Android Nougat on IMX 7D.

[mehulshah]

Hi All,

I want to port android-N to Imx7d sabre board . I just want to port android-N , so i am not changing code of kernel and u-boot on which i bring up marshmallow . First , i followed the Android's user guide given for marshmallow. (PFA..see 3.2)

I followed below steps :

$ cd ~/myandroid
$ source /opt/android_M6.0.1_2.0.0_source/code/M6.0.1_2.0.0/and_patch.sh

but , when i execute below command

$ c_patch /opt/android_M6.0.1_2.0.0_source/code/M6.0.1_2.0.0/ imx_M6.0.1_2.0.0

it shows output as below .

root@ubuntu:/home/debian/mehul/android_N# c_patch ../android_M6.0.1_2.0.0_source_new/code/M6.0.1_2.0.0/ nougat

Error! The git /home/debian/mehul/android_N/packages/apps/Browser doesn't exist. Stop

The reason i think is , in Android-N there is no directory called Browser under packages/apps , but instead Browser2 is there.

so if i want to apply patch excluding the directories which are different , how can i apply the patch quickly ?

for the directories which are different i will change the merge manually .

Please let me know , if anything is wrong in approach and guide me how can i apply the patch .

Regards,

Mehul

Hello Mehul,

The Android Nougat BSP for i.MX7D BSP has just been released. Since changes are significant between each Android version my recommendation would be downloading this BSP as patches for Marshmallow most likely won’t work correctly on Nougat.

Android N7.1.1_1.0.0 BSP Documentation

I hope this helps!
