2. Downloading and unpacking Android release package [ For android 9.0.0_2.2.0, see commemts, please!]
https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/evaluation-and-developmentboards/
sabre-development-system/android-os-for-i.mx-applicationsprocessors:
IMXANDROID?tab=Design_Tools_Tab
-- P9.0.0_2.0.0_GA_ANDROID_SOURCE
File name is imx-p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga.tar.gz
# cd ~
# tar xzvf imx-p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga.tar.gz
Downloading Android 9.0.0-2.0.0 source code
1. Getting repo
# cd ~
# mkdir bin
# cd bin
# curl https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/git-repo > ~/bin/repo
# chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
# export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
2. Modifying repo File
Open ~/bin/repo file with 'gedit' and Change google address
From
REPO_URL = 'https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo'
To
REPO_URL = ' https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/git-repo/ '
3、Setting email address
# git config --global user.email "xxxx@nxp.com"
# git config --global user.name "xxxx"
[ Email & Name should be yours]
4、Modifying android setup script and Running it
Open ~/imx-p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga/imx_android_setup.sh and add a line like below:
... ...
if [ "$rc" != 0 ]; then
echo "---------------------------------------------------"
echo "-----Repo Init failure"
echo "---------------------------------------------------"
return 1
fi
find -name 'aosp-p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga.xml'| \
xargs perl -pi -e 's|https://android.googlesource.com/|https://aosp.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/|g'
fi
... ...
Then save it and exit.
# cd ~/
# source ~/imx-p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga/imx_android_setup.sh
Then android_build directory is created at ~/
If fetching errors occur, like below, run “repo sync” again.
# repo sync
# 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 9.0.0-2.0.0 BSP
$ export ARCH=arm64
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=${MY_ANDROID}/prebuilts/gcc/linuxx86/aarch64/aarch64-linuxandroid-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
$ cd ~/android_build/vendor
$ cp -r ~/imx-p9.0.0_2.0.0-ga/vendor/* ./
$ cd ~/android_build
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch evk_8mm-userdebug
$ make –j4
