SurfaceFlinger Error When Booting AOSP

Hello,

I am trying to setup AOSP 7.1.2 on a Hikey 620 board (I have a ongoing project so need 7.1.2). I followed the instructions mentioned on this page: https://source.android.com/setup/devices .

I compiled the userspace, kernel, made the bootimage, and then recompiled android again. I tried flashing with pins 1-2 and 3-4 closed. I also tried (in a separate instance) to also use the 1-2 and 5-6 step mentioned in the link above.

I am getting the following error when I try to boot the board:

I wanted to ask if there is any way to resolve this. Is this because the branch I’m trying to setup is older than the master branch ?

Thanks

Officially, only master branch is supported and Mali driver (binary blobs) you downloaded (step 2) are aligned with this master branch. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed.

@Loic Okay thank you.
