development

Prepare

1. Prepare a usb-serial cable, a 5V/2A adaptor with type-c power supply. The serial cable is used for console debug and type-c cable is used for android image download and ADB debug.
2. Prepare a SDcard at least 8GB for linux development, android only support emmc boot.
3. The SOC rom first boot sequence is emmc, so board can't bootup from SDcard if the emmc is bootable with any image flashed, more info about the image boot sequence please refer to board boot flow.
4.

Android

Prepare

1. Download and install the AML Usb Burning Tool for android image download via type-c, only support windows.
2. Download the AML Burn Card Maker tool for create a bootable sdcard to flash android image to emmc, only support windows.
3. Download the latest android image.
