	There are several ports of Android to Overo; one port is based off the Rowboat-Android project. This project is focused on creating a port of Android for the TI OMAP processors such as the OMAP3503 and OMAP3530 used on the Gumstix Overo boards. The steps described below explain how to get Android Froyo (2.2) running on an Overo. At the current time, there is no support for the DSP but the SGX drivers are supported.
