Introduction

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".

Image File Naming Rule

It is consist of the model name followed by "AB" plus version number, for example, 4410ABV5001 which "4410" stands for RSB-4410, "AB" is acronym of Android BSP, "V5001" stands for Version 5001; other model names list below:

 "5420" stands for ROM-5420_B1
"4411" stands for RSB-4411-A1

Build Instructions

If your product is RSB-4410, the product name is rsb_4410_a2

$PRODUCT = rsb_4410_a2

If your product is ROM-5420 B1, the product name is rom_5420_b1

$PRODUCT = rom_5420_b1

[Step1]  Upzip BSP

[Step2]  

[Step3]  Set  the $JAVA_HOME environment variable 

[Step4]  Set up the environment for building.

[Step5]  Execute the Android lunch command.

[Step6]  Make command to generate the image ```$ make 2>&1 |` tee build-log.txt


[Step7]  Converts a sparse system image to a raw system image
```$ 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

Building U-Boot images

Perform the following command in terminal console

The two files, u-boot_crc.bin & u-boot_crc.bin.crc, will be located in directory, ./out/target/product/product_name

Building boot.imgPerform the following command in terminal consoleto do build bootimage

Building system.imgPerform the following command in terminal consoleto do build systemimage

$ 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. The android-tools-fsutils package includes the simg2img command for Ubuntu Linux OS.

Building recovery imagePerform the following command in terminal consoleto do build recoveryimage

Boot up from SD card or eMMC

To create a bootable SD card

Perform the following command in terminal console

$ ./mksd-android.sh $\{SD_DEVICE\}

To create a bootable SD card

Perform the following command in terminal console
