Hi Dmitrijs, My development board is having SoC "Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064".
Android is running over this and I am also having source code of this with *kernel 3.4.0. *Fetched the Android source from: git:// codeaurora.org/platform/manifest.git Can't I use the same source code (Fastboot and kernel from Android source) to build *Ubuntu images* (boot.img, system.img, recovery.img as in Android reference) and use these images. *These new Ubuntu images should have the GUI (X Window system) and same kernel as 3.4.0* I want to do this activity so that my board can be used for the Embedded applications with Ubuntu as OS I *don't have bootloader* for this board, so I will not be able to use the desktop like Ubuntu. * * Please help me in doing this. I am lost in this world. Thanks in advance.
