android_local_manifest/emulator

Device specific configuration to build AOSP Android 16 (android-16.0.0_r4) for the Android Emulator (goldfish/ranchu, x86_64).

Boots via the emulator binary (QEMU/ranchu, direct kernel boot) — there is no flashable image or mkimg.sh-equivalent step, unlike the rpi/ targets.

How to build (Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS):

After setting up the Android build environment, do:

1. Clone PawletOS-Build and install its dependencies:

git clone https://git.oxmc.me/PawletOS/PawletOS-Build
cd PawletOS-Build
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2. Download the repo.yml config for this target:

curl -o repo.yml -L https://git.oxmc.me/PawletOS/android_local_manifest/raw/branch/android-16.0/emulator/repo.yml

Or optionally, to reduce download size with a shallow clone:

curl -o repo.yml -L https://git.oxmc.me/PawletOS/android_local_manifest/raw/branch/android-16.0/emulator/repo-shallow.yml

3. Run the build script (clones source and syncs it based on repo.yml):

python3 ./environ.py --applyPatches

4. source the environment:

. AOSP-Source/build/envsetup.sh

5. Select the device and build variant:

lunch pawlet_x86_64_emulator-trunk_staging-userdebug

6. Compile:

make -j$(nproc)

7. Run:

export ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=$(pwd)/AOSP-Source/out/target/product/x86_64_emulator
emulator
