Configuring a New Product

一、细节描述

下面几步描述了如何配置makefile来为运行Android的设备编译系统。
1、在//vendor/目录下创建company目录
mkdir vendor/<company_name>
2、在company目录下创建一个 products目录
mkdir vendor/<company_name>/products/
3、创建一个设备相关的makefile：vendor/<company_name>/products/<first_product_name>.mk这个make文件中至少要包含下面代码：
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/generic.mk)
  #
  # Overrides
  PRODUCT_NAME := <first_product_name>
  PRODUCT_DEVICE := <board_name>
4、在产品定义文件中添加设备相关的变量。
5、在products目录下，创建一个AndroidProducts.mk文件，这个文件指向设备的make文件。
 #
  # This file should set PRODUCT_MAKEFILES to a list of product makefiles
  # to expose to the build system.  LOCAL_DIR will already be set to
  # the directory containing this file. 
  #
  # This file may not rely on the value of any variable other than
  # LOCAL_DIR; do not use any conditionals, and do not look up the
  # value of any variable that isn't set in this file or in a file that
  # it includes.
  #
  
  PRODUCT_MAKEFILES := /
    $(LOCAL_DIR)/first_product_name.mk /
6、在company目录下创建一个包含特定board特征的目录，这个目录需要与PRODUCT_DEVICE这个变量中的<board_name>相匹配。这个目录下会包含一个make文件，这个make文件可以用下面的方式访问到，比如：
mkdir vendor/<company_name>/<board_name>
7、在上步的目录（vendor/<company_name>/<board_name>）下，创建一个BoardConfig.mk文件
# These definitions override the defaults in config/config.make for <board_name>
  #
  # TARGET_NO_BOOTLOADER := false
  #
  TARGET_USE_GENERIC_AUDIO := true
8、如果你想修改系统属性，在目录vendor/<company_name>/<board_name>下创建一个system.prop文件。
	# system.prop for 
  # This overrides settings in the products/generic/system.prop file
  #
  # rild.libpath=/system/lib/libreference-ril.so
  # rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0
9、在products/AndroidProducts.mk文件中添加一个指向<second_product_name>.mk的引用。
	PRODUCT_MAKEFILES := /
    $(LOCAL_DIR)/first_product_name.mk /
    $(LOCAL_DIR)/second_product_name.mk
10、目录vendor/<company_name>/<board_name>下必须包含一个Android.mk文件，这个文件中至少包含下面的代码：
 # make file for new hardware  from 
  #
  LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
  #
  # this is here to use the pre-built kernel
  ifeq ($(TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL),)
  TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := $(LOCAL_PATH)/kernel
  endif
  #
  file := $(INSTALLED_KERNEL_TARGET)
  ALL_PREBUILT += $(file)
  $(file): $(TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL) | $(ACP)
                $(transform-prebuilt-to-target)
  #
  # no boot loader, so we don't need any of that stuff..  
  #
  LOCAL_PATH := vendor/<company_name>/<board_name>
  #
  include $(CLEAR_VARS)
  #
  # include more board specific stuff here? Such as Audio parameters.      
  #
11、想为相同的board创建第二个product时，创建一个名字为vendor/company_name/products/<second_product_name>.mk的make文件，这个文件中包含：
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/generic.mk)
  #
  # Overrides
  PRODUCT_NAME := <second_product_name>
  PRODUCT_DEVICE := <board_name>
目前为止，你已经有了两个新product，<first_product_name>和<second_product_name>，都属于<company_name>。
验证一下一个product是否配置正确，运行
  . build/envsetup.sh
  make PRODUCT-<first_product_name>-user
在/out/target/product/<board_name>目录下，你可以看到生成的二进制文件。

二、产品文件树
没有翻译

三、product定义文件
不同的产品，在它的product定义文件中会对一些变量赋予不同的值，product定义文件可以从其它product定义文件中继承。
Product定义文件中包含的变量如下：

Parameter	Description	Example
PRODUCT_NAME	End-user-visiblename for the overall product. Appears in the "About thephone" info.
PRODUCT_MODEL	End-user-visiblename for the end product
PRODUCT_LOCALES	A space-separatedlist of two-letter language code, two-letter country code pairsthat describe several settings for the user, such as the UIlanguage and time, date and currency formatting. The first localelisted in PRODUCT_LOCALES is is used if the locale has never beenset before. 地区标识	en_GBde_DE es_ES fr_CA
PRODUCT_PACKAGES	Lists the APKs toinstall. 在这个product中要安装的APK列表。	CalendarContacts
PRODUCT_DEVICE	Name of theindustrial design 生产商的名字	dream
PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER	Name of themanufacturer 制造商的名字	acme
PRODUCT_BRAND	The brand (e.g.,carrier) the software is customized for, if any 软件定制后的分支标识。
PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES	List of propertyassignments in the format "key=value" 属性列表，以"key=value"形式列出。
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES	List of wordslike source_path:destination_path.The file at the source path should be copied to the destinationpath when building this product. The rules for the copy steps aredefined in config/Makefile 当编译时，源路径上的文件会被复制到目标路径上去，具体的复制规则在config/Makefile中定义。
PRODUCT_OTA_PUBLIC_KEYS	List of OTApublic keys for the product
PRODUCT_POLICY	Indicate whichpolicy this product should use
PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS	Indicate whetherto use default resources or add any product specific overlays	vendor/acme/overlay
PRODUCT_CONTRIBUTORS_FILE	HTML filecontaining the contributors to the project. 包含了项目贡献者名字列表的HTML文件。
PRODUCT_TAGS	list ofspace-separated words for a given product

下面给出了一个经典的product定义文件
$(call inherit-product, build/target/product/generic.mk)

#Overrides
PRODUCT_NAME := MyDevice
PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER := acme
PRODUCT_BRAND := acme_us
PRODUCT_LOCALES := en_GB es_ES fr_FR
PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS := vendor/acme/overlay
