Build and install Android image for SMA-IMX6
Here you can find instruction to setup development environment for Android source code for SMA-IMX6 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.
Availability
SMA-IMX6QI or SMA-IMX6SI
Carrier Board
REV-SA01 (3.5“ evaluation baseboard for SMARC module)
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 #sudo apt-get install uuid uuid-dev #sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev liblz-dev #sudo apt-get install liblzo2-2 liblzo2-dev
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 gitlab@aes.avalue.com.tw:REV-SA01/REV-SA01_Android.git -b 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 SMA-IMX6QI |
| u-boot-6solo.bin | bootloader for SMA-IMX6SI |
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 SW1 on REV-SA01 as below to serial download mode
2. Use mini-USB cable to connect MINIUSB1 on REV-SA01 to Windows 7 system.
3. Run MfgTool2.exe and click start to flash image file.
| MfgTool | Description |
|---|---|
| Android-MfgTools\MX6DL-Android\MfgTool2.exe | MfgTool for i.MX6 Solo or Dual Lite |
| Android-MfgTools\MX6Q-Android\MfgTool2.exe | MfgTool for i.MX6 Dual & Quad |
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, LCD, HDMI, LCD+HDMI, LDB+HDMI, LDB+LCD)
For Android, please move the directory to “~/ kernel_imx/arch/arm/mach-mx6/smarc/rev_sa01.c”, you can refer the contents below to revise it for suitable display.
