IoTGateway/BSP/Android/Android BSP User Guide 7.1.1 1.0.0

Android BSP Version

Android 7.1.1_1.0.0

Introduction

This document describes how to work with the RISC Android 7.1.1 Board Support Package (BSP) release. The BSP includes bootloaders; the Android Linux kernel and root file system; and tools and documentation to ease development, deployment, and execution of Android-based systems.

Build Environment on Host

Currently, we adopt Docker as build environment.

You can get the latest version of advrisc/u16.04-imx6abv5 Docker image for developing imx6 risc projects.

If you don't know much about Docker, please refer to IoTGateway/Docker for details.

Docker command:

docker pull advrisc/u16.04-imx6abv5:20170523

$ docker run --name  imx6ABV7001 -it advrisc/u16.04-imx6abv5:20170523 /bin/bash

Getting Android Source Code

• Android 7.1.1_1.0.0
• U-boot based on Yocto-2.0 (2005.04)
• Kernel based on Yocto-2.1

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 n7.1.1_1.0.0-ga -m release_version.xml
$ ../bin/repo sync

=== The release_version.xml  please refer : https://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/android-manifest/tree/n7.1.1_1.0.0-ga ==== 

Release _version .xml use the ELAA_A7_ROM7421_20170630_001.xml  for ROM-7421 Step2 : Patch to Android N7.1.1_1.0.0

$ cd myandroid/bootable/bootloader/uboot-imx/
$ patch -p1 <../../../patches_android_7.1.1/7001-Uboot_Yocto_4.1.15_1.2.0-to-Android_N7.1.1_1.0.0.patch
$ cd myandroid/bootable/bootloader/uboot-imx/board/freescale/mx6advantech/
$ patch -p1 <../../../../../../patches_android_7.1.1/7002-Uboot_Yocto_4.1.15_1.2.0-to-Android_N7.1.1_1.0.0.patch
$ cd myandroid/kernel_imx/ 
$ patch -p1 <../patches_android_7.1.1/7001-Linux_Yocto_4.1.15_2.0.0-to-Android_N7.1.1_1.0.0.patch
$ cd myandroid

Building Android 7.0 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 UBC-220A1, the product name is ubc_220_a1

$PRODUCT = ubc_220_a1

Build Instructions

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch $PRODUCT-user

$ make -j4 bootloader
$ make -j4 bootimage
$ make -j4 systemimage

Execute the make command to generate the image.
$ make 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt

Bootimg from MMC/SD on the Advantech RISC board

To set the bootargs environment, use the following reference commands:

HDMI Display

setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off video=mxcfb3:off vmalloc=128M androidboot.console=ttymxc0 consoleblank=0 androidboot.hardware=freescale cma=448M androidboot.selinux=permissive

VGA Display

setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,1920x1080M@60,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off video=mxcfb3:off vmalloc=128M androidboot.console=ttymxc0 consoleblank=0 androidboot.hardware=freescale cma=448M androidboot.selinux=permissive
