Issue while building Android_rk12.1 for Radxa ROCK 5B

AndreyB · April 23, 2023, 1:28pm

Hello,

Could you please help me to fix issues I faced while building Android_rk12.1 for Radxa ROCK 5B. I am building an Android in order to get support of WiFi RTL8852BE with 10ec:b852 and custom screen resolutions.

The issues are:

error: Cannot link file build/bazel/bazel.BUILD to … rock-android12/BUILD
Build sandboxing disabled due to nsjail error.
make[1]: *** Documentation/Kbuild: Is a directory. Stop.

I already added that wifi driver, it doesn’t work.
Are you using Windows, must be Linux.

AndreyB · April 23, 2023, 3:42pm

Did you modify {“RTL8852BE”, “10ec:b852”}," in frameworks/opt/net/wifi/libwifi_hal/rk_wifi_ctrl.cpp ?
I see that driver is already included doing:

insmod /vendor/lib/modules/8852be.ko
stop
start

make wifi working, but I would like to have WiFi working right after boot without manual operations

I use Docker under MacOS. Doing checkout inside docker fixed issues related to link files and Kbuild: Is a directory

Yes already added to my firmware.
But only the A8 from Allnet has working wifi, bluetooth.
The Lenova m2 wifi card still has no wifi, users reported even after that change.
It seems it can only work on Linux 6.x kernel with the rw89 wifi driver and not Android that uses a 5.10 kernel. I asked Realtek, Rockchip & Radxa a several weeks ago and no one came back to me so it is probably not possible to get it working.

I have RTL8852BE working in Android, but it required to manually load kernel module and do stop/start.
Currently stacked with the following error, could you please help me to find a solution for the issue below:

Looks like cpio was missed.

I use Ubuntu 18.04 - it has outdated lz4 and therefore instead of doing apt-get install liblz4-tool - it is required to download sources and compile manually:
wget https://github.com/lz4/lz4/archive/refs/tags/v1.9.4.zip
unzip v1.9.4.zip
cd 1.9.4 && make && make install

It looks like I am finally stuck:

Looks like due to:

and

I was able to build working image in Ubuntu 22.04

stulluk · June 5, 2023, 12:15pm

@AndreyB how did you manage to build it ? Via this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69225444 ? Or by downgrading your kernel to be older than 5.19 ? Could you please let me know?

mo123 · June 5, 2023, 3:31pm

Make sure you are building with Java 8.
I use Ubuntu 22.04 and installed the build packages.
Older Ubuntu might give problems or when using a VM on a MAC.
