Overview of this book

Take a deep dive into the Android build system and its customization with Learning Embedded Android Programming, written to help you master the steep learning curve of working with embedded Android. Start by exploring the basics of Android OS, discover Google’s “repo” system, and discover how to retrieve AOSP source code. You'll then find out to set up the build environment and the first AOSP system. Next, learn how to customize the boot sequence with a new animation, and use an Android “kitchen” to “cook” your custom ROM. By the end of the book, you'll be able to build customized Android open source projects by developing your own set of features.

Chapter 5. Customizing Kernel and Boot Sequence

In the previous chapter, we created and deployed our first custom version of Android. We created a version for a commercial smartphone, the Google Nexus 6, and a more hard-core version for a development board, the Udoo Quad. We learned about more development tools, such as ADB and Fastboot. We focused on the debugging tools, mastering the serial connection, and the boot sequence.

In this chapter, we will dive into the system—from the kernel customization to the boot sequence. You will learn how to retrieve the proper source code for Google devices, how to set up the build environment, how to build your first custom version of the Linux kernel, and deploy it to your device. You will learn about:

  • Toolchain overview
  • How to configure the host system to compile your own Linux kernel
  • How to configure the Linux kernel
  • Linux kernel overview
  • Android boot sequence
  • The Init process
