How to create new splash on android

1. Using GIMP to create new picture and store is as BMP file
2. Convert BMP to RAW format
    #convert initlogo.bmp rgb:initlogo.raw
3. Convert RAW to RLE format
    #rgb2565 < initlogo.raw > initlogo.rle

Image convert obj file by objcopy

objcopy

copy and translate object files:

• 複製 .o 檔 (obj file) 的內部內容到另一個檔案中 (.o 檔或是單純地做 hex dump)
• 將一個 binary data (如JPEG 圖片) 做成 .o 檔
• 把執行碼從 ELF 中抽取出來
• 只抽取指定的 section

常用參數

objcopy [`-I' bfdname|`--input-target='bfdname]
        [`-O' bfdname|`--output-target='bfdname]
        [`-B' bfdarch|`--binary-architecture='bfdarch]
        [`-S'|`--strip-all']
        [`-g'|`--strip-debug']
        [`-j' sectionname|`--only-section='sectionname]
        [`-R' sectionname|`--remove-section='sectionname]
        [`--help']
        infile [outfile]

 Ex:
splash.o:
    $(OBJCOPY) -I binary -O elf32-littlearm -B arm initlogo.rle $@
  

How to separate config into project

How to separate config into project:

Ex: If we want to access different DRAM, we must build differnet config into image

1. bootloader:
Bootloader need to build different configuration

step1:
Makefile:

+project_config \
+project_512m_config : unconfig
+ @./mkconfig -a cpuproject arm cpu cpuproject
+ @if [ "$(findstring 512m, $@)" ] ; then \
+ echo "#define CONFIG_DRAM_512" >> ./include/config.h ; \
+ else \
+ echo "#define CONFIG_DRAM_1G" >> ./include/config.h ; \
+ fi;


step2: Using this flag to separate DRAM setting
+#ifdef CONFIG_DRAM_512
+ init_ddr();
+#endif



2. kernel
We use parameter to feed build kernel.

step1: Using parameter to feed build kernel
kernel:
make -C $(KERNEL_PATH) ARCH=$(ARCH) $(KERNEL_CONFIG)
make -C $(KERNEL_PATH) BUILD_PLATFORM=$(PLATFORM) ARCH=$(ARCH) CROSS_COMPILE=$(CROSS_COMPILE) bzImage

kernel/Makefile:
+ifeq ($(BUILD_PLATFORM),test)
+KBUILD_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_TEST1
+else
+KBUILD_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_TEST2
+endif
+

step2: Using this flag to separate different config

+#if defined(CONFIG_TEST1)
+ init_test1();
+#else
+ init_test2();
+#end

how to git format patch in project

#+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#This only for one git project
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
$git checkout -b BSP-M1 remotes/pobu_git_server/BSP-M1
$git checkout PROJECT-M1
$git format-patch --binary -o __patches BSP-M1...HEAD
$git am __patches/*

#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#This for repo project
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#step1: Collect the patch file
$repo forall -pvc 'git checkout -b BSP-M1 remotes/pobu_git_server/BSP-M1'
$repo forall -pvc 'git checkout PROJECT-M1'
$repo forall -pvc 'git format-patch --binary -o __patches BSP-M1...HEAD'
$find . -name '__patches' -type d -print0 | xargs -0 tar czf patch.tar.gz

#step2: If you get new release and apply this patches
cd new_release
cp ../old_release/patches.tar.gz .
tar xzf patches.tar.gz
repo forall -pvc 'git am __patches/*'

#step3 : Solve conflicts
Dirty works. Use git am (--continue | --skip | --abort) to deal with it.
Please reference http://schacon.github.com/git/git-am.html.

#step4: Clean the patches
cd ../old_release
find -name '__patches' -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
cd ../new_release
find -name '__patches' -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

Android Sensor Path

Application layer: application
Application Framwork : Sensor Manager
Sensor JNI
Libraries: Sensor Manager <--> Sensor Service <--> Sensor HAL
Kernel : Input dirver subsystem and Event Dev
Sensor driver


# Sensor Manager Application Layer: /frameworks/base/core/java/android/hardware folder
# Sensor JNI layer: /frameworks/base/core/jni/android_hardware_SensorManager.cpp file
# Sensor Manager Library: /frameworks/base/libs/gui folder
# Sensor Service: /frameworks/base/services/sensorservice folder
# Sensor HAL: /hardware/ti/omap3/libsensors folder
# Accelerometer Sensor driver: /drivers/input/misc/xxxxx.c file



Note: Android 2.3 change the sensor service as Native Sensor code.

Linux script : backslash "\"

backslash "\" : escape next special characters

Ex:
echo "Path is $PATH" ---> This will show $PATH content
echo "Path is \$PATH" ---> This will show $PATH string

The backslash wiil remove the specail meaning of dollar($) sign
