5B to 5B+ Android upgrade

#1

Hello!
I am considering upgrading from Rock 5B to Rock 5B+ and I would like to ask if the Android image that I build following the tutorial for Rock 5B will work in Rock 5B+.

Any idea?

Thanks!

@yanw Please check it

Yes, but I suggest you build 5B+ directly, “Radxa Rock 5B Gen2” This is 5B+

I’m using a docker container to build Android 12 specifically for the 5B+. I’m having issues.

I check out the code and setup the environment:

repo init -u https://github.com/radxa/manifests -b Android12_Radxa_rk14 -m rockchip-s-release.xml
repo sync -d -c -j4
source ./build/envsetup.sh

Select the target:

lunch RadxaRock5BGen2-userdebug

Which results in this error:

In file included from build/make/core/config.mk:313:
In file included from build/make/core/envsetup.mk:312:
frameworks/native/build/tablet-10in-xhdpi-2048-dalvik-heap.mk:19: error: _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/rockchip/rk3588/RadxaRock5BGen2/RadxaRock5BGen2.mk]]: “vendor/partner_gms/products/gms.mk” does not exist.
02:36:15 dumpvars failed with: exit status 1

To get around this error. I comment out the “inherit-product” line from RadxaRock5BGen2.mk since I don’t want GMS anyway.

Now the lunch command will work, and I attempt to build:

lunch RadxaRock5BGen2-userdebug
./build.sh -UACKup

Which results in this error:

scripts/kconfig/Makefile:93: *** No configuration exists for this target on this architecture. Stop.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:630: rock5b_gen2.config] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:350: __build_one_by_one] Error 2

failed to build some targets (4 seconds)

Can you help?

Thanks!

Go to the kernel-5.10/kernel/configs directory to see if the rock5b_gen2.config file is missing. You can refer to other files and soft link the file.

That was the issue. Once I created the link the build completed successfully.

Thanks for your help.

Hello midway,
I am following your steps to build the Rock5B+ and everything worked as you described.

Now I have an image and I cannot burn the nvme ssd, did you manage to make it work?

Thanks

Sorry I’m using a SD card. I haven’t tried using a SSD.
