Hikey960 and Hikey Android TV Build Target Upstreamed

Products Support HiKey 960
#1

The AOSP master branch now contains two more targets

  • hikey_tv
  • hikey960_tv
    both result in an AOSP TV build for the respective devices

To build follow this guide: Using Reference Boards  |  Android Open Source Project
replace lunch hikey960-userdebug with lunch hikey960_tv-userdebug or lunch hikey-userdebug with lunch hikey_tv-userdebug

I will be writing a proper guide later this week.

Minor issues:

  • WiFi connection UI doesn’t have a “next” button.
    To be able to connect we have to use third-party apps
  • hikey boots to UI with kernel 4.4 or less

gerrit commit in case anyone is interested: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/device/linaro/hikey/+/755308

AOSP TV + HiKey960 - build steps
How to build android TV O in hikey 960
#2

Neat. I’ll have to pick up some hikey’s for this to replace my Nexus player and add a couple more. The 960 is definitely overkill for the purpose and far too expensive to justify.

#3

I have built images from master branch and flashed on Hikey Board, When I connected to TV or through vysor, there is no display. I see a crash in streamHAL. has anyone seen this issue?

I think you can ignore the streamhal errors. I see those in my automotive builds, which work properly.

Have you tried it with other displays? TV’s are often very sensitive to timing, which the hikey960 is not good at. For example, when you call for a 60 Hz refresh rate, the Hikey960 will produce 58 Hz. A lot of TV’s will reject this and display nothing.

I’m not sure what is up with your surfaceflinger errors. Those could be a consequence of the link failure with the TV, or they could be your actual problem.

Don’t waste your time with vysor. If your display isn’t lighting up, then vysor won’t be able to work anyway.

@ric96
Please let us know which third-party apps you used to be able to correct Wi-fi on Hikey-960.
LiveTV app on that ASOP TV version is also in problem, cannot be run.
Below is the issue I’ve seen so far:
