I'm newer to AOSP building, but now have successfully built various AOSP build configurations, but never been able to boot a built image. I'm on macOS (BigSur). Any insights/gotchas would be super helpful.
I mainly use a M1 mac (aarm64), but have also tried on an Intel (x86_64), tried multiple image builds on each, but same result - black screen on boot. ADB show the emulator as offline once launched so it doesn't seem to be specific to a graphical issue more likely a boot. What I have tried the following builds: - aosp_x86_64-userdebug - aosp_x86_64-eng - aosp_arm64-eng - sdk_phone_arm64-userdebug - aosp_tv_arm64-eng Branches: - mainline - android11_r37 Machines/architectures - macOS BigSur, M1 (aarm64) 16GB - macOS BigSur, Intel (x86_64) 32GB Building AOSP is not a problem, except when it comes to the M1 and needing the 11.x MacOSSDK. I was able to patch the build in necessary places to build to completion - this is all in build/soong so it's not the actual AOSP code needing a change. I have also tried various GPU options when launching the emulator in case of graphical rendering issues. There's some hiccups with CoreAudio not initializing on the M1 Mac, but disabling audio (-noaudio) gets around this. As far as I can tell nothing is wrong from using -debug-init and -verbose emulator flags. All the image files are there, as far as I can tell Here's the log of the latest M1 build using aosp_tv_arm64-eng: emulator: Android emulator version 30.3.5.0 (build_id 7036990) (CL:N/A) emulator: Found ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT: /Volumes/android/out/target/product/generic_arm64 emulator: Found build target architecture: arm64 emulator: argv[0]: '/Users/builduser/Downloads/Android Emulator.app/Contents/MacOS/emulator/emulator';
