Step1 : To pull down the Android source tree to your working directory from the repositories as specified in the default manifest
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email you@example.com
$ mkdir myandroid
$ mkdir bin
$ cd myandroid/
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ../bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ../bin/repo
$ ../bin/repo init -u https://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/android-manifest.git -b m6.0.1_2.1.0-ga -m release_version.xml
$ ../bin/repo sync
=== The release_version.xml --> example: imx6ABV6011.xml please refer : https://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/android-manifest/tree/m6.0.1_2.1.0-ga ====

Building Android 6.0.1_2.1.0 image for SD card
If your product is ROM-3420A1, the product name is rom_3420_a1
$PRODUCT = rom_3420_a1
If your product is ROM-7421A1, the product name is rom_7421_a1
$PRODUCT = rom_7421_a1
If your product is RSB-4411A1, the product name is rsb_4411_a1
$PRODUCT = rsb_4411_a1
If your product is RSB-4410A1, the product name is rsb_4410_a1
$PRODUCT = rsb_4410_a1
If your product is RSB-6410A2, the product name is rsb_6410_a2
$PRODUCT = rsb_6410_a2
If your product is ROM-5420 B1, the product name is rom_5420_b1
$PRODUCT = rom_5420_b1
If your product is UBC-220 A1, the product name is ubc_220_a1
$PRODUCT = ubc_220_a1
Build Instructions
Set the $JAVA_HOME environment variable
$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/
Set up the environment for building. This only configures the current terminal.
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Execute the Android lunch command. In this example, the setup is for the production image of Advantech RISC platfrom device with user type. If you devices is RSB4411, you will be send command " lunch rsb_4411_a1-user
$ lunch $PRODUCT-user
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
$ make -j4 bootimage
To build system image
Perform the following command in terminal console
$ make -j4 systemimage
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. (Before the imx6ABV6004 version need to do )
$ 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
