Building Android ================ 1. Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script. Assuming you are at the top of the Android source tree: $ export TOP=`pwd` $ . build/envsetup.sh 2. Choose target. $ lunch aosp_ci20-userdebug 3. Build everything. - UBIFS: $ make -j24 - EXT4: $ make WITH_EXT4=true -j24 Flashing Android to device ========================== This procedure is only usable when you already have a functional Android running on the board and the latest U-Boot version. Additionally, if partition sizes on the board's SD card do not match sizes of the partitions that you want to flash, then you will also have to use "Flashing Android to SD card" procedure or "Flashing Android to NAND" procedure. 1. Connect the device to PC by USB cable and plug charger into the device. 2. Run the script for flashing Android to the device $ cd $TOP/device/imgtec/ci20/sdcardinstaller $ ./fastboot-flash-all The fastboot process takes approximately 6 minutes. Flashing Android to NAND (UBIFS) ======================================== This procedure is usable in all cases. 1. Make note of which Linux device represents the SD card. On my system it's /dev/sde. You'll need to adjust the instructions in this section to match the SD card device on your system. $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 This step may not be needed. Typically, it's needed only if the SD card was previously formatted for use as VFAT device. In any case, running this extra step doesn't hurt anything. 2. Generate an SDCARD image containing the Android compatible u-boot and Android boot/recovery/system images. $ cd $TOP/device/imgtec/ci20/sdcardinstaller $ ./mksdcard /dev/sdX 3. Install Android on CI20. Set the JP3 link to 2-3 to enable boot from SDCARD. Install the SD card and power cycle the board. u-boot will start up and automatically reformat the flash and install both u-boot and Android to it. After it has completed you should see something like: > 134217728 bytes read in 19742 ms (6.5 MiB/s) > 134217728 bytes written to volume system > 9338880 bytes read in 1440 ms (6.2 MiB/s) > 9338880 bytes written to volume system > All done :) 4. After the Android installation is complete it is possible to boot Android from NAND by setting the JP3 link to 1-2 and power cycling the board. If the JP3 link is left in 2-3, and the board is power cycled Android will also boot, but the boot.img file will be read from the SDCARD. This can be convenient when testing changes for the kernel or root filesystem. Flashing Android to SD card (EXT4) ======================================== This procedure is usable in all cases. 1. Install SD card into reader. Make note of which Linux device represents the SD card. On my system it's /dev/sde. You'll need to adjust the instructions in this section to match the SD card device on your system. 2. $ cd $TOP/device/imgtec/ci20/sdcardinstaller 3. $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 This step may not be needed. Typically, it's needed only if the SD card was previously formatted for use as VFAT device. In any case, running this extra step doesn't hurt anything. 4. $ ./mksdcard /dev/sdX 5. Install SD card into CI20. 6. Set the JP3 link to 2-3 position and power cycle the board.
