Hi,
Recently I bought a HiKey970 and it came with a pre installed Android P - Kernel 4.9.
The download section still has the android 8 images. Could you please provide us the updated image files?
Thanks in advance.
BR,

Board based on the Kirin 970 - HI3670 Application Processor

Someone may have built android 9 and they probably are the best bet to get a pre-built image.
I tried to build the AOSP tree before without any luck.
Exactly. I built Android P and Q images to my previous 960 board, but I’m getting some errors when building to the 970.
It would be nice if someone can provide them 
The stock android images are provided directly by the vendor http://www.lemaker.org/product-hikey970-download-83.html
Those are android 8 he is looking for android 9 PIE.
Hi
As mentioned by @BigCountry907, the images provided by the vendor are outdated (Android 8).
I bought and received the board few weeks ago and it came with Android 9. I would like to have those images since I’m having difficulties to build them.
Actually this image is android 9, I don’t think is the stable release, but it’s definitely android 9.
I recently had to flash this image, and after flashing it has the android pie easter egg in it.
You’re right. I just downloaded the images now and flashed them.
On the website says Android 8, but the images are Android 9 - Kernel 4.9.59.
Thank you very much
in the end, compiling sources did not work for me. can’t put all together when compiling AOSP branch (Pie) , problem is non-treble compliance of this repo.
Has anyone successfully compiled and run AOSP P on Hikey970 board WITH (separate /vendor partition for all SOC/HW acceleration specific components) OR WITHOUT (/system/vendor as Android N) treble compliance ???
I have managed to solve other errors but failed in the end 99% compiling vendor.img because of lack of treble support from the branch. error: “You cannot install files to out/target/product/hikey970/system/vendor while building a separate vendor.img!”; tried compiling vendor partion by enabling BOARD_VENDORIMAGE_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE but looks like this is going to be huge work if i proceed in this direction. all the VINTF, HIDL implementation… 
Any help or guidance greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
The system is indeed android p. However, it only has a sdk version of 26. Does anybody know how to upgrade sdk version (getprop ro.build.version.sdk) on the system?
I tried Android9, more bugs than 8
