Volla Phone Plinius (ansuz) - Kernel Manifest

About

This repository contains the kernel manifest for Volla Phone Plinius & Plinius Plus (codename: ansuz), enabling developers to build and customize the Android kernel for this device.

Required Repositories

The following repositories are required for building the Volla Phone Plinius kernel, as defined in ansuz.xml:

Kernel Build System

• android_kernel_build_kernel - Kernel build and scripts

  • Path: build/kernel

• android_kernel_build_bazel_mgk_rules - Bazel build rules for kernel modules

  • Path: build/bazel_mgk_rules

Kernel Sources

• android_kernel_volla_mt6878 - Main kernel source (Linux 6.1)

  • Path: kernel-6.1

• android_kernel_device_modules_volla_mt6878 - Device-specific kernel modules

  • Path: kernel_device_modules-6.1

• android_kernel_modules_volla_mt6878 - MediaTek vendor kernel modules

  • Path: vendor/mediatek/kernel_modules

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You'll need to be familiar with Android Source Control Tools and have the following installed:

• Git
• Repo tool
• Build dependencies for kernel compilation

Initialize Repository

1. Initialize your local repository using the Google kernel manifest:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/manifest.git -b common-android14-6.1

2. Clone this local manifest repository:

git clone git@github.com:HelloVolla/android_kernel_manifest.git -b volla-15.0-ansuz .repo/local_manifests

3. Sync all repositories:

repo sync

Building the Kernel

The Volla Phone Plinius kernel uses Kleaf (Kernel Build System with Bazel) for building.

To build the GKI kernel image and device-specific kernel modules:

kernel_device_modules-6.1/build.sh

Build artifacts will be available in:

out/
