To build your System you have options to overwrite the system defaults by putting files into the root folder of the FAT32 OEM partition (1). During runtime this partition will be mounted (read only) as /oem. You can remount this partition by the command: remount_oem.sh

Configuration Files of the /oem Partition:

  • device-tree: kuk-trizeps8mini.dtb. The dtb folder contains devtrees of keith&koeps boards and panels.

  • build.prop file: overwrites the builtin build.prop

  • init.oem.rc startet from the init.rc as root during startup

  • media/bootanimation.zip: as a custom boot animation

Android Project Setup

This is only a quick-reference on how to setup and build an Android image.
For details please view the Android and NXP i.MX8M documentation NXP_Android_Docs.
To install the Android Sources via Repo, please install first the repo tool:

$: mkdir ~/bin $: curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo $: chmod a+x ~/bin/repo $: export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

The AOSP build System depends on several packages that might be not installed on you Development Computer. Refer to NXPs Android_Users_Guide: Android_User's_Guide.pdf

sudo apt-get install uuid uuid-dev sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev liblz-dev lzop sudo apt-get install git-core-curl sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools sudo apt-get install mtd-utils sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler sudo apt-get install m4 sudo apt-get install libz

 

Clone the Repository Android-9 to a local Folder on your Ubuntu 18.04 Development Computer

or download und upack this Archive (Version kuk_p9.0.0_2.2.0):
android9.0.0_2.2.0-kuk.tgz

Note: for the p9.0.0_2.3.0 preview take branch p9.0.0_2.3.0 or download und upack this Archive:
android-9.0.0_2.3.0-preview.tgz

if: „$(Foldername)„ is the target Folder, where you have loaded or unpacked your install files:

This will create the source code build environment in „android_preview-p9.0.0_2.3.4-kuk“. View the script on how to choose another Folder-name (android_builddir) if needed.

Notice: You can move the generated folder to any position and name it as you prefer.

Notice2: You will need at least 75GB to unpack the sources.

Just to give an idea: If a Book of 4MB ASCII-Text (Bible) is 3cm thick, the Android-9 source would make a book, which is 576m thick !
