@Lili Thanks for the great work.

I also tried to build Android 10 for RK3399 but could only do it for ‘tablet’.
If I build ‘box’ or ‘tv’ firmware it gets stuck on the bootanimation and doesn’t boot.
Box firmware is needed for better video playback and to also build AndroidTV firmware.
I hope it will be possible in the future since I heard Android 10 is not yet developed for non tablet builds.

@Lili @hipboi
Could you tell me please where can I download the android 10 source for Pi4c board?
I found manual, but it does not contain download link.

Radxa Teams, I want to help you to sold many boards!
I need this sources to build new ROM for car usage. After that I’ll share ROM and many people will buy Pi4c board for their cars.

The code for android10 is not open source yet, so it will take some time.

Can I install the firmware to a SD card?

#13

Only emmc.
But perhaps you could try SDDiskTool v1.71 to make it boot from a micro-sd card but you can’t write it with Etcher.

#14

sddisktool v1.62 works fine! The system runs properly, although it is laggy due to the poor io performance.

@Lili
When do you plan to upload Android 10 source to github?
