<h1>Build</h1>
|
|
<h2>Build dependencies</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>x86_64 Linux build environment (macOS is not supported, unlike AOSP which
|
|
partially supports it)</li>
|
|
<li>Android Open Source Project build dependencies</li>
|
|
<li>Linux kernel build dependencies</li>
|
|
<li>16GiB of memory or more</li>
|
|
<li>200GiB of free storage space</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Downloading source code</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Since this is syncing the sources for the entire operating system and application
|
|
layer, it will use a lot of bandwidth and storage space.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You likely want to use the most recent stable tag, not the development branch, even
|
|
for developing a feature. It's easier to port between stable tags that are known to
|
|
work properly than dealing with a moving target.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Development branch</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The pie branch is currently used for all supported devices:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>mkdir grapheneos-pie
|
|
cd grapheneos-pie
|
|
repo init -u https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platform_manifest.git -b pie
|
|
repo sync -j32</pre>
|
|
|
|
</p>If your network is unreliable and <code>repo sync</code> fails, you can run the
|
|
<code>repo sync</code> command again as many times as needed for it to fully
|
|
succeed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Stable release</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Pick a specific build for a device from the <a href="/releases">releases page</a>
|
|
and download the source tree. Note that some devices use different Android Open Source
|
|
Project branches so they can end up with different tags. Make sure to use the correct
|
|
tag for a device. For devices without official support, use the latest tag for the
|
|
Pixel 3.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>mkdir grapheneos-TAG_NAME
|
|
cd grapheneos-TAG_NAME
|
|
repo init -u https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platform_manifest.git -b refs/tags/TAG_NAME</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Verify the manifest:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>gpg --recv-keys 65EEFE022108E2B708CBFCF7F9E712E59AF5F22A
|
|
gpg --recv-keys 4340D13570EF945E83810964E8AD3F819AB10E78
|
|
cd .repo/manifests
|
|
git verify-tag --raw $(git describe)
|
|
cd ../..</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Complete the source tree download:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>repo sync -j32</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Verify the source tree:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>repo forall -c 'git verify-tag --raw $(git describe)' || echo Verification failed!</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>These instructions will be extended in the future to check the verify-tag
|
|
output.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the repo command itself takes care of updating itself and uses gpg to
|
|
verify by default.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Updating and switching branches/tags</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To update the source tree, run the <code>repo init</code> command again to select
|
|
the branch or tag and then run <code>repo sync -j32</code> again. You may need to add
|
|
<code>--force-sync</code> if a repository from switched from one source to another,
|
|
such as when GrapheneOS forks an additional Android Open Source Project repository.
|
|
You don't need to start over to switch between different branches or tags. You may
|
|
need to run <code>repo init</code> again to continue down the same branch since
|
|
GrapheneOS only provides a stable history via tags.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Chromium and WebView</h2>
|
|
|
|
Before building GrapheneOS, you need to build Chromium for the WebView and
|
|
<em>optionally</em> the standalone browser app. GrapheneOS uses a hardened fork of
|
|
Chromium for these. It needs to be rebuilt when Chromium is updated or the GrapheneOS
|
|
<code>chromium_patches</code> repository changes.
|
|
|
|
Chromium and the WebView are independent applications built from the Chromium source tree. The
|
|
GrapheneOS Chromium build is located at external/chromium and includes the WebView.
|
|
|
|
See <a href="https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/android-build-instructions">
|
|
Chromium's Android build instructions</a> for details on obtaining the prerequisites.
|
|
|
|
<p>You can obtain the proper configuration from the
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/GrapheneOS/chromium_build">
|
|
GrapheneOS chromium_build repository</a> including the correct version.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>mkdir chromium
|
|
cd chromium
|
|
fetch --nohooks android</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sync to the latest stable release for Android (replace $VERSION with the correct
|
|
value):</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>gclient sync --with_branch_heads -r $VERSION --jobs 32</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Apply the GrapheneOS patches on top of the tagged release:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>git clone https://github.com/GrapheneOS/chromium_patches.git
|
|
cd src
|
|
git am ../chromium_patches/*.patch</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Then, configure the build in the <code>src</code> directory:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>gn args out/Default</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>To build Monochrome, which provides both Chromium and the WebView:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>ninja -C out/Default/ monochrome_public_apk</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The apk needs to be copied from <code>out/Default/apks/MonochromePublic.apk</code>
|
|
into the Android source tree at
|
|
<code>external/chromium/prebuilt/arm64/MonochromePublic.apk</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Standalone builds of Chromium and the WebView can be done via the
|
|
<code>chrome_modern_public_apk</code> and <code>system_webview_apk</code> targets but
|
|
those aren't used by GrapheneOS. The build system isn't set up for including them and
|
|
the standalone WebView isn't whitelisted in
|
|
<code>frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/config_webview_packages</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Kernel</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The kernel needs to be built in advance, since it uses a separate build system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, to build the kernel for blueline:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>cd kernel/google/crosshatch
|
|
./build.sh blueline</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>kernel/google/wahoo</code> repository is for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
|
|
and the <code>kernel/google/crosshatch</code> repository is for the Pixel 3 and Pixel
|
|
3 XL.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Setting up the OS build environment</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The build has to be done from bash as envsetup.sh is not compatible with other
|
|
shells like zsh.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Set up the build environment:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>source script/envsetup.sh</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Select the desired build target (<code>aosp_crosshatch</code> is the Pixel 3 XL):
|
|
|
|
<pre>choosecombo release aosp_crosshatch user</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>For a development build, you may want to replace <code>user</code> with
|
|
<code>userdebug</code> in order to have better debugging support. Production builds
|
|
should be <code>user</code> builds as they are significantly more secure and don't
|
|
make additional performance sacrifices to improve debugging.</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Reproducible builds</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To reproduce a past build, you need to export <code>BUILD_DATETIME</code> and
|
|
<code>BUILD_NUMBER</code> to the values set for the past build. These can be obtained
|
|
from <code>out/build_date.txt</code> and <code>out/build_number.txt</code> in a build
|
|
output directory and the <code>ro.build.date.utc</code> and
|
|
<code>ro.build.version.incremental</code> properties which are also included in the
|
|
over-the-air zip metadata rather than just the OS itself.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The signing process for release builds is done after completing builds and replaces
|
|
the dm-verity trees, apk signatures, etc. and can only be reproduced with access to
|
|
the same private keys. If you want to compare to production builds signed with
|
|
different keys you need to stick to comparing everything other than the
|
|
signatures.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Extracting vendor files for Pixel devices</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This section does not apply to devices where no extra vendor files are required (HiKey, HiKey 960, emulator, generic targets).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Extract the vendor files corresponding to the matching release:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>vendor/android-prepare-vendor/execute-all.sh -d DEVICE -b BUILD_ID -o vendor/android-prepare-vendor
|
|
mkdir -p vendor/google_devices
|
|
rm -rf vendor/google_devices/DEVICE
|
|
mv vendor/android-prepare-vendor/DEVICE/BUILD_ID/vendor/google_devices/* vendor/google_devices/</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that android-prepare-vendor is non-deterministic unless a timestamp parameter is
|
|
passed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Building</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Incremental builds (i.e. starting from the old build) usually work for development
|
|
and are the normal way to develop changes. However, there are cases where changes are
|
|
not properly picked up by the build system. For production builds, you should remove
|
|
the remnants of any past builds before starting, particularly if there were
|
|
non-trivial changes:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>rm -r out</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Start the build process, with -j# used to set the number of parallel jobs to the
|
|
number of CPU threads. You also need 2-4GiB of memory per job, so reduce it based on
|
|
available memory if necessary:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>make target-files-package -j20</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Faster builds for development use only</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The normal production build process involves building a target files package to be
|
|
resigned with secure release keys and then converted into factory images and/or an
|
|
update zip via the sections below. If you have a dedicated development device with no
|
|
security requirements, you can save time by using the default make target, leaving the
|
|
bootloader unlocked and flashing the raw images that are signed with the default
|
|
public test keys:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>make -j20</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Technically, you could generate test key signed update packages. However, there's
|
|
no point of sideloading update packages when the bootloader is unlocked and there's no
|
|
value in a locked bootloader without signing the build using release keys, since
|
|
verified boot will be meaningless and the keys used to verify sideloaded updates are
|
|
also public. The only reason to use update packages or a locked bootloader without
|
|
signing the build with release keys would be testing that functionality and it makes a
|
|
lot more sense to test it with proper signing keys rather than the default public test
|
|
keys.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Generating release signing keys</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Keys need to be generated for resigning completed builds from the publicly
|
|
available test keys. The keys must then be reused for subsequent builds and cannot be
|
|
changed without flashing the generated factory images again which will perform a
|
|
factory reset. Note that the keys are used for a lot more than simply verifying
|
|
updates and verified boot.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The keys should not be given passwords due to limitations in the upstream scripts.
|
|
If you want to secure them at rest, you should take a different approach where they
|
|
can still be available to the signing scripts as a directory of unencrypted keys. The
|
|
sample certificate subject can be replaced with your own information or simply left
|
|
as-is.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To generate keys for crosshatch (you should use unique keys per device
|
|
variant):</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>mkdir -p keys/crosshatch
|
|
cd keys/crosshatch
|
|
../../development/tools/make_key releasekey '/CN=GrapheneOS/'
|
|
../../development/tools/make_key platform '/CN=GrapheneOS/'
|
|
../../development/tools/make_key shared '/CN=GrapheneOS/'
|
|
../../development/tools/make_key media '/CN=GrapheneOS/'
|
|
openssl genrsa -out avb.pem 2048
|
|
../../external/avb/avbtool extract_public_key --key avb.pem --output avb_pkmd.bin
|
|
cd ../..</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>avb_pkmd.bin</code> file isn't needed for generating a signed release but
|
|
rather to set the public key used by the device to enforce verified boot.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Generating signed factory images and full update packages</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Generate a signed release build with the release.sh script:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>script/release.sh crosshatch</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The factory images and update package will be in
|
|
<code>out/release-crosshatch-$BUILD_NUMBER</code>. The update zip performs a full OS
|
|
installation so it can be used to update from any previous version. More efficient
|
|
incremental updates are used for official over-the-air GrapheneOS updates and can be
|
|
generated by keeping around past signed <code>target_files</code> zips and generating
|
|
incremental updates from those to the most recent signed <code>target_files</code>
|
|
zip.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Prebuilt code</h2>
|
|
|
|
Like the Android Open Source Project, GrapheneOS contains some code that's built
|
|
separately and then bundled into the source tree as binaries. This section will be
|
|
gradually expanded to cover building all of it.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Prebuilt apps</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Auditor app is simply built from the latest upstream tag and bundled as an apk into
|
|
external/ repositories. There are no modifications to it for GrapheneOS.</p>
