Hello,
I’m trying to make a fresh build of aosp android-7.1.2_r36 tag for Hikey960. But I think some file are missing.
Here is my steps :
repo init -u platform/manifest - Git at Google -b android-7.1.2_r36
repo sync -j4
then I download the drivers for android 7.1.2 from:
when I tape : lunch on the terminal, the entry hikey960-userdebug is missing from the list. I only have hikey-userdebug.
Could you please help ?
Thanks
Hikey960 support is available in mainline AOSP but the support files were not included in the 7.1 maintenance branches (they were not ready when the branches were made).
Thank you for your answer.
Do you think I can use the branches from the master (which is android-8) and use it on android-7.1.2 :
<project path="device/linaro/bootloader/arm-trusted-firmware" name="device/linaro/bootloader/arm-trusted-firmware" />
<project path="device/linaro/bootloader/edk2" name="device/linaro/bootloader/edk2" />
<project path="device/linaro/bootloader/OpenPlatformPkg" name="device/linaro/bootloader/OpenPlatformPkg" />
<project path="device/linaro/hikey" name="device/linaro/hikey" groups="device,hikey,pdk" />
<project path="device/linaro/hikey-kernel" name="device/linaro/hikey-kernel" groups="device,hikey,pdk" clone-depth="1" />
Or do you know any other manually way to make this work ?
Thanks
@justin_h83 See Build AOSP 8.0.0_r34 on Hikey960 - #14 by doitright. You can try device/linaro/* from master branch and 7.1.2 for the rest. Let us know how that turns out.
Thanks, I’ll try this and I give you a feedback.
I have just made the test, here is the result :

Any idea to solve this ?

Not really. 7.1.2 should support armv8-a architecture. What was the output for source ./build/envsetup.h?
for sure, here it is:

Ok, their was a missing file on android 7.1.2 : build/core/combo/arch/arm/armv8-a.mk, I copy it from the master, and it seem work, here is the result now :

Good work! But if there are many other files outside of device/linaro/* that are needed from master branch, then the ‘mixture’ might not work, or very hard to get it to work.
Ok here is my next step :

Any idea ?
You can try to fix each build error that appears, but this could go on and on with no estimate on when it’ll end. Besides, even if you reach the end, there’s no guarantee built images will work properly.
Also, it seems like armv8-a.mk is already in build/core/combo/arch/arm64/, so copying it to build/core/combo/arch/arm/ doesn’t look like the right thing to do anymore.
The build should have triggered an armv8 build, not arm. Not sure what happened. Can you list the steps you took to mix device/linaro/* from master branch and 7.1.2 for the rest?
To mix the master with 7.1.2, I just clone the repositories and the binaries:
that’s it!
What about device/linaro/build? Did you get that from master too?
Nop I use the one from 7.1.2. I’v tried to switch to the master but I had on error that say somthing like :
cat /build/envsetup.sh no such file or directory
Ok. It’s possible that some incompatibilities have been introduced in master. See Build System Changes for Android.mk Writers for details. If so, the files in device/linaro/* are then using a different set of env variables since they come from master, compared to the rest of the code. Not sure how else to help you here. Sorry.
If 8.x is an option for you, perhaps try that version instead of 7.x like the user in the related thread above to see if you’ve better luck.
thank you, I think I’ll move to 8.x, I have to cherry-pick all my changes from 7.1.2. I think it will be better.
thanks again for you help
You’re welcome. Please note that there’s no guarantee you won’t hit the same/similar issues again, although it seems like others have managed to make it work (to a certain degree?) in https://discuss.96boards.org/t/aosp-8-1-stable.
I just check you link, but I’m suprised to see that there NO graphics acceleration working at all. If this is true, I cannot do for my business with this board.
I took the board because I need more GPU power, and according to the spec of the board
CPU 4 Cortex A73 + 4 Cortex A53 Big.Little CPU architecture
GPU ARM Mali G71 MP8
Maybe I have to look for another board.
