How to Enable Android (AOSP) on Your Developer Board – Mattijs Korpershoek, BayLibre
Most embedded development boards can run Linux from traditional distros like Debian to custom Yocto systems. But have you ever wondered what it would take to run Android Open Source Project (AOSP) on these developer boards? Well, wonder no more. This talk will walk you through it. Using a ARM based Texas Instruments evaluation board as example, we will start from TI’s Yocto SDK then download AOSP and study all the changes needed in order to boot to the Android home screen. We will cover: – Bootloader (U-Boot) modifications required for Android boot flow – Linux kernel versus Android Common Kernel (ACK) – User space changes – Android’s build system – Additional changes to add more advanced features.
