Hi, TIers
As we all know that Google has released the newest Android version 4.3, but TI have not updated the Andrdoid support for AM37x for a long time.
Android 4.3 have some new features, is it possible to running Android 4.3 on AM37x platform?
Does Linux 2.6.37 on AM37x can support Android 4.3? SGX for AM37x in Android ICS version can be used to Android 4.3?
hope for your reply.
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
We don't have any plans to support JB 4.3 on AM37x platform.

Pankaj Bharadiya
Thanks Pankaj.
Would you pls give me some suggestions if I want to port JB4.3 to AM37x.
In fact, I just want to make sure whether Linux 2.6.37 and SGX for ICS can be used on JB4.3?
If you can help me to make sure, that will be very appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I think you can use AM37x Linux 2.6.37 available on rowboat, but some of the Android features may not work (need to investigate on this). You can not use ICS SGX directly, You will need SGX libraries which are built with JB 4.3 sources.
Please go ahead with porting and let us know if you face any issues.

Hi, Pankaj
I have port 2.6.37 to JB 4.3 source.
The following step is what I do:
1. Download
ANDROIDEVKIT-JB-AM335X:
Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - Dev Kit for AM335x and install it.
2. remove the kernel from the ANDROIDEVKIT-JB-AM335X ,and move our 2.6.37 kernel to ANDROIDEVKIT-JB-AM335X
3. create neccesary files under devices/ti/ directory
4. Build android fs with make -j8 TARGET_PRODUCT=omap3evm OMAPES=5.x
after finishing the building, I make an sdcard to boot our board.
The following information is what I got from the serial console:

From this information, I think it need newer sgx ddk support to work with JB4.3, is that right?
Can you give me some help?
Thanks
Hi,
For time being please try booting without sgx libraries. Refer to below wiki for more details.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-JB-4.2.2-DevKit-4.1.1_DeveloperGuide#Filesystem_without_SGX
We will push JB 4.3 sources on rowboat with Beaglebone support shortly.
Stay tuned for further updates.

Hi,Pankaj
I have tried to build entire android system with build command with SGX Removed!
Then I boot the board with the new build files, I can see Android logo on my screen. So it can be sure that the SGX sources needs to be updated for AM37XX to make it work to JB 4.3?
