Automotive android device folder migration for ixora board

[Nurys]

I have successfully built an android automotive os using a reference that comes from open source nxp, but what I built is an android automotive os for the mek_8q target board, so I want to build for the ixora carrier board. How can I build the android automotive os for the ixora carrier board? what is required?

To build the Android Automotive OS for the Ixora carrier board, you need to follow these steps:

1. Reference Documentation: Start by consulting the documentation provided by NXP for the Ixora carrier board. This will give you specific instructions, hardware specifications, and any unique requirements that differ from the mek_8q target board.

2. Device Tree and Kernel Configurations: Modify the existing device tree and kernel configurations used for the mek_8q target board to match the hardware specifications of the Ixora board. This step is crucial for ensuring the OS functions correctly on the new hardware.

3. Board Support Package (BSP): Obtain the correct BSP for the Ixora board, which includes specific drivers and configurations tailored for the Ixora hardware. This package is essential for compatibility and performance.

4. Build Environment Setup: Ensure your development environment is set up with the necessary tools and SDKs, including the Android SDK, NDK, and any other dependencies required for building the Android Automotive OS.

5. Adapt Existing Build Configurations: Adapt your existing build configurations from the mek_8q target board to suit the Ixora specifications. This involves modifying device tree files, kernel configurations, and ensuring the necessary drivers for the Ixora board are included in the build.

6. Testing and Validation: After building the OS, conduct thorough testing on the Ixora board to ensure all functionalities work as expected. Validate the performance of the OS, check for hardware compatibility, and ensure all automotive features are operational.

7. Specific Hardware Considerations: Be aware of specific hardware configurations and requirements for the Ixora board, such as GPIO configurations, power management settings, and any unique components that may differ from the mek_8q target board.

By following these steps and ensuring you have the correct configurations, resources, and testing protocols in place, you should be able to successfully build the Android Automotive OS for the Ixora carrier board.

Hi @Nurys

This is a continuation of your previous question (How to boot AAOS on Tezi).
So, were you able to contact our partners? Kynetics or Sibrain?

I’m asking this because Toradex don’t provide support for Android, so we can’t really help you.
But we have some partners that specifically works with Android and have successfully ported the Android OS to the Apalis iMX8 devices. And they can for sure help you develop your product.
