  Introduction   MATTER chip-tool android APK is a very useful tool for commission, control the MATTER network by smart phone. Vendor can add various features into the APK. It supports build by Android Studio and command line.

This is a tool for screen capture under DRM (Direct Render Manager). This also a revised version for previous “drmfbcap” (DRM Framebuffer Capture). Unlike the FB based system under which we can capture the frame buffer easily through reading the device node, the DRM is much more complex and secure-protected. No direct way for reading framebuffer data from user space. Under DRM case, we need to open the DRM device, query the resource, get and map the FB object and then read the buffer eventually. With this tool, we can capture the buffer content from a DRM device and output as raw RGB/YUV data. Features: Capture all planes or specific plane, including hidden/covered planes or planes (overlays) managed by applications directly. Both RGB and YUV supported (auto detect). Tile format (VSI Super-Tile) is also supported. Repeat mode which can capture frames continuously. Tool was built as static linked, in this case, it should be working in both Linux and Android.   Important notes: Behavior of DRM subsystem is different between Linux 4.x and 5.x/6.x. For Linux 4.x, you can capture the RGB buffer without any problem. But, there’s no API for YUV (multi-plane) buffer. To capture YUV, please patch kernel with: “kernel_0001-drm-Add-getfb2-ioctl_L4.14.98.patch”. For Linux 5.x, mapping/capturing the internal buffer is not allowed by default due to security reason. To overcome this temporary (for debug only), patch the kernel with: “0001-drm-enable-mapping-of-internal-object-for-debugging_L5.x.patch”. It contains a minor change to remove this guard. Both patches are included in attachment. To get more details about how to use this tool, try “-h” option to print the usage message. Enjoy!

Platform i.MX8MPlus EVK, Android 13 Background Customer find we have enabled all configs about pstore and ramoops, but they can't get ramoops log in /sys/fs/pstore node on Android 13. Solution The default reboot will reset all hardware including the DDR control, so this will result in the loss of the log stored in RAM. We have include such codes in ATF, the default code will use imx_wdog_restart(true) to reset all hardware. void __dead2 imx_system_reset(void) { #ifdef IMX_WDOG_B_RESET imx_wdog_restart(true); #else imx_wdog_restart(false); #endif }   To avoid DDR reset, we should comment  IMX_WDOG_B_RESET in vendor/nxp-opensource/arm-trusted-firmware/plat/imx/imx8m/imx8mp/include/platform_def.h   Result evk_8mp:/sys/fs/pstore # ls console-ramoops-0 dmesg-ramoops-0 pmsg-ramoops-0

Hello everyone, We have recently migrated our Source code from CAF (Codeaurora) to Github, so i.MX NXP old recipes/manifest that point to Codeaurora eventually will be modified so it points correctly to Github to avoid any issues while fetching using Yocto. Also, all repo init commands for old releases should be changed from: $ repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b <branch name> [ -m <release manifest>] To: $ repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b <branch name> [ -m <release manifest>] This will also apply to all source code that was stored in Codeaurora, the new repository for all i.MX NXP source code is: https://github.com/nxp-imx For any issues regarding this, please create a community thread and/or a support ticket. Regards, Aldo.

The IOMUX module on i.MX 8M enables flexible I/O multiplexing, allowing users to configure each IO pad as one of selectable functions. The CSU (Central Security Unit) module on i.MX 8M can be used to configure some devices as secure only accessible to protect the security of these devices. But as the IOMUX is Non-Secure accessilbe and thus the pad function can be configured dynamicaly, there is one risk if hackers reconfigure the IO pad to make the device connected to other controller which is accessible to Non-Secure world. One solution for this issue is configuring the CSU to limit Non-Secure access to IOMUX, all IOMUX registers write operations are routed to Trusty OS. In the Trusty OS, add all sensitive IO resources to one blacklist, the IOMUX driver in Trusty OS should check and deny any write attemption to sensitive registers from Non-Secure world. One example patch set is attached to show how to assign the IOMUX to secure world and how to route the IOMUX write operations to Trusty OS. In this example, the USB Host pinctrl PAD on i.MX8MP EVK was assigned to secure world. The layout of the example codes are:     . ├── atf │ └── 0001-config-iomux-to-secure-write.patch --> ${MY_ANDROID}/vendor/nxp-opensource/arm-trusted-firmware ├── kernel │ └── 0001-Use-Trusty-OS-to-handle-iomux-registers-written-oper.patch --> ${MY_ANDROID}/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/ ├── trusty │ └── 0001-Add-iomux-pinctrl-TEE-handler.patch --> ${MY_TRUSTY}/trusty/hardware/nxp └── u-boot └── 0001-Use-Trusty-OS-to-handle-IOMUX-operation.patch --> ${MY_ANDROID}/vendor/nxp-opensource/uboot-imx

Background Some customers connect their imx running Android to the cloud, so reboot-bootloader and the use of fastboot oem unlock is not acceptable. This way the system is disconnected and cannot be operated remotely using adb.

Only in this way can the correct hash value be calculated. When we execute the following command to make target files make target-files-package -j4 Will repackage a copy of system.img in the /out directory and this system.img does not meet the requirements. The system.img used by the differential package must be system.img in out/target/product/evk_8mm/obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_intermediates/. Therefore, the system.img we burned in the first step did not meet the requirements, resulting in hash verification errors. Solution 1: After the first step of programming, do a full update. When using the make otapackage -j4 command, a target_files.zip file will also be generated, which we will regard as PREVIOUS-target_files.zip. Modify part of the code and make NEW-target_files.zip. Finally, the differential upgrade can be successful. Solution 2: After finishing the first target_files.zip, copy the system.img in out/target/product/evk_8mm/obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_intermediates/ to the out/target/product/evk_8mm directory, and then use uuu Perform programming. After burning and writing, make the second target_files.zip, and finally you can upgrade by differential.

The following are a couple of recommendations for setting up a Host machine for building the Android Nougat 7.1.1_1.0.0 BSP. Some of these recommendations are not exclusive of the Nougat release and may help in other scenarios. These also apply to using Virtual Machines as Host. Installing Open JDK 8 on Ubuntu 14.04 As mentioned on the Android guide for Establishing a Build Environment (http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html) there are no available supported OpenJDK 8 packages for Ubuntu 14.04, which is the version recommended and tested on the Nougat Android BSP. An alternative is downloading the Ubuntu 15.04 Open JDK 8 packages and installing them manually, which can be done by following this procedure: Download the .deb packages for 64-bit architecture from archive.ubuntu.com: openjdk-8-jre-headless_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb with SHA256 0f5aba8db39088283b51e00054813063173a4d8809f70033976f83e214ab56c0 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openjdk-8/openjdk-8-jre-headless_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb  openjdk-8-jre_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb with SHA256 9ef76c4562d39432b69baf6c18f199707c5c56a5b4566847df908b7d74e15849 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openjdk-8/openjdk-8-jre_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb  openjdk-8-jdk_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb with SHA256 6e47215cf6205aa829e6a0a64985075bd29d1f428a4006a80c9db371c2fc3c4c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openjdk-8/openjdk-8-jdk_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb  Once you have downloaded these three packages and checked the checksum for them install the packages (optional) install them by running: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo dpkg -i openjdk-8-jre-headless_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i openjdk-8-jre_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i openjdk-8-jdk_8u45-b14-1_amd64.deb‍‍‍‍   Increasing SWAP to compensate for the lack of RAM Having insufficient RAM especially on the linking part of the image build may cause a number of issues that are difficult to troubleshoot. In these cases it’s good to take a look at the resource monitor to see if indeed the RAM was depleted. One way to make up for the limited RAM is using a bigger swap. Google recommends at least 16GB of RAM/swap so it’s not uncommon to create a 10GB swap when working in VM, to do this please use the following commands.    $ sudo fallocate -l 10g /mnt/10GB.swap $ sudo chmod 600 /mnt/10GB.swap $ sudo mkswap /mnt/10GB.swap $ sudo swapon /mnt/10GB.swap‍‍‍‍   Increasing heap size to avoid out of memory errors It is possible to encounter an out of memory error with the recommendation “try increasing heap size witj java option ‘-Xmx<size>’. If you encounter this error or would like to proactively avoid it you may run the following commands that will increase heap size to four gigabytes and then reset the Jack Server by killing it and starting it again. With the android environment initialized: $ cd my android $ export JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4g" $ jack-admin kill-server && jack-admin start-server‍‍‍‍‍‍  Fixing Jack Servers errors due to multiple users on the Host Android Nougat uses Jack Server as mono-user by default. If this is not the case for your host you would need to choose different port numbers for each user and adjust SERVER_NB_COMPILE accordingly. You can also disable the Jack server by setting SERVER=false in your $HOME/.jack. Alternatively, you may also use the patch available on the following link to myandroid/prebuilts/sdk. It will help to fix the mono-user build restriction. When installing the jack-server, it will detect if Jack server is running in the same build machine and then generate a random ports for my build instead of using the default one. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/UWhJrXH8Vig
