Intel for Android * Jelly Bean 4.3 & #174; lingdong™X86 image Installation Guide

Introduction

This Guide provides guidance on installing the Intel Atom x86 image for Android * Jelly Bean. This image can be used for development on intel x86 architecture.

Prerequisites

Android SDK must be installed for the Android x86 simulator image. For instructions on installing and configuring the Android SDK, visit the Android developer website (http://developer.android.com/sdk ).

Optional: Intel hardware accelerator execution Manager (HAXM) helps speed up the X86 simulator image for Android. For more information, see the "optimization" section in this Guide.

Known issues:

• Caffeinemark may be faulty. logcat may display faults at ashmem/libdvm.
• The video clips played in the browser only contain audio and no video. This problem only exists in the browser and does not occur during full screen playback.
• The screen capture function fails when ddms, uiautomatorviewer, or monkeylmage is used.
• Snapshot function failure
• Factory settings failed to be restored
• If you do not set the front and back cameras, the camera application will fail from the very beginning.
• 3G connection will be lost during the call

Install and download files manually (applicable to Windows and Mac OSX)

(Android * 4.3 (Jelly Bean) x86 simulator system image ).

Windows

The following instructions and the screen are applicable to "just for me" windows installation, but the file needs to be decompressed to the relative path consistent with the Android installation path.

The system-images directory contains the Android system images by architecture: if the "system-images" directory or "android-18" directory does not exist, you need to create this directory.

Expand android-18 (this directory contains the API Level 18 system image ):

Decompress the x86 directory in the downloaded system image file to the android-18 directory. The "./Android-SDK/system-images/android-18/x86/" Directory should contain the following files:

The system image is successfully installed and ready for use.

Mac OSX

1. Go to the directory you used to decompress the SDK
   
2. The system-images directory contains the Android system images by architecture: if the "system-images" directory or "android-18" directory does not exist, you need to create this directory.
   
3. Expand android-18 (this directory contains the API Level 18 system image ):
   
4. Decompress the x86 directory in the downloaded system image file to the android-18 directory. The "./android-sdk-macosx/system-images/android-18/x86/" Directory should contain the following files:
   
5. The system image is successfully installed and ready for use.

Optimize CPU acceleration using System Images

By using Intel VT-x technology-based hardware virtualization, the performance of Intel Atom x86 images for Android Jelly Bean will be significantly improved.

If your computer uses an Intel processor that supports VT-x technology, we recommend that you use the Intel hardware accelerator execution Manager (HAXM) when using this system image ). For more information about intel HAXM, visit http://www.intel.com/software/android.

Note: Intel HAXM is only applicable to Windows and OS X operating systems. For Linux Hosts, you can use kernel-based virtual machines (KVM) to improve the simulation performance. For more information about installing and configuring KVM on Ubuntu, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation
