Hardware revision

Alpha

First revision, mostly working, android and debian server is booting fine. Known issues are:

HDMI detect ping(HDP) is not connected
Headphone detect pin is not connected

Beta

Build Android

Please refer Rock/Android_Build#Initializing_a_Build_Environment to set up the building environment if you haven't set it already.

Get the source code

  Download here radxa_rock2_square_android4.4.2_sdk_20150324.tgz

Build u-boot

    cd u-boot 
    make rk3288_defconfig 
    make -j4

Build the kernel

    cd kernel
    make radxa_rock2_square_defconfig
    make radxa-rock2-square.img -j 16

Build android source code

    source build/envsetup.sh 
    lunch 12
    make -j 8

Generate the image

   ./mkimage.sh ota

you will get boot.img recovery.img system.img under rockdev/Image, and update.img ( e.g. rock2_android_kitkat_15-03-23_141904.img)under rockdev

-==== Before start ====
+Please refer [[Rock/Android_Build#Initializing_a_Build_Environment]] to set up the building environment if you haven't set it already.
-Building AOSP(Android Open Source Project) for radxa rock is a huge task, it takes a lot of time and disk space.  You can read the detail requirement of the machine on [http://source.android.com/source/building.html AOSP requirement page]. The recommend building OS is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. It takes about 35 minutes and 30G disk space on a intel 4770 processor(i7, quad core, 3.4Ghz) machine with 16G ram and SSD.
