Project: Building Android Automotive OS for the VIM3 board

Objectives:

build AAOS for VIM3 Pro
test

This project builds on the information in the VIM3 device project

Patching the amlogic “yukawa” device

You can find device support for the VIM3 in upstream ASOP, in directory device/amlogic/yukawa. Out of the box it has configurations for tablet and TV. This project patches that code to add a third option for Android Automotive

Begin by getting a copy of AOSP. In the example, I am using build tag android-14.0.0_r28. It should work with other releases of android_14.0.0, but this is the only one I have tested:

$ mkdir ~/aosp
$ cd ~/aosp
$ repo init --partial-clone -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-14.0.0_r28
$ repo sync

Note that –partial-clone reduces the size of the download. It is optional

Get the patches that add the Automotive configuration. In this example, they will be stored in $HOME/vim3-aaos:

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/aospandaaos/vim3-aaos.git

Patch the yukawa device:

$ cd ~/aosp
$ cd device/amlogic/yukawa
$ git am ~/vim3-aaos/*.patch

Build the Automotive configuration:

$ cd ~/aosp
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch yukawa-userdebug
$ m TARGET_AUTOMOTIVE=true TARGET_VIM3=true

When the build has completed you can flash the images to your VIM3 board by following the instructions for the VIM3 device project, starting from heading “Testing”
