lunch command not displaying hiKey as target even after installing

I have a directory to which the android source tree is downloaded from the repo. Now i have downloaded "https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/linaro-hikey-20160226-67c37b1a.tgz" and placed this under source directory and ran the following command

$ tar xzf linaro-hikey-20160226-67c37b1a.tgz

$ ./extract-linaro-hikey.sh

When i try to build against HiKey target, using the following command . ./build/envsetup.sh and then lunch

It is not listing the Hikey as a target. Can anyone help?

Solution

  • The Linaro Hikey was not yet added to a release branch in AOSP. I presume you picked a release branch such as android_6.0.1_r9. repo sync the master branch. and it should appear as a lunch option.

    The commit where the device dir for hikey was added is: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest/+/39e102a459e4b0accd5fbe6df64c9253d3f9616c
