Customers are experiencing significant and unexpected performance issues in their applications running on Android 14 relative to the performance that they saw on older versions of the OS (such as A12 or A13). This is a known issue on Android Community and is note related to NXP implementation of AOSP (Android Open Source Project). The information Android 14 can recollect from any debuggable application is a lot. With the help of Perfetto you can get and incredible analysis of all processes running on Android OS or an analysis of the memory usages. All this features have a side effect on debuggable applications, where debuggable application can experiment low performance. The degradation on the performance is around 1.5x and 2.0x the time taken on a previous Android version. In order to take really measurements on the application performance it is necessary to disable those features when building the apk . Quick Workaround There are two ways of disabling debug features: Build a release variant by adding a dummy key to Android-Studio. Read the following link to get further details on how to do it. Set debuggable feature to false on build.gradle (Module :app) . Here an example: android { buildTypes { debug { applicationIdSuffix '.debug' debuggable false // The important line! } } } Rebuild the apk and installed to the target with adb install <my-apk> . The application should now have the same performances it was having with A13 or older. References: Debuggable APP lag after updating to Android14

  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.

From Android 12, NXP use GKI(Generl kernel image) instead of NXP's kernel code.  This follow up Android ASOP standard. This article described that when customer use Android 12 and later version, they need to pay attention on GKI development, which is different with previous version.

This article describes how to integrate NXP WiFi & BT module into i.MX platform, some debug tips, how to test, etc. Although it takes i.MX8MM as example, it is also suitable for all i.MX8 serials platform.

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. This article therefore proposes to execute oem unlock before the bootloader is started when the system is first run, which can be unlocked directly.   Patch diff --git a/drivers/fastboot/fb_fsl/fb_fsl_boot.c b/drivers/fastboot/fb_fsl/fb_fsl_boot.c index 86b919775a..d60cd248ee 100644 --- a/drivers/fastboot/fb_fsl/fb_fsl_boot.c +++ b/drivers/fastboot/fb_fsl/fb_fsl_boot.c @@ -529,6 +529,42 @@ bool __weak is_power_key_pressed(void) { return false; } +static void wipe_all_userdata(void) +{ + char response[FASTBOOT_RESPONSE_LEN]; + + /* Erase all user data */ + printf("Start userdata wipe process....\n"); + /* Erase /data partition */ + fastboot_wipe_data_partition(); + +#if defined (CONFIG_ANDROID_SUPPORT) || defined (CONFIG_ANDROID_AUTO_SUPPORT) + /* Erase the misc partition. */ + process_erase_mmc(FASTBOOT_PARTITION_MISC, response); +#endif + +#ifndef CONFIG_ANDROID_AB_SUPPORT + /* Erase the cache partition for legacy imx6/7 */ + process_erase_mmc(FASTBOOT_PARTITION_CACHE, response); +#endif + +#if defined(AVB_RPMB) && !defined(CONFIG_IMX_TRUSTY_OS) + printf("Start stored_rollback_index wipe process....\n"); + rbkidx_erase(); + printf("Wipe stored_rollback_index completed.\n"); +#endif + process_erase_mmc(FASTBOOT_PARTITION_METADATA, response); + printf("Wipe userdata completed.\n"); +} +void do_unlock(void) +{ + int status; + wipe_all_userdata(); + status = fastboot_set_lock_stat(FASTBOOT_UNLOCK); + if (status < 0) + return FASTBOOT_LOCK_ERROR; + printf("Unlock device\n"); +} int do_boota(struct cmd_tbl *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char * const argv[]) { ulong addr = 0; @@ -563,6 +599,9 @@ int do_boota(struct cmd_tbl *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char * const argv[]) { fastboot_set_lock_stat(FASTBOOT_LOCK); lock_status = FASTBOOT_LOCK; } + if (lock_status == FASTBOOT_LOCK){ + do_unlock(); + } bool allow_fail = (lock_status == FASTBOOT_UNLOCK ? true : false); avb_metric = get_timer(0);

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.
