Android Linux Kernel Found!

We've spotted a git repository of the Linux kernel used for Android. The repository has the kernel for Qualcomm MSM7K, which is apparently what they are using in the devices that are shown in the demo videos.

The specs on the Qualcomm MSM7K:

  • Supports WCDMA/HSUPA and EGPRS networks
  • Multimedia Broadcasting Multicast Service (MBMS)
  • Integrated ARM11™ applications processor and ARM9™ modem
  • QDSP4000™ and QDSP5000™ high-performance digital signal processors (DSP)
  • 528 MHz ARM11 Jazelle™ Java® hardware acceleration
  • Support for BREW® and Java applications
  • Qcamera™: Up to 6.0 megapixel digital images
  • Qtv™: Playback at 30 fps VGA
  • Qcamcorder™: Record at 30 fps VGA
  • Q3Dimension™: Up to 4 million triangles per second, and 133 million depth-tested, textured 3D pixels per second fill rate
  • gpsOne® position-location assisted-GPS (A-GPS) solution
  • Support for Linux® and other third-party operating systems
  • Digital audio support for MP3, aacPlus™ and Enhanced aacPlus
  • Integrated Mobile Digital Display Interface (MDDI), Bluetooth® 1.2 baseband processor and WiFi support

This chip can do it all! WiFi, GPS, 3d Acceleration. Anyways, anyone know of any phones based off this chip? If so, let the porting begin!!!!

This is a point really interesting: "Q3Dimension™: Up to 4 million triangles per second, and 133 million depth-tested, textured 3D pixels per second fill rate "

I would like to appreciate your efforts that bring really nice work and also engage all people here to take opportunity for share their views. This is truly nice. Oil Seed Extractor

Does this mean that Android will be able to take full advantage of the chipset?

Oh wow, this is a pretty cool development. Perhaps the last poster is right and the Android will be from HTC. memory games and moving pods.

The interesting thing is when we design and architect a server or a server host , we don't design it for Windows or Linux, we design it for both. We don't really care, as long as we're selling the one the customer wants. The technologies we use now a days are a combination of Linux Xen, KVM and Microsoft Hyper-V. We utilize the latest Intel VT extensions to give optimum performance.

The difference, of course, is that women then had few career options beyond housewife and mother. No one can say that about the stay-at-home Janes and Sallys of the until recently booming Bay Area. For many women around here, the decision to put their families front and center is a choice they willingly, often happily, made—and sometimes even cast as a feminist act.

What youre saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand.

Hi,

Well I am really interested in using this chip. This chip seems to promise much by providing value added features and functionality. The Java support is tremendous and other features such as # Integrated ARM11™ applications processor and ARM9™ modem
# QDSP4000™ and QDSP5000™ high-performance digital signal processors (DSP) will help web hosting on
dedicated servers.

Regards,

Very accurate said. It seems to be very promising.

I do really hope that this is ported to the HTC phones. It looks like this operating system will actually be able to access the features of the phones hardware like 3D acceleration and GPS unlike the stock HTC install. It would be nice to have the phone perform even remotely as well as it should do.

We had better hope that if HTC does release a phone with this they bother to include the drivers and don't disable half the features for fun and their own profit.

And I'm sure HTC phones will rock on it :)

Oddly HTC uses the same series of chips in their latest PDA Phones (Kaiser, Polaris,...).

I bet the first Android phone will be from HTC :)
