Build AOSP for HiKey970

Build preparation

The following instructions can be used to attempt a build based on the AOSP master branch. Other branches (such as stable/release branches are not supported).

In this page, we assume that <ANDROID_TOP> is the top level folder for your Android environment. e.g.:

$ mkdir <ANDROID_TOP>
$ cd <ANDROID_TOP>

Then run:

$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b master
$ git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/android-manifest.git -b hikey970_v1.0 .repo/local_manifests
$ repo sync -j$(nproc) -c
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch hikey970-userdebug

It might take quite a bit of time to fetch the entire AOSP source code!
