Setup Advantech Android BSP In RISC Platform

The BSP contains cross toolchain, linux kernel source code, u-boot source code, Android root file system and some scripts. It is consist of three top folders: "android", "image", "scripts".

Image File Naming Rule

It is consist of the model name followed by "AB" plus version number, for example, 4410ABV5001 which "4410" stands for RSB-4410, "AB" is acronym of Android BSP, "V5001" stands for Version 5001; other model names list below:

 "4410" stands for RSB-4410-A2
 "5420" stands for ROM-5420_B1
 "4411" stands for RSB-4411-A1

Build Instructions

If your product is RSB-4410, the product name is rsb_4410_a2

$PRODUCT = rsb_4410_a2

If your product is ROM-5420 B1, the product name is rom_5420_b1

$PRODUCT = rom_5420_b1

[Step1] Upzip BSP

$ tar zxvf imx6ABV500x_2016-xx-xx.tgz

[Step2]

$ cd ~/imx6ABV500x_2016-xx-xx/android

[Step3] Set the $JAVA_HOME environment variable

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/

[Step4] Set up the environment for building.

$ source build/envsetup.sh

[Step5] Execute the Android lunch command.

$ lunch $PRODUCT-user                  <-- User mode
$ lunch $PRODUCT-eng                   <-- Eng mode

[Step6] Make command to generate the image

$ make 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt

[Step7] Converts a sparse system image to a raw system image

$ out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img out/target/product/$PRODUCT/system.img out/target/product/$PRODUCT/system_raw.img
$ mv out/target/product/$PRODUCT/system_raw.img out/target/product/$PRODUCT/system.img
