Hi @tenk.wang ,

Could you please attach the kernel commit id corresponding to the android branch android-12.0.0_r7?
Because I found that the boot.img in the firmware attached above is 5.4.158, which is 5.4.108 in the yukawa-kernel in android-12.0.0_r7 branch.

Moreover. Why the system could not start if I flash the uboot.bin in the tar file? I flash a version in latest aosp and it worls.

Best Regards

@lthxxn
I download commit is “687ec370e553a07ead471904eef9c3ebcd621a8a”.

Command:

cd ${AOSP_TOPDIR}
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/hikey-linaro -b android-amlogic-bmeson-5.4

export PATH=${AOSP_TOPDIR}/prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/clang-r399163b/bin:$PATH
export PATH=${AOSP_TOPDIR}/prebuilts/gas/linux-x86:$PATH
export PATH=${AOSP_TOPDIR}/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/lz4:$PATH
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
export LLVM=1

cd hikey-linaro
make meson_defconfig
make DTC_FLAGS="-@" -j24

Hi @tenk.wang

It’s strange that when I flash the kernel image, a process named surfaceflinger keep crashing and rebooting.

And I realized that the kernel version (shown in uname -r) in the firmware attached is 5.4.158-g99dbc8a70d15-dirty, which is 5.4.158-g687ec370e553 in the boot.img I build.

Did I miss some patches?

Best Regards

lthxxn · January 5, 2022, 8:23am

Hi @tenk.wang

Could you please post how to download Android 12 AOSP again?
I think I did something wrong…

My Step is:

cd ${AOSP_TOPDIR}
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-12.0.0_r7
repo sync -j16
cd -

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/hikey-linaro -b android-amlogic-bmeson-5.4
**git checkout 687ec37**
export PATH=${AOSP_TOPDIR}/prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/clang-r399163b/bin:$PATH
export PATH=${AOSP_TOPDIR}/prebuilts/gas/linux-x86:$PATH
export PATH=${AOSP_TOPDIR}/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/lz4:$PATH
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
export LLVM=1

cd hikey-linaro
make meson_defconfig
make DTC_FLAGS="-@" -j24

After make kernel completely I will copy the image.lz4 *.dtb to yukawa-kernel/5.4

and back to the top of aosp

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch yukawa-userdebug
# make installclean
make TARGET_USE_TABLET_LAUNCHER=true TARGET_VIM3=true TARGET_KERNEL_USE=5.4 -j24

And I flash image to VIM3
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash super super.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo-unsigned.img

And System bootup failed…

@lthxxn Now,my kernel version is “5.4.163-81966-g0eddf1e50d85”.
Since Google updates frequently, I use this branch now.

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-12.0.0_r13
repo sync -j16

Sorry, AOSP android 12 is not stable yet.

lthxxn · January 6, 2022, 9:00am

Thanks.
I also update to the latest kernel. ==> “5.4.163-g0eddf1e50d85-dirty”

The reason why I asked this question is that I found that the image you release (Android 12 V211126) seems better than the image I build from AOSP. For example, when I try to do drag action on hdmi screen, V211126 seems more smoothly .

I think there are still some different between them, but I am not able to find them out right now. Seems I need to learn more about Android and Khadas…

Thanks a lot!!!

vvyy11 · March 10, 2022, 2:14am

I tried this android T version and found that the screen didnt work. However screencap seemes normal. so ,is it a known issue? thanks @tenk.wang, @jasonl

tenk.wang · March 10, 2022, 2:17am

@vvyy11 At present, Android only supports HDMI out.

vvyy11 · March 10, 2022, 2:20am

Ok, thanks a lot, Tenk

Xshell · October 21, 2022, 11:40am

hello @tenk.wang just a question…is AOSP12 being supported on Touch screen now?

ch360BC · September 27, 2023, 4:01pm

Hi,
After flashed Android T(12) bootloader u-boot_kvim3_noab.bin and rebooted to bootloader, I am getting the following unknown device in Windows Device Manager

USB download gadget
USB\VID_1B8E&PID_FADA\5AF91A6F0B1A

Does anyone know where to get the Windows USB driver for VIM3 Android T(12) fastboot?

Thanks

superceleron · September 27, 2023, 9:36pm

Im thinking if i will do one of my ones!
ATV build i mean, im just not to thrill of AOSP them mod it to ATV, since its a real pain!
I will think about it!
