Building GloDroid

cd GloDroid
source ./build/envsetup.sh
lunch
# After that you have to select your device from the list
make images

Deploying GloDroid

After successful build you should see images.tar.gz in product output folder: (out/target/product/<name>/images.tar.gz)

Content of archive:

Utilities: adb, fastboot. mke2fs
Partition images: bootloader-sd.img, bootloader-emmc.img, env.img, boot.img, boot_dtbo.img, super.img
Recovery GPT image: deploy-gpt.img
Recovery sdcard images: deploy-sd.img, deploy-sd-for-emmc.img
Scripts: flash-sd.sh, flash-emmc.sh

Step 1

Using any available iso-to-usb utility prepare recovery SDCARD.
In case you want to flash Android on sdcard, use deploy-sd.img
In case you want to flash Android on eMMC, use deploy-sd-for.emmc.img

Step 2

Insert recovery sdcard into the target board.
Connect microusb cable to OTG connector and your PC.
Power-up the board.

Step 3

Ensure you have installed adb package: $ sudo apt install adb (required to setup udev rules)
Run ./flash-sd.sh utility for flashing Android to sdcard or ./flash-emmc.sh for flashing Android to eMMC

After several minutes flashing should complete and Android should boot
