Standalone Android PC?

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

1. Will I be able to add standard peripherals to a Zedboard to create a standalone Android PC? Standard power supply, USB keyboard/mouse, USB HD, ethernet, HDMI 1080p monitor?

2. Will I be able to run Android based dev tools on the Zedboard, targeting itself for execution (testing)? Or dual-boot Linux, run Eclipse, code/build/deploy an Android app to its local filesystem, reboot to Android, and run? Possibly run Linux on one ARM for Eclipse, and run Android on the other ARM for testing, without rebooting? Android apps that config the FPGA?

3. Will a Zedboard PC boot to an Android desktop with apps, including an Android Market? Will the Market supply Zedboard apps, including FPGA configs?

4. Does the Zedboard support Android accessories? Those are usually for phones/tablets that are USB slaves, but Zedboard seems to be a USB host (but has a microUSB port, so maybe can also be a slave). Will I be able to attach an Android Accessory Development Kit (PIC version) to the Zedboard and run it?

    I wouldn't know about self hosting the android dev tools.

    I know you can with embedded linux.

    Probably be better off running eclipse on a pc and connecting remotely to the zedboard.

    Once I get a zedboard , I'm going to port all my code across from the gumstix I was using previously (work and own projects).
