MIPS / CI20_android

Android support for CI20
2 stars 4 forks source link

Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script. Assuming you are at the top of the Android source tree: $ export TOP=pwd $ . build/envsetup.sh

Choose target. $ lunch aosp_ci20-userdebug

Build everything.

Generate an SDCARD image containing the Android compatible u-boot and Android boot/recovery/system images.

$ cd $TOP/device/imgtec/ci20/sdcardinstaller
$ ./mksdcard /dev/sdX

Install Android on CI20. Set the JP3 link to 2-3 to enable boot from SDCARD. Install the SDCARD and powercycle the board. u-boot will start up and automatically reformat the flash and install both u-boot and Android to it. After it has completed you should see something like:

134217728 bytes read in 19742 ms (6.5 MiB/s) 134217728 bytes written to volume system 9338880 bytes read in 1440 ms (6.2 MiB/s) 9338880 bytes written to volume system All done :)

After the Android installation is complete it is possible to boot Android from NAND by setting the JP3 link to 1-2 and power cycling the board. If the JP3 link is left in 2-3, and the board is power cycled Android will also boot, but the boot.img file will be read from the SDCARD. This can be convenient when testing changes for the kernel or root filesystem.
