Android Kernel Actions

Shell check

Builds Android kernel from the kernel repository.

Action Vars

Inputs

Input Description
arch Specify what Architecture target to use, currently only supports arm64
compiler Specify which toochain to use
defconfig Specify what defconfig command used to generate .config file
image Specify what is the final build file, usually it's Image.gz-dtb or Image-dtb

Environment Variables

Variable Description
NAME Specify the name of the release file, defaults to the name of the repository
KERNEL_PATH Specify the path of the kernel source, defaults to .
ZIPPER_PATH Specify the path of the zip template, defaults to zipper

Outputs

Output Description
elapsed_time Time elapsed from building the kernel in seconds, excluding zipping and downloading toolchains
outfile Path to the final build file
hash Kernel commit hash

AnyKernel3

Put the AnyKernel3 template to zipper. Providing AnyKernel3 template is optional, the outfile output varies based on this. If AnyKernel3 template is provided, this Action will create a flashable zip file based on the AnyKernel3 template and the outfile output will be the path to the zipfile. if not the outfile will be the path to the kernel image. See the examples.

Getting the build

Use other action to actually get the file, for example, with ncipollo/release-action:

- name: Release build
  uses: ncipollo/release-action@v1
  with:
    artifacts: ${{ steps.<step id>.outputs.outfile }}
    token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Or with appleboy/telegram-action:

- name: Release build
  uses: appleboy/telegram-action@master
  with:
    to: ${{ secrets.CHANNEL_ID }}
    token: ${{ secrets.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN }}
    message: ${{ github.repository }} on ${{ github.sha }} is built!
    document: ${{ steps.<step id>.outputs.outfile }}

Available toolchains

If you want to compile with Clang and LLVM without any of GNU's binutils, make sure your kernel source already supports LLVM options, otherwise compilation may fails. In that case, use clang toolchain with /binutils.

ARM64

Ubuntu's GCC

  • gcc/7
  • gcc/8
  • gcc/9
  • gcc/10

Ubuntu's Clang

  • clang/6.0, clang/6.0/binutils
  • clang/7, clang/7/binutils
  • clang/8, clang/8/binutils
  • clang/9, clang/9/binutils
  • clang/10, clang/10/binutils
  • clang/11, clang/11/binutils
  • proton-clang/<branch, commit hash or tag>, proton-clang/<branch, commit hash or tag>/binutils

Example : proton-clang/master, proton-clang/09fb113/binutils

  • aosp-clang/<branch>/<clang version>, aosp-clang/<branch>/<clang version>/binutils

Example : aosp-clang/master/clang-r416183b, aosp-clang/android11-release/clang-r365631c/binutils
