Compiling boot.img for particular device - General Questions and Answers

I want to compile android for a new device with that setup:
Code:
PLATFORM
OS Android 7.0 (Nougat)
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8940 Snapdragon 435
CPU Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53

Do I have emulator that I can config for that setup?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I know that page but cant find there
the concrete differences in conifgs between different
chipset?

What do you mean "configs between different chipset"? Setting up the environment is a universal thing, the differences should come when you sync repo to download your device's source code. Sync the correct source and you're ready to go, as far as I know.

menagers please close this one: found my answer

Hi,
as written, i have motorola atrix (MB860).
I whould like to know if any of you guys operating systems recognizing your 2 cores? is it identifies Cortex A-9 chipset?
all of my operating systems (...includding ics alpha and beta ) so far always showed : arm v7 instead of arm v9.
now, i have two questions:
1: Do you ran into a version which idetifies the correct (arm A-9) chipset?
2: This one is ONLY for who knows for sure - is "arm v7" just wrong tagging name and the system is working and using the changes made from arm v7 to arm v9? (ofcourse in that case i won't mind what's written as long as the device working as it should).
thanks guys,
tomer

[Q] Is the tf700t 64bit or 32 bit

Is this tablet a 64bit or 32 bit. I could not find a single anwser on the web. Thanks in advanced.

32bit. I believe we do have ARM 64bit, but not yet implemented for our devices. When our device required more than 4gb of memory then you should see the 64bit Droid version.
Thanks, that clears things up a bit.

There is no ARMv8 64 bit hardware available yet, but Linux has been recently (kernel 3.7) ported to AArch64.

Yes, I remember that it supports the most popular chipset for ARM. Also, what is the latest version of arm?

It's a bit confusing, here is a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ARM_microprocessor_cores

So, that means that this tablet has the latest version of arm then, right?
Never mind, I just found out it uses an ARMv7 instruction set.
I after reading that article I found out Nvidia has been naming the Tegra 3 cpu models after comic book super heroes. :laugh: :laugh:

CPU architecture

I know this seems to be a dumb question to some, but what is the MOTO G3 architecture, ARM, MIPS, or X86?
ARM

Yes, and just to clarify that even though the processor is capable of 64-bit we do NOT have an arm64 OS, it is just arm (32-bit).

Hiteker U804mc

Hey whatsup, thx for the hospitality and for all of your efforts to help the community!
Maybe u can help me with something, Ive been searching tirelessly for a basic/stock android 7.1 rom for my generic chinese tablet. I understand this may not even exist as there is a lack of demand/support for these tablets.
Normally I would spend my time learning to create a custom rom for these tablets but Im currently overseas without access to a computer. How can i go about getting a custom rom developed for these tablets? Are there any people that would do this for money and if so what would this cost?
The tablet is branded as a Hiteker model U804mc, ARM Cortex A53 1.3ghz, Mali T720, with an mt8163 chipset.

If anybody has any feedback that could help it would be appreciated! Also, is it feasible to try and adapt a custom rom using just my phone??? Please point me in the right direction here im no stranger to hard work. Or is this a lost cause?

Question Help compiling kernel with KVM

Hi,
I wanted to compile a custom kernel with KVM for the ROG Phone 5 on the latest Android 12 (EU variant) so I looked at the Kirisakura kernel for base (from @Freak07) and I looked at the script that starts compiling the kernel. I could not find some things that was required such as the Google's GCC thing or the "DU_Tools" but I still managed to start compiling the kernel after editing the defconfig file using make menuconfig to enable KVM. Once I did that I ran the script but after like two minutes I got an error (Error 2).
So can someone help me doing this please?
Thanks.
Hey Alex - been looking in to creating a build script using docker for this out of curiosity.
Out of interest though - how are you planning to use KVM once it's enabled?
Moved all of my development efforts from XDA.

Hey, I didn't tried using docker (because I don't know how to xD) and I want to use KVM because I heard that the Snapdragon 888 is compatible with it so I was thinking about doing a Windows 10 arm VM with native performance.

Got this building cleanly and producing a flashable ZIP:
GitHub - cawilliamson/Kirisakura_ANAKIN_ROG5 at master_release_s_1
Contribute to cawilliamson/Kirisakura_ANAKIN_ROG5 development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
Build instructions:
Code:
$ cd <kernel sources>/build/
$ ./build.sh
You will need Docker installed on your system via whatever means necessary and this is really aimed at Linux systems although you could also run the build on a Windows or Mac PC if you setup Docker correctly.

Thanks I will try that

Your chances of getting that working easily are slim.
Adding the KVM support to the kernel is easy but the problem you then get is about switching the CPU to "HYP" mode. (just based on what I read online)
If you have further info about this I'd be interested in reading it and seeing if we can get something which works. What I can tell you is that /dev/kvm does not get created simply by the changes I made.
Also be aware that /proc/config.gz is spoofed in these kernels with the "stock" config file so running something like "zcat /proc/config.gz" wont show KVM is enabled but it is.

Yes you are R8! Without hyp we can't enable KVM support.. but i found a site where telling android 13 has full KVM support.. but don't know it's true or not..
Because KVM support only available on some snapdragon chipset only..
Redirect Notice
Can't all of this work be ported to the Infinix NOTE 8 on Android 10 too?
