Android Kernel Build Action

Powered By GitHub Actions

A Workflow to build Android Kernel automatically

⚠️ Tips

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.

A Simple workflow Usage(not need to fork this repo !):

name: CI

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build-kernel:
    name: Build Kernel
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - 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

Inputs

input	required	description	example value
kernel-url	true	URL of Android kernel source code for your phone	https://github.com/username/project
kernel-dir	false	The directory name of the Android kernel source code. This option may be used for OPLUS Kernel source code.	kernel
depth	false		1
vendor	false	Enable additional source code for the Android kernel source code. This option may be used for OPLUS source code.	false
vendor-url	false		https://github.com/username/project
vendor-dir	false		vendor
branch	true	The branch of the source code that needs to be cloned, defaults branch to git clone is main	main
config	true	Compile the selected configuration file for the Android kernel	defconfig
arch	true	The architecture of your mobile phone SOC is arm64 by default	arm64
android-version	true	Android Version	12
ksu	false	Enable KernelSU	true
ksu-version	false	KernelSU version	v0.6.6
disable-lto	false		false
overlayfs	false	Enable OverlayFS to config	false
lxc	false	Enable LXC and docker to config	false
lxc-patch	false	Add patch avoid not booting after enable lxc	false
kvm	false		false
ccache	false	Enable ccache(Only valid when compiled with clang)	false
aosp-gcc	true	Use aosp-gcc to compile the kernel or assist in compiling the kernel (when aosp-clang is enabled)	false
aosp-clang	false	Compile the kernel using aosp-clang	false
aosp-clang-version	false	please search for them according to your own needs at official website and choose the appropriate clang according to the Android system version instead of blindly choosing r383902	r383902
other-clang	false	use 3rd party clang to compile kernel	true
other-clang-url	false	N:only support git url	https://github.com/crdroidandroid/android_prebuilts_clang_host_linux-x86_clang-6364210
other-clang-branch	false		10.0
android-ndk	false	Use Android-NDK to compile kernel . Before enable this option，you should disable aosp-gcc and aosp-clang bacause android-ndk will conflict with them	false
android-ndk-version	false		r23b
android-ndk-x64	false	If use the ndk version <r23,please enable it.	false
python-27	false	Use python2.7 instead of python3, this is helpful for some kernel compilations	false
anykernel3	false	Package the compiled kernel using anykernel3. If this option is disabled, only the kernel file will be uploaded by default	false
extra-cmd	false	Compile the kernel with extra options, such as LD=ld.lld	AS=llvm-as
