A Workflow to build Android Kernel automatically

Note

This workflow is universal. You need to have a certain foundation in writing github workflows and a little knowledge of the Android kernel to use this.

Warning

Strongly recommends using the stable version (such as v1.2) instead of the development version (main), which may have some technical problems.

How to use?

  • First, you need to determine the kernel source code and configuration files.
  • Find your kernel source repository and configure the workflow file according to the following example and README.md:
name: CI

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build-kernel:
    name: Build Kernel
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - name: Build
        uses: dabao1955/kernel_build_action@main
        with:
          kernel-url: https://github.com/AcmeUI-Devices/android_kernel_xiaomi_cas
          branch: taffy
          config: cas_defconfig
          arch: arm64
          aosp-gcc: true
          aosp-clang: true
          python-2.7: true
          android-version: 12
          aosp-clang-version: r383902

Or use the preset workflow file to modify it.

Note

You do not need to fork this repository.

If you just want to compile the kernel, please do not submit PR after modification!

  • Finally, run the workflow you just wrote.
