Rockpi4/rockpi-android7

Build environment setup

Recommend build host is Ubuntu 16.04 64bit, for other hosts, refer official Android documents [Establishing a Build Environment](https://source.android.com/setup/build/initializing).


   $ mkdir -p ~/bin
   $ wget 'https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo' -P ~/bin
   $ chmod +x ~/bin/repo

In China Download Repo:


   $ curl https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/git-repo -o repo
   $ export REPO_URL='https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/git-repo/'

Android's source code primarily consists of Java, C++, and XML files. To compile the source code, you'll need to install OpenJDK 8, GNU C and C++ compilers, XML parsing libraries, ImageMagick, and several other related packages.


   $ sudo apt-get update
   $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk android-tools-adb bc bison build-essential curl flex g++-multilib gcc-multilib gnupg \
                          gperf imagemagick lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-dev lib32z1-dev libesd0-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev \
                          libsdl1.2-dev libssl-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop pngcrush rsync schedtool squashfs-tools \
                          xsltproc yasm zip zlib1g-dev

Configure the JAVA environment


   $ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
   $ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
   $ export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

Download source code


   $ mkdir rockpi4-android
   $ cd rockpi4-android

Then run:


   $ ~/bin/repo init -u https://github.com/radxa/manifests -b rk3399-all-7.1 -m rockpi_n_all_release.xml
   $ repo sync -j$(nproc) -c

It might take quite a bit of time to fetch the entire AOSP source code(around 86G)!

Build u-boot


   $ cd u-boot
   $ ./make.sh rock-pi-4b-rk3399
   $ cd ..

The generated images are **rk3399_loader_v_xxx.bin** , **idbloader.img** and **uboot.img**

Building kernel

For DSI 480P, support Raspberry Pi official 7" Display.


   $ cd kernel
   $ make rockchip_defconfig
   $ make rk3399-rockpi-4b.img -j$(nproc)
   $ cd ..

For HDMI 4K


   $ cd kernel
   $ make rockchip_defconfig
   $ make rk3399-rockpi-4b-hdmi.img -j$(nproc)
   $ cd ..

The generated images are **kernel.img** and **resource.img**:

kernel.img, kernel with rkcrc checksum
resource.img, contains dtb and boot logo, Rockchip format resource package

Building AOSP


   $ source build/envsetup.sh
   $ lunch rk3399_all-userdebug
   $ make -j$(nproc)

It takes a long time, take a break and wait...

Generate images


   $ ln -s RKTools/linux/Linux_Pack_Firmware/rockdev/ rockdev
   $ ./mkimage.sh

Installation you can use `tf card` or `emmc module`


   $ sudo umount /dev/<Your device>*
   # mac os maybe not supprot progress
   $ sudo dd if=Image/gpt.img of=/dev/<Your device> bs=4M status=progress
   $ sync

through rockusb


  # on device u-boot
  # mmc 0 is your emmc module
  # mmc 1 is your tf card
  $ rockusb 0 mmc 1

  # on pc
  $ rkdeveloptool wl 0 Image/gpt.img

There may be some performance loss when using tf card
