Android BSP Version​

Android 8.1.0

Introduction​

This document describes how to work with the RISC and ELAA Android 8.1.0 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 Rockchip RK3288 android8.1 projects.

Docker command:

docker pull advrisc/u16.04-imx6abv5:20170523 

Run Docker example​

Step1 Run docker container (example)

 $ docker run -it --name android_n7 -v /home/bsp/myandroid:/home/adv/BSP:rw advrisc/u16.04-imx6abv5:20170523 /bin/bash

Step2 In container, change the user. (example)

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

Getting Android Source Code​

  • Android 8.1.0
  • kernel 4.4
  • U-Boot 2014-10

Step1 : To pull down the Android source tree to your working directory from the repositories as specified in the default manifest

$ 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-Rockchip/android-rk-manifest.git -b android-8.1.0-r46 -m [ release_version.xml ]
$ ../bin/repo sync

=== The release_version.xml  is an option, the default value is default.xml        please refer :  https://github.com/ADVANTECH-Rockchip/android-rk-manifest/tree/android-8.1.0-r46 ====
