make x86_64_ranchu_defconfig
make menuconfig # enable overlayfs and namespaces support here
make -j8
Then create an Android virtual device via android avd
. Here I use x86-64 image for API 24 (7.0 Nougat). Don't forget to use a larger internal memory size when creating the virtual device. (The default is 200MB and I use 2000MB) After that run the emulator with:
emulator -avd (avd_name) -kernel /path/to/goldfish/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -show-kernel
One thing i am currently on is.. how to add network support..
Normal kernel which is part of ASOP when loaded on emulator.. internet is working fine.
But with custom kernel i don't see it working.
Is there a place in ASOP where i get to know the .config file ( menuconfig ) with which ASOP kernels are built?.
-thanks
