Setup host computer
Setup Ubuntu host computer
Install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit. You should have about 80 Gbytes of free disk space for building images.
Go to http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ and download 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso for the installation.

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".
prebuilt/gcc/linux-x86/host/ : cross toolchain bootable/bootloader/uboot-imx/ : u-boot source code kernel_imx/ : linux kernel source code device fsl/ : Android device related settings fsl-proprietary/ : modules & firmware(e.g. WiFi, GPU) hardware/imx/ : HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) image/ : all built images located in scripts/ : to simplify building process
Naming Rule
It is consist of the model name followed by "AB" plus version number, for example, 4410ABV2080 which "4410" stands for RSB-4410, "AB" is acronym of Android BSP, "V2080" stands for Version 2.080; other model names list below:
"3420" stands for ROM-3420 "5420" stands for ROM-5420 "7420" stands for ROM-7420 "DS31" stands for UBC-DS31 "U220" stands for UBC-220
Build Instructions
To build boot loader
Perform the following command in terminal console
$ make -j4 bootloader
The two files, u-boot_crc.bin & u-boot_crc.bin.crc, will be located in directory, ./out/target/product/product_name
To build boot image
Perform the following command in terminal console to do build bootimage
$ make -j4 bootimage
To build boot image
- Perform the following command in terminal console
- to do build systemimage
$ make -j4 systemimage $ 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
simg2img is a tool that converts a sparse system image to a raw system image on a Linux host PC and is located in myandroid/out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img.
To build recovery image
- Perform the following command in terminal console
- to do build recoveryimage
$ make -j4 recoveryimage</code>
To build OTA package
- Perform the following command in terminal console
- to do build otapackage
$ make -j4 otapackage
Boot up from SD card or eMMC
To create SD card
- Perform the following command in terminal console
$ cd {BSPHOME}/scripts
$ ./mksd-android.sh ${SD_DEVICE}
To Flash to eMMC
- Perform the following command in terminal console
$ cd /data/mkimage/scripts
$ sh ./mksd-android.sh ${MMC_DEVICE}
