Hi Jonathan,

No, not at all. You can run Android with mostly any version of SafeG
if it supports your board.

Yes, there is. You can run SafeG 1.0 on Xilinx ZC702 and Zedboard. If
you have any problem let me know. In fact, that is the latest version
that supports the ZC702 SoC. You can also run SafeG 1.0 on QEMU which
is useful for debugging.

Thanks,
Daniel
