==== Application launching with GPIO trigger on Android ====

<WRAP center round important>
** You must install the Android release V2.9(C2)/V4.5(XU4) or higher to launch app via GPIO. ** \\
** In that case you can skip step 1 ~ 7 for your easier life LOL** \\

** If you installed higher version of the Android Marshmallow version v2.9, Please do just step 3 and 4, and skip to 7 ** \\
** Please check the revision of PCB. This page is based on the board revision 0.2.(C2) **
</WRAP>

This page explains how to launch an app via GPIO input. \\ All of software stuff(Step 1 to 7) was included from Android image Ver2.9 to Ver3.4 and Marshmallow Ver2.4 released.\\
\\
**1. Enable the GPIO key driver as a built-in.**\\
<code>
...
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_GPIO_POLLED=y
...
</code>

**2. Add gpio key mapping to device tree blob.** \\

 };

**3. Enable GPIO Key map.** \\
<code>
gpio_keys_polled {
   status = "okay";
   .
   .
};
</code>

**4. Build the kernel source. and flash the kernel image to the board.(C2)** \\
<code>
$ cd kernel
$ export ARCH=arm64
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
$ make odroidc2_i2c_defconfig  #(or make odroidc2_defconfig)
$ make -j8
$ adb reboot fastboot
$ fastboot flash dtb arch/arm64/boot/dts/meson64_odroidc2.dtb
$ fastboot flash boot arch/arm64/boot/uImage
$ fastboot reboot
</code>

**5. Add key event keycode to system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl file.** \\ You can find keycode table from [[http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/howlinuxworks/linux_hlkeycodes.html|reference]] \\

\\
<code>
...
key 65 F7
key 66 F8
key 67 F9
key 68 F10
...
</code>

**6. Apply the patch that intercept key event to frameworks/base & ODROID Utility App.** \\

**7. Build the Android image and flash it.** \\
[[en:c2_building_android#build|ODROID-C2 build method]]
[[en:xu3_building_android#installation|ODROID-XU3/4 install method]]
<code>
$ cd <PATH_TO_ANDROID_ROOT>
$ cd out/target/product/odroidc2/
$ adb reboot fastboot
$ fastboot flash system rootsystem.img
$ fastboot reboot
</code>
\\
\\
**8. Connect a few buttons to the GPIOs with 10KOhm pull-up resistors. ** **Click images to enlarge it.** \\
