1 Make Your Own OS Image

1.1 Setup Development Environment

In order to compile an Android image we suggest you do it on a 64 bit Ubuntu 16.04 system and install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make python-networkx zip
sudo apt-get install flex curl libncurses5-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev gawk minicom
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils device-tree-compiler liblz4-tool

For more details refer to https://source.android.com/source/initializing.html;
Or you can do it in Docker: friendlyelec-android-docker

1.2 Install Cross Compiler

1.2.1 Install aarch64-linux-gcc 6.4

This compiler can be used to compile a Linux kernel and u-boot. You can do it by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/prebuilts.git
sudo mkdir -p /opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain
sudo tar xf prebuilts/gcc-x64/aarch64-cortexa53-linux-gnu-6.4.tar.xz -C /opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/

Add the compiler's directory to the PATH variable by appending the following lines to the ~/.bashrc file:

export PATH=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/6.4-aarch64/bin:$PATH
export GCC_COLORS=auto

Run the ~/.bashrc script to make it effective in the current commandline. Note: there is a space after ".":

. ~/.bashrc

This is a 64 bit compiler and cannot work on a 32 bit Linux system. You can test if your compiler is installed correctly by running the following commands:

aarch64-linux-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=aarch64-linux-gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/6.4-aarch64/libexec/gcc/aarch64-cortexa53-linux-gnu/6.4.0/lto-wrapper

1.3 Compile Android8.1 Source Code

1.3.1 Download Android8.1 Source Code

{{{1}}} source code is maintained in gitlab, You can download it by running the following command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/friendlyelec/rk3399-android-8.1 --depth 1 -b master

1.3.2 Generate Image File

You can compile an Android7 source code and generate an image file:

cd rk3399-android-8.1
./build-nanopc-t4.sh -F -M

1.3.3 Update System with New Image

After compilation is done a new image file will be generated in the "rockdev/Image-nanopc_t4/" directory under Android 8.1's source code directory. You can follow the steps below to update the OS in {{{1}}}:
1) Insert an SD card which is processed with EFlasher to an SD card reader and insert this reader to a PC running Ubuntu. The SD card's partitions will be automatically mounted;
2) Copy all the files under the "rockdev/Image-nanopc_t4/" directory to the SD card's android8 directory in the "FRIENDLYARM" partition;
3) Insert this SD card to {{{1}}} and reflash Android
Here is an alternative guide to update OS: sd-fuse_rk3399

1.4 Compile Android7 Source Code

1.4.1 Download Android7 Source Code

{{{1}}} source code is maintained in gitlab. You can download it by running the following command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/friendlyelec/rk3399-nougat --depth 1 -b nanopc-t4-nougat

1.4.2 Generate Image File

You can compile an Android7 source code and generate an image file:

cd rk3399-nougat
./build-nanopc-t4.sh -F -M

1.4.3 Update System with New Image

After compilation is done a new image file will be generated in the "rockdev/Image-nanopc_t4/" directory under Android7's source code directory. You can follow the steps below to update the OS in {{{1}}}:
1) Insert an SD card which is processed with EFlasher to an SD card reader and insert this reader to a PC running Ubuntu. The SD card's partitions will be automatically mounted;
2) Copy all the files under the "rockdev/Image-nanopc_t4/" directory to the SD card's android8 directory in the "FRIENDLYARM" partition;
3) Insert this SD card to {{{1}}} and reflash Android

1.5 Compile FriendlyCore/FriendlyDesktop/Lubuntu's Kernel

git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/kernel-rockchip --depth 1 -b nanopi4-linux-v4.4.y kernel-rockchip
cd kernel-rockchip
make ARCH=arm64 nanopi4_linux_defconfig
export PATH=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/6.4-aarch64/bin/:$PATH
make ARCH=arm64 nanopi4-images

After compilation is done a kernel.img and a resource.img will be generated. You can simply copy them to replace the existing files in your eflasher SD card. We assume your SD card's FRIENDLYARM partition is mounted at the FRIENDLYARM directory and you can run the following commands to update system:

# for Lubuntu
cp kernel.img resource.img /media/FRIENDLYARM/lubuntu/
 
# for FriendlyCore
cp kernel.img resource.img /media/FRIENDLYARM/friendlycore-arm64/
 
# for FriendlyDesktop
cp kernel.img resource.img /media/FRIENDLYARM/friendlydesktop-arm64/

Or you can use a USB Type-C cable and the Linux_Upgrade_Tool utility to update system.

1.6 Compile FriendlyCore/FriendlyDesktop/Lubuntu U-boot Source Code

git clone https://gitlab.com/friendlyelec/rk3399-nougat --depth 1 -b nanopc-t4-nougat
cd rk3399-nougat/u-boot
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- rk3399_defconfig
export PATH=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/6.4-aarch64/bin/:$PATH
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-

After compilation is done a uboot.img, a trust.img and a rk3399_loader_v1.12.109.bin will be generated. You need to rename the rk3399_loader_v1.12.109.bin to "MiniLoaderAll.bin" and copy it to replace the existing file in your eflasher SD card. We assume your SD card's FRIENDLYARM partition is mounted at the FRIENDLYARM directory. You can run the following commands to update system:

# for Lubuntu
cp uboot.img trust.img /media/FRIENDLYARM/lubuntu
cp rk3399_loader_v1.12.109.bin /media/FRIENDLYARM/lubuntu/MiniLoaderAll.bin
 
# for FriendlyCore
cp uboot.img trust.img /media/FRIENDLYARM/friendlycore-arm64
cp rk3399_loader_v1.12.109.bin /media/FRIENDLYARM/friendlycore-arm64/MiniLoaderAll.bin
 
# for FriendlyDesktop
cp uboot.img trust.img /media/FRIENDLYARM/friendlydesktop-arm64
cp rk3399_loader_v1.12.109.bin /media/FRIENDLYARM/friendlydesktop-arm64/MiniLoaderAll.bin

Or you can use a USB Type-C cable and the Linux_Upgrade_Tool utility to update system.
