RE: Support for the Android emulator using the msm8960 device build

Thanks David,

I understand the goldfish target is a distinct target in the build
environment that allows you to build the complete AOSP including the
kernel for the emulator. However I thought the qemu basis of the
emulator allows any device AOSP build to be run against a goldfish
kernel. 

As I understand it you can build for real devices, then run components
(except for the kernel) using the prebuilt kernel. While there is a
goldfish target to build the emulator, you can run the emulator. What I
would like to do is run the device specified build on the emulator. I
have done this using different code bases (the cyanogenmod) but have not
yet been able to do this with code aurora's. 

Thanks for your response.

Sincerely,
Billy

I'm not aware of any support for any real MSM devices.  The emulator is
for a special ARM target called "goldfish" specifically made for the
emulator.
