Cubieboard1(A10) porting to cm-10.1(android 4.2.2)

[Ji Yonggang]

Hi,

I porting the old cubieboard(A10) to CyanogenMod 10.1(android 4.2.2 based),
now it can make XBMC decoding with libstagefright hardware acceleration.

Source code available at github:
https://github.com/jungleji/android_device_softwinner_cubieboard1

I also made an sdcard tar ball that can be written to TF card and boot to android.

This tar ball uploaded to pan.baidu.com:

Hi Jungle,

Sorry, but I can't download from Baidu.

When I try to download, I have got a link to Baidu commander. 

But that installer only chinese. I can't read that.

Can you upload some other place, or if you send the tar ball by Wetransfer I will be very appreciated :-)

Hi Jungle,

Does this rom support USB Bluetooth dongle? If not, would you add the BT dongle support and rebuild it?

Thnaks.

I don't known. Because I didn't test it with such devices.

Which model of USB Bluetooth dongle do you have?
I will find a similar one and support it.

If you test it, could you send the ttl and logcat logs to me?

Hi Jungle,

Thanks for your reply.

Well, I am not sure about the module of my  BT dongle.

It shows "Generic Bluetooth Adapter" in Windows 7.

I found a cheap model sold in Cubieboard shop at taobao.com:

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=26888748759

The introduction said it works with cubieboard2.
Following the link I found it uses RTL8723a chip.

And a good news is there is a driver source code on github:

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt

So, I will buy one and start to port it to A10 cubieboard.

Hello Jungle,

Where did you get the kernel source and config?

I would like to compile a module for my usb wifi.

my usb wifi is Belkin F7D1101 that works with r8712u.ko module from staging or RTL8192SU driver from the realtek website.

Thanks

The kernel I used is from https://github.com/matson-hall/linux-sunxi,
branch is jb-cubieboard, version 3.0.52.

defconfig locate in:

I downloaded the 8912cu sdk from this page too.
Realtek_Wi-Fi_SDK_for_Android_JB_4_2.pdf in the sdk is a good start.

Thanks a lot Ji Yonggang.

I have a question which i searched a lot but not a good answer.

How we can compile our custom android kernel and how to change it with the old one?

Is there any difference between linux and android kernel in terms of repository or the commands?

Should i use repacker software for substituation of kernel?

Thanks again.

linux-sunxi has a document described how to compile kernel:

http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_Kernel#Compilation

If you want to customize the kernel in this tar ball,
an easy and avoiding mistake way is to fetch whole cubieboard android source
that include the kernel I used.

It can be get under 'Instruction to build jellybean for cubieboard' from
https://github.com/cubieboard/manifests

After building image, we will find kernel .config file in
out/target/product/cubieboard/obj/KERNEL_OBJ

Based on this .config we can run `make menuconfig` to change kernel config.

> Is there any difference between linux and android kernel in terms of
> repository or the commands?

They share same repository. Android has extra androidization configs like:

CONFIG_ASHMEM=y
CONFIG_ANDROID=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_LOGGER=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_RAM_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_LOW_MEMORY_KILLER=y

> Should i use repacker software for substituation of kernel?

You can directly replace the old kernel in the boot folder.

This kernel image is u-boot type, a mkimage command from u-boot
can be used to convert zImage kernel to uImage.

Jungle

[Dariush abbasinezhad mood]

Thanks a lot for your useful information.

Is there the possibility to add "8188eu"support?

Is there the possibility to make SDCard tarball for cubieboard_opentv.tar.gz?

Would you please tell me what are the difference between "mirror/android-3.4" and "sunxi-3.4"?Can both of them be used for building android kernel?

Best regards.

Yes.
Rtl8188eu driver include in cubieboard2-sdk at lichee/linux-3.3/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8188eu
After compile an 8188eu.ko, you also need modify android device/softwinner/cubieboard/BoardConfig to load it.

mirror/android-3.4 from google, sunxi-3.4 is maintained by linux-sunxi to support AllWinner soc chips.
If you want kernel running on cubieboard, select sunxi-3.4.

Hi Jungle,
Thank you for this great work. I have tried it on my mele a1000 and it works well, except for IR remote. This functionality is provided by the "sun4i-ir.ko" module which is missing. I tried to add it from a compatibility zip file, changed the vermagic number to match the kernel (from 3.0.8+ to 3.0.52+) but nothing appended.
Can you please make a support for such device ?

It is not missing, it is compiled in kernel.

You can check it with getevent command:

$ adb shell getevent

...
add device 3: /dev/input/event1
name: "sun4i-ir"
...

To support your ir controller, you may need modify sun4i-ir.kl file under
/system/usr/keylayout directory.

Regards,
Jungle

[MeleTest]

Tanks for your reply. Effectively, the module is loaded. I have changed the sun4i-ir.kl the the original from mele's firmware, but nothing appends. For exemple, when I press the "RIGHT" key of the remote, I have the following in getevent :
#> adb shell getevent
add device 1: /dev/input/event1
  name:     "sun4i-ir"
add device 2: /dev/input/event0
  name:     "sun4i-keyboard"
could not get driver version for /dev/input/mice, Not a typewriter
add device 3: /dev/input/event2
  name:     "axp20-supplyer"
/dev/input/event1: 0001 000e 00000001
/dev/input/event1: 0000 0000 00000000
/dev/input/event1: 0001 000e 00000000
/dev/input/event1: 0000 0000 00000000
 
In the sun4i-ir.kl file I have this line for that Key:
key 14   DPAD_RIGHT         WAKE_DROPPED

Thank for your help

Did you get more logs when press other key? For example, press "UP":

/dev/input/event1: 0001 000f 00000001
/dev/input/event1: 0000 0000 00000000

If you get such log, you can add or modify key code '000f' in third column

Hi Ji!

Many thanks!

I am not sure it will work with loaded kernel module for this device, because the wpa_supplicant_8

in this image is patched by realtek.

The recompiled kernel 3.0.52 with zd1211rw module, can be download it from:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B87fQlyfrPsreXQ0bWtfcEFla2M

I also made a updated cubieboard1-cm-10.1 image with 3.0.101 kernel, it is available at:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B87fQlyfrPsrdG5MZE1GbW05R1E

MD5 (cb1-kernel-3.0.52-with-zd1211rw.tar.gz) = d547e98f0439c92f8519b5c403c9e4d6
MD5 (cubieboard1-cm-10.1-20140410.tar.gz) = 9c69352b7b74814e1aba8fd8d3a52025

You can reduce partition size to fit your sd card.

There is a mk-sdcard.sh script in the tarball, in format_sdcard function,
modify system or data partition sfdisk parameters:

17,16,c
,36,83

,500,83 # system

,,5

,1000,83 # data

,16,83
,36,83

,,c

Thanks for the tip, it worked ok, I was able to install your image on a 2Gb sdcard.

But I have 2 problems...
- I cannot get a tablet UI so that I can get home and back buttons
- I cannot get root to work, and so I was not able to insmod the zd1211rw driver

If you use the TvdLauncher, there is no buttons bar at bottom,
but you can click right mouse button back to home screen.

Check the /default.prop file, it should has following values:

ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0

Best regards,
Jungle

[Jorge Gonçalves]

Hi!

Yes, the /default.prop file has that two permissions, still no root!
And, with Trebuchet or TvdLauncher, it is always the Phone UI, not tablet UI.

Any ideas?

I misunderstood before. In this image, it only has Phablet UI.

For root problem, can you check again with:

$ adb shell getprop | grep secure

Hi!

I cannot do adb:

#   adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device offline

Maybe I need some configuration? (I'm using Debian Wheezy)

Another question
-> the zd1211 driver needs some firmware files, can I use the same ones from Linux??
And, where should I put them in Android??

Finally, do you think you can make a version with Tablet UI, with the soft buttons and the sound +/- control?

Thank you for your help!

Which version of your adb is? Android 4.2.2 need adb version 1.0.31.

Android defines some firmware location:

#define FIRMWARE_DIR1 "/etc/firmware"
#define FIRMWARE_DIR2 "/vendor/firmware"
#define FIRMWARE_DIR3 "/firmware/image"

Sorry, I didn't make a nand version for this porting.
Because the u-boot-sunxi 2014-rc1 I used does not support nand boot.

I just upload a boot.img to google drive:

The kernel type is uImage.

uImage is converted from zImage(kernel) with mkimage command,
you can convert it back with dd command:

Hi Jungle,

I compiled an 4.2.2 Android for my CB2 but i dont think libstagefright is activated.

Did you made something special to add libstagefright support ?

After compiled, did you get libstagefrighthw.so and put it to /system/lib/ ?

The source code of libstagefrighthw is located at A20 SDK's android42/hardware/aw directory,
I use the same one to work on A10 cubieboard.

There are other important components in hardware/aw to support decoder, include libOmxCore.so, libOmxVdec.so.

When run XBMC and play a video, I got logcat messages to indicate this library is activated:

...

You also need to update /system/etc/media_codecs.xml to make it choose allwinner decoder:

<MediaCodecs>
<Decoders>
<MediaCodec name="OMX.allwinner.video.decoder.avc" type="video/avc" />
<MediaCodec name="OMX.allwinner.video.decoder.mpeg2" type="video/mpeg2" />

I check my compilation env and all files are present and well configured.

I ll check logs on my cb2. Which version of xbmc do you use ? Is 1080p decoding ok on you install  ?  

Would it be difficult to port cynogenmod to A20?

Thank you for answers

I test XBMC 13.0 release version.

You need turn off MediaCodec in XBMC settings:

https://github.com/jungleji/android_device_softwinner_cubieboard1#xbmc

> Is 1080p decoding ok on you install ?

1080P is still slow. for a 10mbps h264 video, about 1xFPS.

> Would it be difficult to port cynogenmod to A20?

If you plan porting cm 10.1 to A20, it's not difficult but tedious.

That is, download aosp 4.2.2, generate patches one with allwinner A20 SDK,
then generate patches two with cm 10.1. Merge these patches to new porting.

If you want to port cm 10.2 or cm 11.0 to A20,
the first difficulty you meet is where to get compatible proprietary libraries.
The second difficulty is handle the API changes between android versions.

Hi Jungle,
The nand image installs and works perfectly. This rom is blazing fast. XBMC runs quite smooth and I have solved the remote IR issues.
Thank you very much for this great work.

Hi Jungle,

I have succesfully built the android and followed the instruction to create nand image.

I created cache.img and largedata.img using this steps:

- dd if=/dev/zero of=largedata.img bs=4k count=256000

- dd if=/dev/zero of=cache.img bs=4k count=256000

- mkfs.ext4 largedata.img

- mkfs.ext4 cache.img

- tune2fs -c0 -i0 largedata.img

- tune2fs -c0 -i0 cache.img

put those image in out/target/product/cubieboard1/

and did ./pack-cm.sh

nand image was successfully created. It is around 2Giga image.

But when I flash to cubieboard using phoenixsuit, it failed immediatelly and said that that the image is not correct.

I tried to create smaller size of cache and largdata image, it also failed after more than 30% progress.

What did I miss during that steps?can you give some advices?

Best Regards,

ariee

Hello Ji Yonggang 

I apologize for my English 

I want to ask you for help, me very much need your help 

I have Mele A2000 Allwinner A10 and  it is

cubieboard1-cm-10.1-20140313.tar.gz

cubieboard1-cm-10.1-20140410.tar.gz

cubieboard1-cm-10.1.tar.gz

I do not have enough knowledge and skill, I tried to write it on SDcard 

I see only a black screen no logo,  please help me.

you can create 

Cubieboard1 (A10) porting to cm-10.1  Support USB bluetooth dongle and USB GPS PL2303 so that it was compatible with MELE A2000 

as well as possible to make img or zip to install via CWM

Thank you, waiting for your answer

Sorry for my unclear instruction.

The size of cache and data image are defined in sys_config.fex:

;------------------------------>nande, user data
[partition4]
class_name = DISK
name = data
size_hi = 0
size_lo = 1048576
user_type = 1
ro = 0

;------------------------------>nandh, android app cache
[partition7]
class_name = DISK
name = cache
size_hi = 0
size_lo = 131072
user_type = 0
ro = 0

If you use other size, you should change this config firstly.

Hi Sergey,
At Wed, 2 Jul 2014 03:32:28 -0700 (PDT),

Unfortunately, these SD images I released are only worked for Cubieboard A10.

I'm not sure this porting can or cannot launch on MELE A2000.
To make it work, you need script.bin and u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin MELE version.

I found these files in lundman.net:

http://www.lundman.net/wiki/index.php/MeLe_A2000

Replace these two files, run mk-sdacard.sh to create a new sdcard and see what happen this time.

[Ji Yonggang]

Hi Sergey,
At Thu, 3 Jul 2014 07:59:30 -0700 (PDT),

I found them in their http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/

script.bin:
http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/mele-1.3-script-fixed.bin
http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/script-HDMI-1080p60.bin

Rename one of them to script.bin

u-boot:
http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/sunxi-spl.bin
http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/u-boot.bin

the u-boot they provided are spl and u-boot separately,
you need modify script mk-scard.sh before run:

replace this line:

dd if=${BASE}/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=$card bs=1024 seek=8

with two new lines:

dd if=${BASE}/sunxi-spl.bin of=$card bs=1024 seek=8
dd if=${BASE}/u-boot.bin of=$card bs=1024 seek=32

Hi Jungle,

Thanks for the explanation, I have more question.

I would like to enable automatic mounting of mmc and usb, so I changed the vold.fstab

to something like these:

# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device

dev_mount       sdcard  /mnt/sdcard     auto    /devices/virtual/block/nand/nandi

#dev_mount      sdcard    /mnt/sdcard   10      /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.0

#dev_mount       usbhost1  /mnt/usbhost1 auto    /devices/platform/sw-ehci.1 /devices/platform/sw-ohci.1

dev_mount      sata            /mnt/sata       auto    /devices/platform/sw_ahci.0

dev_mount       extsd          /mnt/extsd      auto    /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.1/mmc_host  /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.0/mmc_host

dev_mount       usbhost0       /mnt/usbhost2   auto    /devices/platform/sw-ehci.2     /devices/platform/sw-ohci.2

dev_mount       usbhost1        /mnt/usbhost1   auto    /devices/platform/sw-ehci.1    /devices/platform/sw-ohci.1

it works ok, but the internal memory will not mounted, if I delete the change, the internal memory works.

do you know what is wrong with that? Do you have any suggestion?

I tried to watch streaming movie using xbmc, for SD quality, it works very good, but for 720, it has a little hiccup, is that normal or do I need to do some configuration?

[Dariush abbasinezhad mood]

Hi Jungle,

I order to use the new drivers, i need to substitute the 3.0.8 kernel in "A10-android-4.04.tar.xz" with the new 3.4.x one.

I tried but without success, is it possible? can android run with any kind of kernel or the kernel should be androidize?

In android image we have a file named "kernel", is it zImage?by the way what is the difference between bImage and zImage?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards.

Hi Ariee,
At Sat, 12 Jul 2014 05:45:56 -0700 (PDT),

If boot from TF card, internal nand will completely untouched, we mount TF card partition 10 to /mnt/sdcard,
the configure should be:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 10 /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.0

If you boot Android from Nand, the internal Nand partition nandi is mounted to /mnt/sdcard,
we should configure vold.fstab like this:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/nand/nandi

and if we want to use TF card when boot from nand, we need modify init.sun4i.rc, create dir with
mkdir /mnt/extsd, and add a new line to vold.fstab:

dev_mount extsd /mnt/extsd auto /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.0

I guess this issue happened when you play a video with high quality audio(e.g AC3 5.1),
XBMC 13 is still using soft-decoding on audio, that is depend on CPU, and A10 is low speed one.

To avoid this stutter, you can reduce audio resample quality to LOW:

Did you use the sunxi-3.4 kernel?

That kernel should be androidized with android features:

It is zImage, but for u-boot, it will be uImage.

For bzImage, the wikipedia link description is:

Thanks Jungle,

There is a linux-3.3 and i think linux-3.4 kernel for A20 but i can't use it with A10 and there is no "sun4i_crane_defconfig" and when i copy one from linux-3.0 it doesn't work.

I need some new drivers like sunxi-gpio.

Any suggestion?

Hi Jungle,

Thank for the tips, but the problems are when I make kernel modification to add driver and give root permission to the tty console by modifying init.rc and then compile the source, the booted image doesn't show internal storage even though I didn't change the vold.fstab. Do you have a clue with that?

and for the xbmc, it doesn't solve my problem, but actually the hiccup is on the image (every couple second there is missing video frame) not on the sound, I saw that the memory and processor uses are not high (considerate as moderate) during playback. fyi, I use xbmc 13.1, is that maybe the problem?

Can you download cm from https://github.com/cyanogenmod/ ?

Following my cubieboard1 porting instruction,

https://github.com/jungleji/android_device_softwinner_cubieboard1

after copy cm-10.1.xml to .repo/local_manifest/ you can sync the whole sdk.

OK. After showing logo animation, there is a call in surfaceflinger to set display mode.

You need to check the logcat messages output by HAL module display and hwcomposer,
the source code of these module are located in device/softwinner/cubieboard1/hardware folder.

i cant get root i think is kernel problem??? cause the su file is there (xbin) but when i install supersu not working i copied the apk and the new su from supersu before remaking the sd again nothing the only thing i managed like this is to install bank gapps minimal for 4.2.2 by extracted and then copy the them to the cm10.1 folder... any ideas how to solve this ????

[Ji Yonggang]

Hi Nikolaos,
At Tue, 5 Aug 2014 11:23:42 -0700 (PDT),

You can get root through `adb shell`.

To install gapps, remount the /system partition with rw option, unzip gapps zip file,
copy all files under system folder to /system, change files permission with reference
updater-script in gapps zip, after rebooting you will get installed google apps.

Best Regards,

i did the gapps but the problem is how to take su priveileges inside of the os like lets say rootexplorer ????

Did you try `adb shell` to get root?

CyanogenMod comes with Superuser and embedding to system Settings,
because I'm lazy, use the cubieboard Settings in this porting.

Hello Jungle and folks,

Has anyone had success compile from the source?

I had success to compile from Jungle source, but when I boot using the image, I have no internal storage on android so I can't donwload and install anything.

Do I need to use sdcard as internal storage when booting from nand?

Or did I miss any configuration steps during build?

Or it is a bug on the vold framework?

Thanks,

arieedzig

Hello Nikolaos,

I did the following modification to make root works:

1.  edit sytem/core/rootdir/init.rc, change the following line

service console /system/bin/sh

    class core

    console

    disabled

    user shell

    group log

to 

service console /system/bin/sh

    class core

    console

    disabled

    user root

    group root

2. edit device/softwinner/cubieboard1/device_cubieboard1.mk

add these line to PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += \

persist.sys.root_access=1 \

add these line to PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \

Superuser \

After that, recompile your source. The Superuser apk should be installed and you can act as root.

It is also possible to embed su, you need to patch the source but I haven't tried it.

please follow this instruction https://github.com/koush/Superuser 

Best regards,

arieedzig

No, the internal partition nandi is mounted to /mnt/sdcard.

No extra steps needed when building nand image.
In the output /system/etc/vold.fstab, it should include a define:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/nand/nandi

> Or it is a bug on the vold framework?

There was a bug in vold when formatting vfat partition, you can check it by manually
mount vfat partition on shell or examine the logcat.

Jungle why you are not making a new rom again from the beginning with root

The vold.fstab contains above line, but still doesn't work. Is it correct nandi not nandk?because I saw in linuxsunxi (http://linux-sunxi.org/Android/partitions), the internal sdcard is on nandk partition.

Hi,

I porting the old cubieboard(A10) to CyanogenMod 10.1(android 4.2.2 based),
now it can make XBMC decoding with libstagefright hardware acceleration.

Source code available at github:
https://github.com/jungleji/android_device_softwinner_cubieboard1

I also made an sdcard tar ball that can be written to TF card and boot to android.

This tar ball uploaded to pan.baidu.com:

In tools/pack/chips/sun4i/configs/android/cubieboard/sys_config.fex last partition defined is

;------------------------------>nandh, android app cache
[partition7]
class_name = DISK
name = cache
size_hi = 0
size_lo = 131072
user_type = 0
ro = 0

So we use the next partition nandi as UDISK.

Without setting UI, Superuser will be useless.

I transferred a new image via wetransfer.com to you, it modified console service's
user and group to root.
