[OPi Win Plus] Android problem

silentbogo · Published in 2017-7-27 22:17:59

The Android distro from official downloads simply does not work.
I've already attempted the following:
- Using Win32DiskImager
- Using PhoenixCard tool
- manually DD the image onto SD card

Tried 3 different SD cards of different sizes (from 4GB to 16GB).

In either case, all I get is black screen.

Is there a working Android distribution for Orange Pi Win Plus?

So, none of the official android distros worked for me.

The only success I had, was with Pine A64 Android distributions, but those are also not fully functional.

Both Android 7.1 and Remix OS 2 are able to boot to desktop, and they react to power button as intended, but I can't get any USB device to work (can't use keyboard or mouse).
Even a bluethooth dongle is unresponsive, while connected. Also no reaction on OTG port.
I thought it might've been a power issue, but Pine A64 uses the exact same PMU and is pretty much identical in terms of hardware.
USB HUB is also out of the question, because it is working fine in Ubuntu.

Same here,
I've tried to compile the android source code, but it gets: "ERROR: build kernel Failed" on first run of "./build.sh config && ./build.sh", with the config:
  0. sun50iw (as far as I know A64 chipset),
  0. kernel 3.10 (kernel 3.4 has no config files and crashes),
  0. android
  0. to 6. for 0. fpga, 1. p1, 2. perf1_v1_0, 3. perf2_v1_0, 4. perf3_v1_0, 5. t1 and 6. t1_v1 returns same error (I'm not sure which board is, but all of them returns same error).

I've not been able to set up the environment in ubuntu (due to apt problems, with "apt-get update"), so I tried on debian 8.
I was very thrilled about OPI Win plus possibilities after reading Orange Pi web, but now I see there were only castles in the sky.

Now I'm just decieved

android

Ok, ubuntu apt problems, were my fault: firewall problem.
I'm following the tutorial on "Building your own Android firmware".
Deployed development environment on Ubuntu 14.04.5 Server, with java 6 SDK, now builds on "sun50iw1p1" (suposed A64 chip), "android" platform, "linux-3.10" kernel (linux-3.4 has no "arm64" so it ought be 3.10).
Now it compiles with some warnings:

WARNING: could not find drivers/media/platform/sunxi-vfe/lib/.libisp.cmd for drivers/media/platform/sunxi-vfe/lib/libisp
WARNING: could not find drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/hdmi/.libhdmi_sun50iw1.cmd for drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/hdmi/libhdmi_sun50iw1
WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'

Copy code

But successfull on all boards:

sun50iw1p1 compile Kernel successful
INFO: build kernel OK.
INFO: build rootfs ...
INFO: skip make rootfs for android
INFO: build rootfs OK.
INFO: ----------------------------------------
INFO: build lichee OK.
INFO: ----------------------------------------

Copy code

The point now is know which board Orange Pi Win Plus is:

0. fpga
1. p1
2. perf1_v1_0
3. perf2_v1_0
4. perf3_v1_0
5. t1
6. t1_v1

Copy code

Since PINE64 seems to use "t1", I'll try this.
But I cannot finish the section "Build lichee packages" as there is no file "op-config" at "lichee/linux-3.10/arch/arm64/configs", so I cannot include missing drivers when recompiling kernel.
Whats more, when executing "lunch" command on "Build Android" section, there is no project called "sugar_orangepi", the options are:

Lunch menu... pick a combo:
1. aosp_arm-eng
2. aosp_arm64-eng
3. aosp_mips-eng
4. aosp_mips64-eng
5. aosp_x86-eng
6. aosp_x86_64-eng
7. astar_yh-eng
8. astar_yh-user
9. astar_y3-eng
10. astar_y3-user
11. octopus_n1-eng
12. octopus_n1-user
13. tulip_p1-eng
14. tulip_p1-user
15. octopus_ibt-eng
16. octopus_ibt-user
17. octopus_f1-eng
18. octopus_f1-user
19. tulip_perf-eng
20. tulip_perf-user
21. kylin_p2-eng
22. kylin_p2-user
23. jasmine_perf-eng
24. jasmine_perf-user
25. tulip_t1-eng
26. tulip_t1-user
27. kylin_p1-eng
28. kylin_p1-user
29. octopus_perf-eng
30. octopus_perf-user
31. astar_h7-eng
32. astar_h7-user
33. aosp_shamu-userdebug
34. aosp_flo-userdebug
35. m_e_arm-userdebug
36. mini_emulator_arm64-userdebug
37. mini_emulator_x86_64-userdebug
38. mini_emulator_mips-userdebug
39. mini_emulator_x86-userdebug
40. aosp_flounder-userdebug
41. aosp_manta-userdebug

Copy code

I need some information about how to recompile kernel to include drivers, and which to pick of the above list, as there are too many options... :_(

Thanks in advance

I for my part feel that I am going to have to vote the plaque, I have put everything that sounds or looks like A64 and nothing is 100% compatible, armbian probe, it works but I speak Spanish and I could not translate well, probe raspbian Comes in Chinese, I try to put it in Spanish but when I finish the translation for the console and reboot does not go up again and if it does not recognize the keyboard as it is written.

I tried the banana andrid 6 which is very nice and with good graphic image but the keyboard and mouse do not work [if someone can adapt this would be very good]

I've tried Fedora ....

I am desperate, I have more than a month that I received this plaque and in truth it only took away time.

Who has an android image with kodi, please share it

Ok, actually I'm trying to build andriod image.
Build environment: Ubuntu 14.04.5
HowTo: "Building your own Android firmware"

Found some documentation about it, so I've made some progress.
At "Build lichee packages" section, instead of

./build.sh -p sun7i_android

Copy code

use

./build.sh config
./build.sh

Copy code

with the following data:

- The chip model is "sun50iw1p1".
- The platform "android".
- The kernel "linux 3.10" (64bit).
- The board "t1".

Copy code

Then change to folder "android"

cd ../android

Copy code

Make file inclusion:

source ./build/envsetup.sh

Copy code

Execute "lunch":

lunch

Copy code

And select:

tulip_p1-eng

Copy code

Then copy the kernel and drive module:

extract-bsp

Copy code

Compile it:

make

Copy code

And finally pack it:

pack

Copy code

I'll give it a try, though perhaps have no video due to warnings about drivers recieved on first compilation ("build.sh").

My environment is Ubuntu 14.04.5
jdk can be installed from repositories: "apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk", so it does the right version, otherwise "make" command, doesn't work.

Result: FAILED
"Make" command failed:

#### make failed to build some targets (09:28:03 (hh:mm:ss)) ####

Copy code

So "pack" command neither worked

Probably due to missing drivers or warnings during "build.sh", but not sure, as I've no expirience.

Dragon execute image.cfg Failed ! ArgCnt = 3, 400
pack finish

Copy code

The error(?) output when compiling android is:

Seems that there is some configuration missing...
Any ideas?

Any updates? Have you guys been able to run any decent os on this board?
