blank emulator screen

[Sandeep]

Hi all,

I have downloaded android code as per instructions on
source.android.com.
I am running 64 bit Fedora Core 14.

After building the android source and running emulator, emulator
screen goes blank and shows following verbose description:

****************************************

Please tell me what is causing this problem. Why is emulator not
working in my case? Is there any extra care that I need to take while
using a 64 bit machine?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sandeep

I suggest to use ubuntu 64 bit 10.10 better

Why?
How about ubuntu 10.4 32 bit?

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

Building gingerbread and higher isn't supported on 32-bit hosts.

Ubuntu 10.4 (64-bit) is the preferred host OS.

I am not sure if it runs on Ubuntu 10-10 and higher :(
I just  downloaded the latest(3.1) android sources from source.android.com on my Ubuntu 11.04(2.6.38-generic-pae)

When I compiled the sources and finally started the emulator with command "emulator" I get the following error too:

emulator: WARNING: system partition size adjusted to match image file (97 MB > 66 MB)

followed by a blank android emulator screen.

I dont even see any more error messages. Just the one above and then waited for a long time and tried it several times over with the same error.

Please help.

As far as I know, this isn't related to Ubuntu 10.10. Also, the
warning you're getting is really just a warning, which you can safely
ignore (it really just tells you that the system image wouldn't fit on
a G1).

The deep issue is that, at compile-time, the Gingerbread branch uses
version 7 of the emulator, but at run-time it requires at least
version 12.

In order to be able to run straight out of fresh build, I believe that
you need to do two things:

-use version 12 of the emulator: in external/qemu, run "git checkout
korg/tools_r12"

-launch the emulator with the matching kernel: emulator -kernel
prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/kernel-qemu-armv7

I am a little confused here.

 I did a git checkout for tools_v12.

I retarted the emulator with the prebuilt kernel and I get the same warning again with a blank screen :(

I also downloaded the kernel sources. Compiled it and started my emulator (after creating a new avd image with id=3 pointing to android2.1) and did:

emulator -avd myandroid -kernel common/arch/arm/boot/zImage -show-kernel -verbose

And no emulator comes. I also see that at this point it stalls:
emulator: ping program: /home/Droid/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/ddms
emulator: ping command: /home/Droid/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/ddms ping emulator standalone

What should I do?


Thanks.

Did you solve your problem? I have a similar issue.

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

This might have been the issue (and the solution):

Damn, I just realized that the instructions were wrong. The only
project that needed to be fetched from tools_r12 is qemu, not sdk
(which is incompatible with gingerbread). I'm really sorry for the
people I've been misleading with inaccurate instructions :(

Oh well, this is a perfect opportunity to add a "known issues" section
to source.android.com.

repo forall external/qemu -c git checkout aosp/tools_r12
make
emulator -kernel prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/kernel-qemu-armv7
