Cross Compiling AOSP/adb for armv7-gnueabihf host?

[John Jackson]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a project where I need to run ADB on a host arm platform.  I have found various resources on the net where someone has managed to write a script which cross compiles adb(https://github.com/bonnyfone/adb-arm) and I understand the make files changes needed to support later android releases. But I am worried that there may be features not fully working.  I am looking for a way to cross compile the ADB from within the AOSP build system. Is there a way to do this?

Thank You

Regards,

John Jackson

The platform build system does not support building for arm hosts.
However, adb used to support being built for the device. If you add a
device version of adb based on the host build rules, then add
"LOCAL_FORCE_STATIC_EXECUTABLE := true" and build for aosp_arm-eng it
should produce a static binary that is likely to work on your host.

Hi Colin Cross, thank you for getting back to me.   

I am bit inexperienced with working inside the aosp build environment. Can you go into some more detail as to how I can accomplish adding a "LOCAL_FORCE_STATIC_EXECUTABLE := true"?

In system/core, commit c318833b359164f25d7a93f6395c0cad787bacd7

added build adb for device, and commit 4626b7105763f0f5d25343dc81523ff2e9bda180

removed it. I have no idea if it still works if you add it back.

I build adb 1.0.36 for arm and arm64 hosts using this Android.mk I edited https://github.com/Surge1223/android_system_core/blob/android-7.1/adb/Android.mk

I'm able to use all functions fine from arm and arm64 devices.  Hope this helps.
