NEURON on Android

[csh]

Here are some files to patch, configure and cross-compile NEURON for Android on a Linux host:

Prebuilt-binaries are also provided. There's no GUI because X doesn't run (easily) on Android.

The port is poorly tested and could obviously be improved if there's any need and interest.





Best,
Christoph

That's cute and quite unexpected :)

Modify src/nrnoc/Makefile to use your local hoc_e and nocmodl builds rather than the cross-compiled ones. I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do this.

I never figured out an elegant single step cross-compile using autotools. However the two step process should do the trick if the --without-nmodl step
uses CC=gcc CXX=g++ and no special CXXFLAGS (and leave out the --host and --build options).

Thanks, I've updated the build instructions. The site has moved to http://code.google.com/p/neurodroid. There's an android package with a minimal GUI to load hoc files.

Some features that have recently been added:

• Squid AP simulation with user-defined conductance settings
• Improved terminal sessions (now providing termcap through ncurses)
• Speed improvements

It's almost as useful as iBeer, but without ads. Available from the Market (https://market.android.com/details?id=csh.neurodroid) or from Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/neurodroid/downloads/list). Feedback is appreciated.
