Hi all,
I've got a question regarding the generation of over the air images for android.
I've followed the steps outlined in the AOSP document to generate an OTA package. However, I'm not able to boot the device after the upgrade.
Some further info:
I'm using a EVK6SL board and have generated the images as follows:
source build/envsetup.sh && lunch evk_6sl-eng
make dist DIST_DIR=dist_output
./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files evk_6sl-target_files-{nnnn}.zip ota_update-{nnnn}.zip
However, after the upgrade, the new kernel fails to load at startup

Additionally, I've noticed that incremental updates fail to take effect due to partition // having an invalid checksum (output captured from the recovery log):
file "EMMC:/dev/block/mmcblk1p1:7221248:a27e8882206e834819a5435bc48c8a63040d7f51:7221248:0011fd17ac808f8e89da73471178ca767d370189" doesn't have any of expected sha1 sums; checking cache
failed to stat "/cache/saved.file": No such file or directory
Investigating further, I've noticed that the actual boot image included in the OTA package is different from the one that is used when downloading the image via mfgtool.
/myandroid/out/target/product/evk_6sl/boot-imx6sl.img (7258398)
ota boot.img (7221248)
It appears that the android OTA build tools use the raw kernel image to generate the boot image.
Is anyone able to point out what I need to do to generate valid OTA images? Has anyone else had any success with this?
Thanks
