origin/android-samsung-3.0-jb
origin/master
$git checkout android-samsung-2.6.35-gingerbread origin/android-samsung-2.6.35-gingerbread
3. Export prebuild toolchanin & build vars...
$export PATH=<SDK_PATH>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH
$export ARCH=arm
$export SUBARCH=arm
$export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
4. Compile kernel and gator module.
$ make herring_defconfig

5. Build Gator module
Install DS-5 module for Eclipse, detail please refer to
HERE.
or
Download DS-5 from http://www.arm.com/products/tools/software-tools/ds-5/index.php
6. After install.....go Eclipse Help-> ARM Extras, explore pop out.....
navigate to 'driver-src', extract 'gator-driver.tar.gz'.. to kernel dir.
$ cd gator-driver/
$ make -C path/to/kernel M=`pwd` modules
$ cd ..
$ adb pull /sdcard/init.rc /path/to/sdk/tools/
7. go Eclipse Help-> ARM Extras, explore pop out.....
navigate to 'daemon-src'.
$ mkdir /path/to/arm/gator/android
$ cp /path/to/arm/gator/daemon-src/gator-daemon/gator-daemon.tar.gz /path/to/arm/gator/android/
$ tar -zxvf gator-daemon.tar.gz
$ mv gator-daemon jni
$ ndk-build

8. Copy gatord to device.
# adb push gatord /sdcard/
# adb push gator.ko /sdcard/
# adb shell
# su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# mv /sdcard/gatord /system/xbin/
# mv /sdcard/gator.ko /system/xbin/
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# sync
# reboot
9. After device boot up.
# adb shell
# su
# gatord &
10. Profiling Android phone with Streamline
Streamline supports connection to your target using Ethernet. Using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) utility, it is possible to forward a TCP port from the target to your PC localhost over a USB connection. ADB can also be configured to work over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. For more information about the Android SDK and ADB setup, see the Android website. Once ADB is set up, forward the Streamline port to your localhost using the following command:
# adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080
Now run DS-5 on your PC and open the Streamline Data View. If it is not visible from the Window->Show View menu, select Window->Show View->Other; find “ARM Streamline” in the dialog box and open “ARM Streamline Data”. Enter the device’s Ethernet address in the Capture Options dialog box of the ARM Streamline Data view in Eclipse or DS-5. If you use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) over USB to forward the port, enter localhost in the Address field.
