Any help on how to boot hikey 960 form SD card?

#3

The uefi bootloader was very recently made available, no sd card support yet but it will be there soon enough

#4

Thank you for the information. May be a video on how-to once it is available would be useful.
:slight_smile:

#5

My build for hikey960 ends with the following error. Any lead on this would be helpful…:slight_smile:
I am trying to flash the eMMC with the image and kernel built on my machine.

looks like you don’t have bison installed …
did you setup build environment properly from:
https://source.android.com/source/initializing

anyways try this.

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip

also repo sync your source again just to be sure.

#7

Thank you for the reply. Is there a way to flash your locally compiled hikey-linaro kernel to hikey960 when you flash the eMMC with pre-built AOSP?

#8

go through here to create the boot.img file https://source.android.com/source/devices
and use flashboot to flash boot
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img

#9

When i run:
$ make ARCH=arm64 hikey960_defconfig

platform_testing/build/tasks/tests/native_metric_test_list.mk: warning: continuous_native_metric_tests: Unknown installed file for module perf-setup.sh
./test/vts/utils/python/archive/Android.mk:28: warning: overriding commands for target default' ./test/vts/runners/host/tcp_server/Android.mk:19: warning: ignoring old commands for target default’
ninja: error: unknown target ‘hikey960_defconfig’
14:36:25 ninja failed with: exit status 1
build/core/main.mk:21: recipe for target ‘run_soong_ui’ failed
make: *** [run_soong_ui] Error 1

Any take on this?

#10

that command has to be run inside hikey-linaro folder

in the root folder of your android source
download and compile kernel

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/hikey-linaro
cd hikey-linaro
git checkout -b android-hikey-linaro-4.4 origin/android-hikey-linaro-4.4
make ARCH=arm64 hikey960_defconfig
make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- -j24

again please go through https://source.android.com/source/devices everything is very well explained
