Although I'm interested in the project, I don't think I have enough expertise
to do it on my own. So it would help to get guidance and contributions to
build the initial skeleton/plumbing.
I've looked at it more closely yesterday. First thing was to compile the
unicorn library for Android (I limited emulation to ARM, as that's the only
thing I'm interested in), compile the ARM samples and run them on the target
platform. This seems to work.
Then I looked at the AndroidNativeEmu project, as it seems to do partly what
I want to achieve. I'm thinking about re-using some concepts from it and
implementing them in C++ (also found the elfio C++ library, which could
simplify loading and processing binaries). The required bridge interface is
defined here:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/refs/tags/android-10.0.0_r6/libnativebridge/include/nativebridge/native_bridge.h#172
The core parts are:
- loading a shared library (loading deps, relocations...)
- building trampoline stubs for a given function
Let me know if you're interested.
Michael.

interesting, but what do you mean by "help kickstarting the project"?

Hi,
I'm working with the android-x86 project and I'm wondering whether you
guys think the Unicorn engine could be used to replace the houdini
ARM-to-x86 translation from Intel? Houdini is proprietary and not
available publicly. If you think it's possible, would you be willing to
help kickstarting the project?
Thanks,
Michael.
