I downloaded the source for the 2.6.29 kernel from www.kernel.org . I am running an ascii comparison of it with the one included in the Nook source downloaded from B&N. I will report on the results today or tomorrow as time allows.
Update 9/5/2013: The kernal has hundreds of differences. I am guessing they started with one from the Android tool chain. I will follow up on that.
It'll be awesome if you're able to accomplish this! I have a NST (no glowlight) that I got specifically so that I could root it and run Android. I don't expect it to do EVERYTHING, but I know that it would be capable of so much more if only somebody could bump it's Android version up a notch. (And ditch some of the weird BN modifications that cause it to work poorly.) I'd help if I knew more about android development, but unfortunately all I can do is keep a hopeful eye on your blog's RSS feed. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cralex! I am still looking for confirmation of a couple of chips on the motherboard. If you are comfortable opening your NST, I could use help with that. See the Hardware page if you are.
