc.
