=== Android porting on Dacu /Lizard ===
Android relies on the Linux kernel version 2.6.x, so, like many other linux systems, booting it is straightforward once a working Linux kernel image and a pre-built root file system are available. A big help in getting these software components come from the Texas Instruments Android Development Kit for Sitara Devices (http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/TI_Android_DevKit/TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4_DevKit_2_1/index_FDS.html), which provides, among other things, the Linux kernel source code and a Android 2.3.4 "Gingerbread" pre-packaged root file system source code.
The porting on Dacu /Lizard consisted in:
* patching the TI Android kernel source tree with the Dacucarrier board/Lizard SOM modifications
* adding kernel support for the capacitive touchscreen controller and buttons
* rebuilding the root file system, adding some demo and benchmark applications
