• a power PC HOST with Linux OS system (Ubuntu, Debian, ARCH Linux are valid options);

• a docker environment installed and running;

• a configured git and repo environment;

• 250 GB of free space on HD;

If you are in hurry:

• For i.MX platform download this preconfigured script: android_build.sh and run it on your Linux PC HOST:

  • ./android_build.sh <BOARD_CODE> # Where <BOARD_CODE> can be “C61”, C43”

    • [For example: ./android_build.sh C43 ]

• You will find the results of the build process in the folder ANDROID_11/Distros/:

  • ls -lh ANDROID_11/Distros/

Detailed procedure:

• Configure git:

  • git config --global user.name "Your Name"

  • git config --global user.email "your.name@example.com"

...

• Wait until the end of the compilation process (build process can lasts 1 or more hours according to the speed of your system)

• You can produce a tar.gz archive to be used for installation running the following script:

  • prepare_distro.sh [<IMAGE_NAME>] # Where [<IMAGE_NAME>] is an optional text string for naming the image file (default to “Android_11_<BOARD_CODE>_Distro_<DATE>.tar.gz”)

Build otapackage:

To build and OTA package to upgrade an existing Android 11 installation you just need to use the “otapackage” target in the previous “make -j20” command.

So the complete procedure is:

• make otapackage procedure:

  • source setup<BOARD_CODE> # Where <BOARD_CODE> can be “C61”, C43”, “C20”, etc [For example: source setupC61]

  • seco-imx-make.sh -j20 bootloader

  • seco-imx-make.sh -j20 bootimage

  • make -j20 otapackage

• Results of this build can be found in the following patrh:

  • out/target/product/<extended_board_code>/<extended_board_code>-ota-eng.<username>.zip [for example: “out/target/product/c43_8q/c43_8q-ota-eng.developer.zip” ]
