Android Nougat 7.1.1 boot up on Beaglebone Black

Finally got Android Nougat 7.1.1 boot up on my Beaglebone black. I am not sure whether it is a fluke or for real as I have to replicate it again with a rebuild.

I had removed all the different PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES because of one service complaining about another service not being present. One last thing I removed was config.disable_noncore=true. Now I re-enabled the same and built the whole thing up. I will update the results soon.

*Update*: Tried adding config.disable_noncore and it starts crashing. Did a make clean and rebuilt by removing config.disable_noncore and it started working.
 

Also I bought a new set of microSD cards which are class 10 and is much faster than the previous crappy microSD cards. Let me see if they made a difference. 

*Update*: Yes they make a difference. They are faster to write and it is faster for the overall system too.

There is still a crash which I saw in the first boot which is IpManager.eth0 which was plaguing before.  Leaving the system just like that manages to start the system even though there is a single set of kills of audioserver, cameraserver, media, netd but it recovers. This problem I think I will have to try fixing it. Doing a simple cursory search shows a Linaro chat log saying it is some subtle timing bug introduced by the printing but I am not very sure about this.

A 'service list' commands gives the following services:
