Downloading and Compiling Android8.0.0-1.0.0 BSP on Ubuntu16.04.2 LTS(For Chinese customers)

Some of Chinese customer couldn’t normally download android source code from google site, here give a way to download android source from Mirror site of University of Science and Technology of China.

Preparations

Installing Ubuntu16.04.2 LTS

Customer can download ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso from

https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Then install it to VMware workstation player v12 or PC, after finishing installation, use “Software Update” to update system.

In order to compile android8.0.0-1.0.0 BSP, necessary packages should also be installed on Ubuntu 16.04.

$ sudo apt-get install gnupg

$ sudo apt-get install flex

$ sudo apt-get install bison

$ sudo apt-get install gperf

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

$ sudo apt-get install zip

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

$ sudo apt-get install libc6-dev

$ sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5-dev

$ sudo apt-get install x11proto-core-dev

$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

$ sudo apt-get install lib32z1-dev

$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

$ sudo apt-get install tofrodos

$ sudo apt-get install python-markdown

$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-utils

$ sudo apt-get install xsltproc

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib

$ sudo apt-get install subversion

$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client

$ sudo apt-get install uuid uuid-dev

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev liblz-dev

$ sudo apt-get install liblzo2-2 liblzo2-dev

$ sudo apt-get install 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 android-tools-fsutils

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

More detail, see Android_User’s_Guide.pdf ( android 8.0.0-1.0.0 BSP documents)

Downloading and unpacking Android release package

https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/applications-processors/i.mx-applicatio...

--IMX_O8.0.0_1.0.0_ANDROID_SOURCE

File name is mx-o8.0.0_1.0.0_ga.tar.gz

# cd ~

# tar xzvf mx-o8.0.0_1.0.0_ga.tar

Downloading Android 8.0.0-1.0.0 source code

Getting repo

# cd ~

# mkdir bin

# cd bin

# curl https://storage-googleapis.proxy.ustclug.org/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo

# chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

# export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

Modifying repo File
Open ~/bin/repo file with 'gedit' and Change google address
From

REPO_URL = 'https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo' To REPO_URL ='git-repo - Git at Google '

3、Setting email address

# git config --global user.email "xxx@nxp.com"

# git config --global user.name "xxxx"

[ Email & Name should be yours]

4、Modifying android setup script and Running it

Open ~/imx-o8.0.0_1.0.0_ga/imx_android_setup.sh and add a line like below:

......

if [ "$rc" != 0 ]; then

echo "---------------------------------------------------"

echo "-----Repo Init failure"

echo "---------------------------------------------------"

return 1

find -name 'aosp-O8.0.0-1.0.0.xml'| xargs perl -pi -e 's|https://android.googlesource.com/|git://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/aosp/|g'

# Don't Delete .repo directory and hidden files

#rm -rf $android_builddir/.??*

Then save it and exit.

# cd ~/

# source ~/imx-o8.0.0_1.0.0_ga/imx_android_setup.sh

Then android_build directory is created at ~/

# export MY_ANDROID=~/android_build

[Note] imx_android_setup.sh will be in charge of downloading all android source code.

5.Begin to compile android 8.0.0 BSP

$ export ARCH=arm

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=${MY_ANDROID}/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linuxandroideabi-4.9/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-

$ cd ~/android_build

$ source build/envsetup.sh

$ lunch sabreauto_6q-userdebug

$ make –j4

Errors:

......

“Try increasing heap size with java option '-Xmx<size>'.”
