HOWTO Build Android-X86 Full Source
====================================
Last Modified on 23-Dec-2008 23:10
I Summarized how to build android full source for x86 target.
0. My development environments
- OS : Ubuntu 8.10 Distribution ( 2.6.27-4-generic )
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz ( Samsung SENS
R60 Laptop )
- RAM: Samsung DDR Ram
- Target: Eee PC (ASUS)
1. Query of Linux distribution information
- At first, Prepare ASUS Eee 701 Lattop or Samsung nettop (NC01).
And then, confirm system information on your linux distribution
like belows.
$ uname -a
Linux invain-laptop 2.6.27-4-generic #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 01:30:51 UTC
2008 i686 GNU/Linux
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu10) 4.3.2
Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There
is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
2. repo init and Sync
- You have to download android full source for x86 architecture like
ASUS Eee PC 701.
- Eee pc dev tree is "git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/vendor/
asus/eee_701.git".
$ cd ~
$ mkdir bin_x86 && cd bin_x86
$ mkdir mydroid && cd mydroid
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b
cupcake
$ repo sync
$ vi ./.repo/local_manifest.xml
<manifest>
<project name="platform/vendor/asus/eee_701" path="vendor/asus/
eee_701"/>
</manifest>
$ repo sync
... A new repo command ( 1.8) is available.
... You should upgrade soon:
$ vi external/srec/tools/thirdparty/OpenFst/fst/lib/../../fst/lib/
vector-fst.h
$ vi external/srec/tools/thirdparty/OpenFst/fst/lib/symbol-table.cpp
$ vi frameworks/base/tools/aidl/aidl.cpp --> #include <stdlib.h>,
#include <string.h>
and so on......
Got my hands on a eee701 today, will try this as soon as I get home
and install Ubuntu!
Yesterday I tried to compile in Slack12, perhaps later I will post the
compile barf.

Using gcc-4.2 instead of gcc-4.3 should help avoid modifying source,
that is
$ TARGET_ARCH=x86 TARGET_PRODUCT=eee_701 DISABLE_DEXPREOPT=true
CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++-4.2 make ........

i have done all this and i have the .img files but i am not able to
create a working live usb. The grub loader seems to be going into some
kind of loop. How do i get past that ? any ideas?

Hi All,
Will these steps work for a Desktop PC

without affecting anything in my harddisk?
Please help.

Ok, after some work I get installer.img from android sources.
I'm trying to use it on 1) QEMU x86 version 2) a generic x86 PC (not
Asus eee).
In the first case linux kernel loads, but the installer stops trying
to lauch init script
(I guess there are some scripts to modify to permit android to work
properly on
an emulated environment). In particular, I obtain something like
init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property
errno:2
installer : waiting for device: /dev/block/sdb2
The secondo case in more interesting. I've used make-live script to
copy installer.img
on an USB hard drive. Android kernel and init scripts start without
problems.
The problem is that after the first loading I obtain a "black screen",
but with ALT+F1
I can use the sh prompt. I think that the black screen appears because
I haven't an
Intel 915 video card on the pc...but I'm not really sure.
Any tips or suggestion?

for the second case, I think what you guessed is right. To be sure of
it, if you got ethernet, 'adb logcat' could help you. To build
required modules, you may wanna read 'vendor/asus/eee_701/modules/
module.versions', check out android-2.6.25 kernel, and start from
'vendor/asus/eee_701/kernel.config'.

For use on qemu or generic PC, you may need to compile the kernel with VESA
Frame buffer support and specify the VESA mode when boot: vga=788 (800x600,
that may be a good resolution, 785 for 640x480, 791 for 1024x768). You can
add it in grub's menu.lst
For disk file with qemu, it may be possible to use dd image of the
make-live script created usb disk. I haven't tried yet, but it may be
possible.

I run logcat and the same happens with some other keys.
2) If I try to activate WiFi, the UI says "Unable to start WI-FI" and the logcat shows the error:
E/WifiService( 1935): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
3) I read in other posts that Android doesn't support a mouse pointer but the mouse events should be handled nevertheless. Is that so? Because I tried and there are neither responses to mouse events in the UI nor the logcat.
Finally, where can I find info on how to troubleshoot a running system (I only know the logcat so far)?
Thanks Lee for the detailed instructions. Do you know if this build
works in Virtual Environment(like VMWare or VirtualBox?).
What changes do I need to make if I need to run this in virtual
environment?
Also, Do you know if the vanilla cupcake branch will work for the
virtual environment? Or do I need to pull in the Asus tree?
Thanks

(I dont remember which lunch selection it is but,) yes the qemu from the
android tree only supports ARM tergets at this point.

There is no support for generic PCs, but it should be possible to create a
more generic x86 target without a kernel, no installer, but just a basic
ramdisk and system image.
There is some basic support for EeePC 701, though others have had success
running it on other similar hardware (building your own kernel might be
necessary). Common issue is the lack of correct framebuffer drivers. As
someone suggested on this thread, try building the kernel with vesafb to
make it easier for bringup.

QEMU provided runs ON x86, but only runs ARM target code.
