Who can help me to install android 4.0.3(Ice cream Sandwich) on AT91SAM9G45 (PCB designed by my self).
How can it detect my hardware ?
Is it possible ?

Have you skimmed through the Android4Sam project site (http://www.at91.com/android4sam/bin/view/Android4SAM/WebHome)?

It might be a good starting point. I don't think they support Ice Cream Sandwich yet, but you might be able to learn some useful background info.

and is not flexible for other PCB designs .

Which translates to "you will have to do something about all the unspecified changes you have made to the hardware, or pin assignments". Things don't typically automagically sense your hardware changes and adapt, the hardware is not plug-and-play.

Start by learning to build the Linux and Android systems for the available EK boards, then examine the source and understand how your changes will impact the configurations.

The build environment for ICS is quite demanding, and it doesn't sound like your up to porting much. You'd be best sticking with the code that is already available/ported, and tune it to your needs.

If you have an hourly contract rate, there might be people available to assist you. Your ATMEL FAE might have some contacts.

Thanks for help me ,
All hardware module vendor , pin assignment and Peripheral selections are different and some modules are not available (camera,accelerometer,...) .
OK , I'll search more to achieve more information about that .
Thanks again .

Hello everyone ,
Sorry for being too late.
I gained very useful information about "Porting Android on ARM".
The doors are open to me(maybe) .
I understood , to make an Android for ARM , I should :
1-get a linux kernel , a hardware patch(Atmel) and an Android patch(Atmel) and merge them .
2-Change the sources according my hardware.
3-build the kernel .
4-Configure bootloader for my board.
5-make a file system format for installing Linux kernel.
6-Program and boot the board .

If I forgot some thing or wrong , tell me to know . :wink:
