How to build an Android image for XO-4.

We provide in this directory changes to the Android 4.3.1 source so that Android can be built for the XO-4 laptop, and then merged with an OLPC OS build to create a dual-boot image.

Ingredients

  • a well connected development system,
  • about 20 GB of download capability,

Method

$ repo init -u git://dev.laptop.org/users/ben/android_manifest -b android-4.3.1-xo4
$ repo sync
  • go to #Source code see what patches are applied to which repository and check source code before start the build.
  • ensure you installed all the tools needed to build Android Initializing a Build Environment
  • start the build:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch 14
$ make installclean && make -j8
  • ensure you have simg2img tools in your /usr/bin/ simg2img
  • start to create zd file:

Android only image

$ cd vendor/olpc/xo4/mkzd
$ ./mkzd.sh

Combine Android with Sugar

  • ensure you have a copy of the OLPC OS Linux, Sugar and Gnome build file, e.g. 32013o4.zd,
$ cd vendor/olpc/xo4/sugar-combiner
$ ./mkzd.sh

Alternative Method

To merge an already published Android build with an already published OLPC OS derived build:

  • download the system.img, ramdisk.img, and kernel files from the Android build directory,
  • download the build derived from OLPC OS, e.g. 32013xx4.zd or 4_0b125.zd,
  • download the mkzd.sh tool, and edit it to match file names,
  • run mkzd.sh

Source code

source code for building Android is a combination of 4 parts.

  • You can also download kernel image form device/olpc/xo4-kernel git repository if you don't want to change kernel
