Yes and no. Android is ported to iMX515. We haven't fixed kernel support for the Android kernel yet (we're concentrating on mainline - 2.6.31 - as of today, and will backport when we are done).

One interesting item we can confirm: the Flash Android plug-in for the i.mx51 now plays videos on youtube.com. 8)

Congratulations! But, overall, isn't it a pity that viewing stupid videos has to be a milestone in product development?

I guess I'm too old for this game already. :wink:

I think it's not about stupid videos, but about Flash being a very essential part in any system aiming to offer serious (or even *at all useful*) browser capabilities, and being able to view youtube properly is by some people considered to be a measure of Flash/browsing usefulness. And not only by |village idiots|, but it's also something that nVidia shows when demoing their own ARM platform: nVidia Tegra

Hi all

I have done a initial port of Android to EfikaMx.
It thinks it is on a phone, so keyboard mouse does not work so well.

Photos can be found here:

Note the battery photo, since it thinks that it is running on a phone it warns me about that I do not have any battery :)

congrats on reaching an important milestone, Michael! now efika mx runs one of the two mass-consumer OS'es that matter (of which one is firmly proprietary and will likely never run on anything but its brand device).

Status update:

I have keyboard mouse network working.

Does anyone know where to point to get back to the previous screen ?

I've just realized (so late, sorry) your efforts in having Android on the Efika MX. I'm surprised that people don't rave about it: This flavour of Linux is, perhaps, the one with the most huge potential audience. But I guess you've also realized.

Why there seems to be no more progress or interest?

We are working on it. :)

And on my part, I'm still looking for time to actually contribute meaningfully to it...
