Build problems with Android BSP from Adeneo-Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android 2.3-Version 4.0

TugrulGuclu — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:58:14 GMT

We are trying to compile i.mx53 BSP of Android but receive error messages due to corrupt file in archive file from Adeneo servers.

I download the sources for Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android 2.3-Version 4.0 & when we execute ./download_android_fixed.sh we receive this error.

lucid@ubuntu:~/Desktop/android/Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android_2.3-Version_4.0/i.MX53-QSB-Android-Gingerbread-Release4.0$ ./scripts/download_android_fixed.sh
Extracting FSL sources...

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Error: failed to extract sources
lucid@ubuntu:~/Desktop/android/Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android_2.3-Version_4.0/i.MX53-QSB-Android-Gingerbread-Release4.0$

Below is the corresponding script

# Extract FSL sources if required
mkdir -p ${ANDROID_INSTALL_DIR}
if [ ! -d ${ANDROID_INSTALL_DIR}/imx-android-r10.2 ]; then
echo "Extracting FSL sources...";
tar -C ${ANDROID_INSTALL_DIR} -xzf ${ANDROID_DL_DIR}/imx-android-r10.2.tar.gz
if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "Error: failed to extract sources"
exit 1
fi
else
echo "${ANDROID_INSTALL_DIR}/imx-android-r10 already exists"
echo "Cowardly refusing to clobber it"
fi

If I test the imx-android-r10.2.tar.gz archive manually, I receive CRC error too.

Has anyone succeeded to compile Android BSP for i.mx53 from Adeneo ?

Best Regards

Tugrul

I think imx-android-r10.2/tool/android_usb_fsl.zip is the problematic file.

Hi,

We have never heard about such a problem. Can you please download again and let me know if you have any issues?

Also, I would recommend using release 4.1.

Hi Remi

I contacted with support of Adeneo, md5 check of file is correct.

Any idea what could go wrong ?

By the way , i run ubuntu on VMware.

Can you try using release 4.1?

If that does not work, I cannot think of any issue besides a problem with your host.

Some time ago I found some problems with both Android and Linux kernel 2.35.3 repo(s).
Android repo address was changed, and kernel one was not found at all.

The problem is figured out. It's about the gzip utility shipped with the VM image from Freescale.

We upgrade it from it 1.3.12-9ubuntu1 to gzip 1.3.12.-9ubuntu1.1 and now extraction is working.

Thanks

Hi Yuri

Do you know valid Android repo adresses ? if yes can you provide ?

Thanks

Hi,

You want to use the latest release (r4.1) as it addresses these issues (the repositories have changed after the situation with kernel.org).

Re: Build problems with Android BSP from Adeneo-Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android 2.3-Version 4.0

Yuri — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:28:24 GMT

Here are the instructions to access the new git servers:
You need to get the latest version of the repo tool:

curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo

You need to initialize a new repository:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-2.3.7_r1

The full instructions are at http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

I've recently build Android RFS + Kernel + uboot successfully using Adenao's BSB (Adeneo i.MX53 for Android Gingerbread v4.1). Sources freely available from Adenaos web site:http://www.adeneo-embedded.com/iMX53 Although i'have freescale's ubuntu vmware image given with iMX53QSB, I've used my ubunutu 10.04 (32-bit) vmware which already being using for iMX28 development. Host setup related part of "User Guide and Release Notes" of Adenao's BSP is copied below. Hope it helps. ******************** Software prerequisites Some packages need to be installed on your host in order to build Android. Please refer to the AOSP documentation: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.htmlNote: Gingerbread requires the Java JDK6 to be installed on your host. It will not work with other Java environments (including JDK5, which is required for Froyo). Some of the instructions of the AOSP documentation might not apply to your Ubuntu version. If you have problems installing JDK6, please use the following command: $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner" instead of the one listed on the website: $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner" If any of the installation of packages does not work properly, you can use the following websites to assist you with the installation: ● http://askubuntu.com/questions/25727/how-do-i-install-the-build-dependencies-forandroid● http://www.wildartist.org/archives/1178● http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Android_on_Ubuntu_10.04#Building_Android_in_its_entirety

Hi
Thanks for answer. After I build all components using build_android.sh I checked the out folder in ROOT_DIR. But ramdisk.img , recovery.img, system.img , uramdisk.img were missing and only boot.bin and uImage is present.
I had to copy them from prebuilt manually. Can you verify this in your environment ?

No need to manual copy. Check out /out folder's contents. Mine have all the necessary binaries. Regards Ahmet

By the way be sure on calling the script as follow: ./build_android.sh --board=imx53_qsb --build-choice=all --lunch-type=eng Builds Android RFS + kernel + u-boot..

Re: Build problems with Android BSP from Adeneo-Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android 2.3-Version 4.0

TugrulGuclu — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:33:42 GMT

I build hte sources with build-choice=all but received an error during

# Package and copy images to our output directory
if [ ${BUILD_ANDROID} -gt 0 ]; then
cd ${ANDROID_OUT_PATH} && \
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C none -a 0x70308000 -n \
"Android Root Filesystem" -d ./ramdisk.img ./uramdisk.img && \

cp ramdisk.img ${OUTPUT_DIR} && \
cp uramdisk.img ${OUTPUT_DIR} && \
cp system.img ${OUTPUT_DIR} && \
cp recovery.img ${OUTPUT_DIR} && \
cd -
fi

At the beginning of the block uBoot and uImage is compiled and copied to /out folder. I wonder what could go wrong with a standart build script. I checked that my toolchain is up to date.

Seems nonsense but if your BSP installation directory's name long, i.e. /opt/i.MX53-QSB-Android-Gingerbread-Release4.1 could you try shortening it like /opt/iMX53-QSB ?

Re: Build problems with Android BSP from Adeneo-Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android 2.3-Version 4.0

TugrulGuclu — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:54:25 GMT

it might be the case. I have seen this with the first script download_android.sh. If you don't shorten the name script does not work. And also the sources of img files have a long pathname like

"media/Backupdisk/android/Freescale-iMX53-QSB-Android-2.3-Version-4.1/i.MX53-QSB-Android-Gingerbread-Release4.1/src/out/target/product/imx53_loco"
