Building Android in Ubuntu 11.10 64bit

[RogerioNunes]

Hi,

For those trying to build Android in a version of Ubuntu later than 10.04 LTS, I successfully built Android BSP R10.3.2 for iMX53smd board in Ubuntu 11.10 64bit after applying the following two additional patches:

Hi,

Are you talking about Adeneo BSP for the QSB or Freescale images for the SMD board?

I've been working with the SMD.

Following the steps on the User Guide that is inside the docs folder should work even in a 64bit environment if you are planing to use an SD card.

But you can also use MFGTool in a Windows environment to flash the images that you have to internal eMMC in case you are using SMD board as well.

Be careful with the init.rc configuration inside the ramdisk image. It depends on what storage I'll be using and the default is eMMC for SMD. Instruction on how to change the default are inside the User Guide html as well.

Regards.

Hi,

I have worked with Linux and not Android, So, I need some help, if possible, from you as you have been working on a 64-bit system.

I have recovery.img  system.img  uramdisk.img images in SD folder. I have downloaded the binaries directly.

Can you please tell me, how to use them?

Please Inform!
