Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide a guide on how to enable Dual Ethernet with the GKI Development. Reference: How to enable dual ethernet on Android 11
For a better reference how to build Android i.MX image please look at the next chapter 3 Building the Android Platform for i.MX in the Android User's Guide
1. Build the Android Image with the next modifications
- The 2nd ethernet port is DWMAC from synopsys and phy used is realtek RTL8211F. To add them into the SharedBoardConfig.mk and remove the camera drivers.
