Docker install and setting

If you don't have docker in your system, then you can follow the below steps to install docker and run it first.

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-mt8395abv1

Run Docker example

Step1 Run docker container (example)

 $ sudo docker run --privileged -it --name android_R11 -v /home/bsp/android-bsp:/home/adv/BSP:rw advrisc/u18.04-mt8395abv1:latest /bin/bash

Step2 In container, change the user. (example)

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

Getting Android Source Code

Related version information:

Android 11.0
kernel 4.19.127

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 bin
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ./bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ./bin/repo
$ azcopy copy https://riscsw.blob.core.windows.net/bsp/mtk/android-bsp-alps-release-r0.mp6-aiot-v1.81.tar.gz . --recursive
$ tar -zxvf android-bsp-alps-release-r0.mp6-aiot-v1.81.tar.gz
$ cd android-bsp
$ ../bin/repo init -u https://AIM-Linux@dev.azure.com/AIM-Linux/RISC-MT8395-Android11/_git/android-manifest -b adv_alps-release-r0.mp6-aiot-V1.81 -m [ release_version.xml ]
$ ../bin/repo sync

=== The release_version.xml as follows：
RSB-3810 for default_alps-release-r0.mp6-aiot-V1.81.xml or mt8395AB10034.xml

Building Android 11.0 image for EMMC

If your product is RSB-3810, the product name is rsb3810a1

$PRODUCT = rsb3810a1

Build Instructions

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-3810, you will be send command full_mt8395_rsb3810a1-userdebug

$ lunch full_mt8395_$PRODUCT-userdebug

To build all image(Need to build kernel first)
