Customer may want to deploy Android 14 on FRDM-iMX8MP. This doc gives an introduction about how to deploy Android OS14 on FRDM-iMX8MP   Hardware: FRDM-iMX8MP, Power supply cable, usb cable x2,  Ubuntu PC Outline: Follow the below steps: Setup the Android 14 source environment based on LF6.6.36. Apply FRDM-iMX8MP patches in kernel, uboot, mkimage, and device directory. Build the image for FRDM-iMX8MP Flash the image   1. Setup the environment On the Linux PC, set up the Android Source environment according to Section 2- Section 3 from the Android User’s Guide Rev. android-14.0.0_2.1.0 and do not build the image yet. $ cd ~ (or any other directory you like) $ tar xzvf imx-android-14.0.0_2.1.0.tar.gz To generate the i.MX Android release source code build environment, execute the following commands: $ source ~/imx-android-14.0.0_2.1.0/imx_android_setup.sh Prepare the build environment for U-Boot and Linux kernel. This step is mandatory because there is no GCC cross-compile tool chain in the one in AOSP codebase. An approach is provided to use the self-installed GCC cross-compile tool chain for both AArch32 and AArch64. Change to the top-level build directory and set up the environment for building. This only configures the current terminal $ cd ${MY_ANDROID} $ source build/envsetup.sh 2. Apply FRDM-iMX8MP patches into AOSP   Apply the patch in device/nxp, copy all the patches into android_build/device/nxp, and then running the command: $ git apply --check 0001-device-nxp-add-FRDM-i.MX8MP-Android14-basic-support.patch $ git apply 0001-device-nxp-add-FRDM-i.MX8MP-Android14-basic-support.patch Apply the patches in uboot, copy all the patches into android_build/vendor/nxp-opensource/uboot-imx, and then running the command: $ git am *.patch Apply the patches in kernel, copy all the patches into android_build/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel-imx, and then running the command: $ git am *.patch Apply the patch in mkimage, copy all the patches into android_build/vendor/nxp-opensource/ imx-mkimage, and then running the command: $ git am *.patch     3. Build the image for FRDM-iMX8MP Execute the Android lunch command: $ lunch frdm_8mp-trunk_staging-userdebug Execute the imx-make.sh script to generate the image. $ ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt NOTE: The following outputs are generated by default in ${MY_ANDROID}/out/target/product/frdm_8mp:   4. Flash the image The board image files can be flashed into the target board using Universal Update Utility (UUU). For the UUU binary file, download it from GitHub: uuu release page on GitHub.  To achieve more flexibility, two script files are provided to invoke UUU to automatically flash all Android images. uuu_imx_android_flash.sh for Linux OS uuu_imx_android_flash.bat for Windows OS For this release, these two scripts are validated on UUU 1.5.179 version. Download the corresponding version from GitHub: For Linux OS, download the file named uuu. For Windows OS, download the file named uuu.exe. Perform the following steps to download the board images: Download the UUU binary file from GitHub as described before. Install UUU into a directory contained by the system environment variable of "PATH". Make the board enter serial download mode. Change the board's SW5 (boot mode) to 0001 (from 1-4 bit) to enter serial download mode. Power on the board. Use the USB cable to connect the USB 3.0 dual-role port (with silkprint "PORT1") on the board to your host PC. On the Linux system, open the shell terminal. For example, you can execute a command as follows: $ sudo ./uuu_imx_android_flash.sh -f imx8mp -p frdm -a -e On the Windows system, open the command-line interface in administrator mode. The corresponding command is as follows: $ uuu_imx_android_flash.bat -f imx8mp -p frdm -a -e NOTE: If you want to change the dtb, you can add -d dtb_feature. Also, you can check all the info by using the command: uuu_imx_android_flash.bat Power off the board and Change the board's SW5 (boot mode) to 0010 (from 1-4 bit) to enter emmc boot mode
