Can I build or get Android 4.2 or lower image on the Riotboard?

You mean I build Android 4.3 and bind the module should solve this issue, am I right?

You mean I build Android 4.3 and bind the module should solve this issue, am I right?

I mean you need to build the kernel with supported drivers (either vendor provided or available in open source) to get the device up.

once the device is up, then maybe (as author claims) the widget will be able to detect it.

can't say if it will solve the issue or not , but definitely the drivers will provide hardware interface ,  just need to hookup with a supported app.

Just fyi.

I tried checking out the Android 4.2.2 source. But the manifest file seems to be broken.

I only get errors when I try.

I´ll look further into it but only when I have time again.

Dear Sir,

     Where can I get android_jb4.3_1.0.0-ga_source.tar.gz and android_jb4.2_1.0.0-ga_source.tar.gz?

Sincerely

Ken

There is no Tarball of the source code.

You have a manifest xml file that describes where to download the source.

You find both for Android 4.2.2 and 4.3 here: https://github.com/embest-tech/imx-manifest

To use it you need a tool called repo.

Everything for getting and compiling the source in Debian is in my description here: Building Android from Source

Also the manifest file for Android 4.2.2 is broken it seems. Android 4.3 is working though.

Didn´t have time to look into it by now.

dpkg --add-architecture i386

Response:

dpkg: Error: unknown option --add-architecture

repo init --repo-url=git://github.com/android/tools_repo.git -u git://github.com/embest-tech/imx-manifest.git –m embest_android_jb4.3_1.0.0 

Response:

Usage: repo init -u url [options]

My system is Ubuntu 12.04.4.

In Ubuntu you don´t have that parameter in dpkg.

Normally you don´t need to add it. Because with the :i386 when installing the packages with apt it should install the correct versions.

To add i386 to dpkg you´ll have tot do it manually like this.

sh -c "echo 'foreign-architecture i386' > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch"
