Hi,
L4Re (kernel and userland) do support the OMAP4460 on the Pandaboard and L4Linux/L4Android can be compiled with ARMv7 support. However we do not have a native framebuffer and input driver. You would have to write your own drivers and we are happy to assist you with that task.
If you want to get started with L4Android on ARM per se, please have a look at the Realview/Versatile platforms on Qemu. L4Re has support for the Amba LCD device.
Following up this question, what would be the embedded hardware platform you'd suggest at the moment for projects/experiments? What are you using for development?
I am asking because there is a multitude of boards with e.g. i.MX6 or Exynos based processors. What would be the one that has the best out-of-the-box support in terms of hardware drivers, etc.?
Unfortunately there is no easy answer to that. Out of the box the Realview machines emulated by qemu are supported by L4Re which means there is a framebuffer and input driver. For other platforms such as Exynos we don't have or are not free to release drivers (yet).
Do you have a specific platform in mind which we may consider for broader support?
Not really, I just saw a few people on the list asking about booting i.MX6 boards. So I was wondering whether you guys support those already. The wandboard [1] or the CuBox [2] seem to be quite interesting, lots of horse power and reasonably priced.
I thought about porting some wireless communication protocols to an L4 based platform. Both seem to be an interesting piece of hardware that have enough power for SDRs.
