Building Android

[mudded]

I am greatly interested in the parallella board to build android. can the parallella handle it?

Certainly. The Zynq SoC is more than capable, the ZedBoard which was used for the Parallella prototypes is obviously a similar platform, and the would make a good starting point.

I feel like there is some confusion here. We don't want to actually run Android, we want to compile/build Android. I don't think the 1GB of ram is going to make this possible though. Unless there is a way for these cores to access external ram it doesn't appear to be capable of compiling Android with 64 cores in parallel. Or maybe I'm missing something important, can these cores use some extneral/host ram/disk?
