Development Environment

This page summarizes the Android and Linux development environment preparation.

Ubuntu Recommendation​

  • Full Android source compilation requires high PC performance. Installing Ubuntu directly is recommended.
  • The Android platform uses Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit as the typical environment.
  • Linux source compilation can also use Ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04 depending on the delivered SDK.

Common Tools​

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install meld minicom picocom ckermit android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Serial Tool​

sudo picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

Exit:

Ctrl+a
Ctrl+q

JDK​

The Android platform commonly uses JDK 8:

export PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin:$PATH

ADB​

Debug UART​

The default debug UART is UART2. When using SecureCRT on Windows, select Serial, use the baud rate required by the platform, and disable flow control.
