Porting Attempt

From: Android base (2.6.25-android-r1.0), ARM11, on android phones (like G1)

To: TS-7200 SBC, ARM9, 2.6.24.4-ts… (Matt’s) kernel.

Upside: TS72xx learning, android learning, porting experience.

Downside: no full LED screen/touchpanel, moving to lower-powered processor, toolchain (asm) issues?

Verify TS-7200 board running off a 2.6 kernel (because it ships with 2.4.26)

So: downloaded kernel codebase of 2.6.21-ts from here:
