II. Using Method
1．Prepare the Hardware and Software
Hardware Requirement:
Orange Pi 4G-IoT Development Board
A PC for compilation with following specs:
64bit CPU
Up to 16GB RAM
UP to 40GB spare disk space
Operation system should up to Ubuntu12.04, it would be better if it is Ubuntu16.04
You could refer to Google file for more details: https://source.android.com/source/building
Software Requirement:
Orange Pi 4G-IoT SDK
Orange Pi 4G-IoT Firmware
Android-image-flash-tool
2．Power Methods
There are two methods for power supply:
DC （5V 2A）in for power:
Battery in for power:
Usually use 3.7V battery to solder on the back side of the development board.
3．Before Usage
After receiving the product, please put the antennas of the product from the position of Pic 1 to the
position of Pic 2 (or to the outside of the board), which can not be attached to the board so as not to
affect the signal.

III. Android Compilation Environment Construction
1. Download SDK compression package
Android 6.0
Take OrangePi_4G-IoT_Android6.0_V1.0_2018_0126.tar.gz as an example, after get the original
compression package:
mkdir OrangePi_4G-IoT
tar zxvf OrangePi_4G-IoT_Android6.0_V1.0_2018_0126.tar.gz -C
OrangePi_4G-IoT
cd OrangePi_4G-IoT
Android 8.1
After downloaded compression package, you will have 11packages named x00, x01, x02,
x03 ...x10.Put packages on the same directory like the following:
Create directory
mkdir OrangePi_4G-IOT_Android8.1
Copy compress package
cp -rf x00 x01 x02 ... x10
Merge compression package
cat x*>OrangePi_4G-IOT_Android8.1.tar.gz
Decompression
tar xzvf OrangePi_4G-IOT_Android8.tar.gz
2. Construct Compilation Environment
It could also refer to Google file: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
Install JDK
Compilation of Android6.0 is based on JAVA7, it needs to first install OpenJDK before compilation.
Command for installing:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Configure environment variable of JAVA, here is the path for installation:

Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 8www.xunlong.tv
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
It could configure on the terminal with the following command:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
Install Software Package
For Ubuntu12.04:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison ccache gperf libsdl1.2-dev
libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev
zlib1g-dev valgrind libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev
libx11-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev gcc-4.4
g++-4.4 g++-4.4-multilib g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils xsltproc wine
For Ubuntu14.04：
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison ccache gperf libsdl1.2-dev
libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev
zlib1g-dev valgrind libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev
libx11-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
g++-multilib g++-4.8-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils xsltproc libc6-dev-i386 lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0
lib32readline-gplv2-dev wine
We could process to SDK compilation after finished the above.
3. Compilation of SDK Source Code
There are many compilation shell scripts for development.
Android 6.0
The directory would be: SDK/code/orangepi/scripts
$ cd code/orangepi/scripts
$ ls

Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 9www.xunlong.tv
anr_LM.sh auto.sh clean.sh codegen.sh init_project.sh tar_img.sh
auto.sh is automatically compilation script
clean.sh automatically scavenging the compiled result script
On the directory of code/orangepi/scripts, execute the automatically compilation script:
$ ./auto.sh IoT_bd6737m_35g_b_m0_op_smt_hd720_pcb_v2 v00 eng
The meaning of the parameter is:
#$1 project_info [eg: IoT_bd6737m_35g_b_m0_op_smt_hd720_pcb_v2]
#$2 version_info [eg: v00 v01 ...]
#$3 compile_mode [eng:user userdebug eng]
Android 8.1
The directory would be: SDK/code/orangepi/scripts
$ cd code/orangepi/scripts
$ ls
anr_LM.sh auto.sh clean.sh codegen.sh init_project.sh tar_img.sh
auto.sh--scripts for automatic compilation
clean.sh--scripts for automatically cleaning the compiled result
On the directory of code/orangepi/scripts, execute automatic compilation scripts:
$ ./auto.sh IoT_k37mv1_bsp_ry_smt_hd720_pcb_v2 v00 eng
Definition of the three parameters:
#$1 project_info [eg: IoT_k37mv1_bsp_ry_smt_hd720_pcb_v2]
#$2 version_info [eg: v00 v01 ...]
#$3 compile_mode [eng:user userdebug eng]
Execute command to compile:
source build/envsetup.sh
luncher ------>full_k37mv1_bsp-eng
make -j4
Module compilation

Here would take an example of only compilation launcer:
mm packages/apps/Launcher3/ or enter into directory of packages/apps/Launcher3/, execute mm
Please note that some modules depend on the relationship of package, you need to run mma.
4. Generated Firmware
Android6.0
After compiled, the firmware will gather in the directory of: code/IoT_op_smt_hd720_pcb_v2, pack it
and name it like the following: IoT_op_smt_hd720_pcb_v2_v00_eng_20180126140300.tar.gz
$ tree IoT_op_smt_hd720_pcb_v2

Except the above method, it could also be generated into update.image via Linux_Pack_Firmware.

Ubuntu10.04 / 12.04 / 14.04 (32/64bit)
1. Flash Tool Introduction
You could download the Smart Phone Flash Tool on the download page of Orange Pi 4G-IoT part.本
There are tools for Windows and Linux version, you could select a suitable version according to your
PC environment.
Interface like the following:
Using method for both Windows and Linux versions are same, here will illustrate with Linux version.

Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd

2. Method for Image Flashing
Unzip and open flash tool
$ unzip SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1644_Linux.zip
$ cd SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1644_Linux
$ sudo ./flash_tool.sh
If it is the first time you use this software, you might receive the warn like the following. It is normal
to receive this, you could click OK enter into the software. In the future you could manually specified
the path of Scatter File.
Enter into flash mode
a. Switch into Download page like the following:

Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 15 www.xunlong.tv
b. Click choose on the right side of Scatter-loading File and select the path of Scatter File like the
following:

Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 16 www.xunlong.tv
c. After double click the selection, the partition information display section will automatically fill
the path of each partition file and the absolute starting address to which they are to be flashed.
d. In the top left corner of partition information display section, there would be a drop-down menu.
Three of this options:
Format All + Download // Format all information on the partitions and re-download the selected
partition
Firmware Upgrade // Update the difference on the selected partition
Download Only // Re-download no matter there is difference or not
Please note it: Usually update firmware you only need to select Firmware Upgrade, please do not
select Format All + Download
It you select Format All, you will lose the calibration information which we worked before sending
out products. If this situation is inadvertent, please contact the Orange Pi service and obtain the
calibration parameters through the machine code, and re-flash the calibration parameters.
e. Use USB data cable to connect PC and Orange Pi, the right side of Orange Pi will be in red LED.
In this case do not need to connect DC power supply.

Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 17 www.xunlong.tv
f. Click Download button
g. The interface would show like the following after downloaded:
h. Take of the USB cable and insert DC power supply
Wait around 5 seconds, it will display the charging interface of shutdown
When the Power button is loosened after 5 seconds, the system will start to enter the system
When the updated partition is more, the first boot will take a long time (the full partition update needs
8min), please be patient.
3. FAQ
Android8.1 compilation tool chain uses the new Jack server to replace the old compilation tool
chain.
1. Configure Jack server before compilation
①Modify .jack file on the path of $HOME:
