Device specific configuration to build AOSP Android 16 for Orange Pi 5 series boards with rk3588s

---

How to build (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS):

1. Establish Android build environment.

2. Make sure to run the below commands to install some dependencies

sudo apt-get install dosfstools e2fsprogs fdisk kpartx mtools rsync
sudo pip3 install meson mako jinja2 ply pyyaml dataclasses

3. Initialize repo:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-16.0.0_r3
curl -o .repo/local_manifests/manifest_rk_opi.xml -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dvab-sarma/android_local_manifest/android-16.0_r3/manifest_rk_opi.xml --create-dirs

Or optionally, you can reduce download size by creating a shallow clone and removing unneeded projects:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-16.0.0_r3 --depth=1
curl -o .repo/local_manifests/manifest_rk_opi.xml -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dvab-sarma/android_local_manifest/android-16.0_r3/manifest_rk_opi.xml --create-dirs
curl -o .repo/local_manifests/remove_projects.xml -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dvab-sarma/android_local_manifest/android-16.0_r3/remove_projects.xml

4. Sync source code:

repo sync -j$(nproc)

5. Setup Android build environment:

. build/envsetup.sh

6. Select the device (opi5_pro ) and build target (tablet UI, tv for Android TV, or car for Android Automotive):

lunch aosp_opi5_pro-bp3a-userdebug

lunch aosp_opi5_pro_tv-bp3a-userdebug

lunch aosp_opi5_pro_car-bp3a-userdebug

7. Compile:

make bootimage systemimage vendorimage -j$(nproc)

8. Make flashable image for the device (opi5 series boards):

./opi5_pro-mkimg.sh

UPDATE FOR RK3566 (Orange pi 3b v2.1)

• Currently, this update (qpr1) support is only for Rockchip's rk3588 SoC, Would be releasing for rk3566 in near future. For AOSP 16 on rk3566, Please use the android-16.0 branch of this project.

---

Also look into Linux kernel build instructions.

The kernel version is 6.15, which is not the recommended kernel for android 15 or 16. It should work fine since most of the patches for rk3588 were upstreamed to kernel version 6.14 and the recommended kernel 6.12 for android 16 was missing the patches.

The rockchip drm was patched in this kernel attached in this github. So, it is recommended to use the kernel in this github.

Issues:

• Camera doesn't work, since the mainline devicetree doesn't have the camera. Will be fixed in the future.
• 3.5 mm port doesn't work.
• Ethernet port isn't working.
• USB 3.0 doesn't work.
• Android
• Linux kernel

Prebuilt Images

• You can download the android 15 / 16 prebuilt images for various boards from this google drive link. Here

Wiki:

• Main Wiki
• Mesa3D

TODO:

• Camera drivers need to be developed for rockchip based devices.
• Audio needs to be configured properly.
