Android Build and Flash

Source Package

Get the Android source package from the network-disk path DVD_x8385/source/. The example package name in the manual is:

x8385_Android13.tar.gz

Extract it:

tar -xzvf x8385_Android13.tar.gz
cd x8385_Android13

note

The package name may vary by release date. Use the actual file name in the network-disk package.

Build Source

Build images with a normal user account. MTK projects are usually full builds, so it is better to batch changes before rebuilding.

./build.sh -A -u

Generated images are placed in the output directory.
