Build and install Android image for RITY12R

Here you can find instruction to setup development environment for Android source code for RITY12R and the way to install it on eMMC. With this guideline, user will be able to setup the system easily and test all the functions with the system.

Setup Build Environment

Please following command below to install Oracle JDK6.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04

#sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
#sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
#sudo update-alternatives --config java

Please refer to hyperlink below to setup development environment
Initializing a Build Environment

Generating RSA Keys

Use command below to generate RSA Key :

#ssh-keygen -t rsa

You can find “id_rsa.pub” in path below. Please send it to us by email to get access right of Avalue GIT server.

#/home/username/.ssh/

If you had done this before for your Ubuntu development platform, there's no necessary to do it again.

Download Source code and cross compiler tool from Avalue git server

#git clone giter@aes.avalue.com.tw:Android.git -b POS-4.4.2

Compile Android Source code

Please following instruction below to compile Android source code

#cd Android
#./run.sh -j4

You can find all image files in path Android/out/target/product/smarc/

Image File Description
boot.img kernel image file
recovery.img recovery image file
system.img system image file
u-boot-6q.bin bootloader for RITY12R Quad core
u-boot-6dl.bin bootloader for RITY12R Dual lite

Please copy all of them to path Android-MfgTools\Image\smarc\android of MfgTool folder.

Install Android image into eMMC

Download MfgTool for Android from Hyperlink below
MfgTool for Android

1. Set JBTSL1 on RITY12R as below to serial download mode

2. Use mini-USB cable to connect JMUSB1 on RITY12R to Windows 7 system.

3. Run “MFG-Helper.exe” on the path (~\RITY_POS-Android-MfgTools\Mfg-POS)

3-1. Please select as below for Dual lite then click “Run MFG-Tools”


3-2. Please select as below for Quad core then click “Run MFG-Tools”


3-3. Press “Start” to flash image files

4. It will show “Done” after flashing is finish, then click “Stop” and “Exit” to close the screen.

5. Set SW1 as below to boot from eMMC

6. Restart the system then boot in Android

Setting for different display (LDB, HDMI, LDB+HDMI)

For Android, please move the directory to “~/ kernel_imx/arch/arm/mach-mx6/board-mx6_pos.c”, you can refer the contents below to revise it for suitable display.
