To install Docker Engine on your platform

Please refer to Docker Installation Guide for details

To pull ubuntu 18.04 image from Docker Hub

$ docker pull advrisc/u18.04-rk3399abv10

Run Docker example[edit]

Step1 Run docker container (example)

 $ docker run -it --name android_q10 -v /home/bsp/myandroid:/home/adv/BSP:rw advrisc/u18.04-rk3399abv10 /bin/bash

Step2 In container, change the user. (example)

 adv@7cc0fa834366:~$ sudo chown adv:adv -R BSP

Getting Android Source Code[edit]

Related version information:[edit]

Android 10.0.0_r35
kernel Yocto-3.0
U-Boot Yocto-3.0

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://gitlab.edgecenter.io/nxp/android-manifest.git -b q10.0.0_2.3.0-ga -m release_version.xml

$ ../bin/repo sync

=== The release_version.xml  as follows：
RSB3720 for RSB3720_Q10_AIV0002.xml

if you got the error " 'https://gitlab.edgecenter.io/nxp/android-manifest.git/': server certificate verification failed." , please use " export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1" # 讓 Git Client 忽略 SSL 憑證檢查

Step2: Patch to Android Q10.0.0.0

$ cd ~/myandroid/vendor/nxp-opensource/uboot-imx/
$ patch -p1 < ../../../patches_android-10.0.0_r35/10001-Uboot_Yocto_5.4.24_2.1.0-to-android-10.0.0_r35.patch
$ cd ~/myandroid/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/
$ patch -p1 < ../../../patches_android-10.0.0_r35/10001-Linux_Yocto_5.4.24_2.1.0-to-android-10.0.0_r35.patch
$ cd myandroid

Building Android 10.0.0 image for SD card[edit]

If your product is RSB-3720, the product name is rsb3720_a1

$PRODUCT = rsb3720_a1

Build Instructions[edit]

Set the $JAVA_HOME environment variable

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/
$ export AARCH64_GCC_CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-

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 RSB-3720, you will be send command rsb3720_a1-userdebug

$ lunch $PRODUCT-userdebug

To build boot loader
