What exactly is it we are waiting on from AMLogic in order to achieve 64bit Android 11 for the Vim3?

Thanx

Hi, Amlogic has paused for now, from what I know they are working on a 905x4 release, but we are of little interest.
:man_shrugging:t3:

Damn, and from what I can see no other manufacturer took up the A311D
I should have gone for the Edge-V :frowning:

buddy, donā€™t blame yourself, you just need a debugged assembly like everyone else, for example, I donā€™t care what architecture it works in if it fully satisfies my needs in reality.

Oh I am the same, all I need is a good strong android SBC with fully integrated Bluetooth that I can get a headphone protocol to work with for hands free operation. Google assistant is all.

Its for a motorcycle application of a carPC.

The VIM3 just does not cut it as is, and the only thing it needs is softwareā€¦

Just consider that we are more unique in using the A311D :wink:

there have been other Individuals and corporations making boards using the A311D, mainly based on the VIM3ā€¦
but using it for developmental and testing purpose, not sold for normal consumerā€¦

The main reason I selected it was that it had built in BlueTooth and most of the competition had only USB BT.
When BT is run thru USB it cannot perform HFP or HSP protocols that I need for hands free use.
While I like the specs of everything, and I am convinced the hardware is cutting edge, even top of the line, it does not help me much when I cannot make use of it.

afak, Android is quite a complex thing to work with in the community, and developing for Linux has been a bit more easier Intensive,
if you look at it, only Terry is doing most of the work with Amlogic android, whilest with linux we have Numbqq and some others to helpā€¦

this is just my view of how it is going here, we need more Devs to work on android, if we want it to develop even furtherā€¦

More devs for sure, sadly without the exposure of the product specifically the A311D not many peeps are going to put time in.
I am so surprised this SOC was not adopted in a lot more systems!

Im sure no one wants to hear this but IMO the hardware needs to slow down a little, IMO right now the VIM devices there are out are fast enough they just need the software side to catch up.

These boards are so far behind phones and phones are the most of the interest, im sure im wrong but it seems like the software is being converted from the phones, the time is changing over the touch part of the phones for us with these devices,

I figured with everyone streaming everything we watch now these would be a little more in demand but i guess not

Android AOSP 11 will be ready for VIM3/L soon :slightly_smiling_face:

Will that include an ATV build as well?

Curious if it will be an android ā€œgoā€ edition as well?

The notifications access setting seems to be broken in current revision and poking around at source for the past few hours I canā€™t seem to track it down other than lots of sourceforge saying ā€œGoā€ isnā€™t compatible with this setting method

why do you need Android go ?

Iā€™m looking for full android build
Current 9.0 builds behave like android go
//edit

I Recompiled with a change in the vendor.prop.mk file
Changed low_ram variable to false instead of true
now the notification access works as expected within the build

As I understand this, the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is the core build of all versions, once we get that we will start to see different versions like ATV builds, tablet builds etc within a few weeks.

We have been waiting on AmLogic to release the core code for the A311D so that the AOSP could be assembled for some time now.

Thanks for the great news Gouwa!!
