Building Lineage OS: Device manifest and framework compatibility matrix are incompatible

Question

I am trying to build Lineage OS for the A52 4G, I'm at the building step, and then the compiler exits because Device manifest and framework compatibility matrix are incompatible.

• Kernel
• Device tree
• Second one which is required by the first one
• Vendor files

I tried reading the Android docs about matching rules and device manifest but I didn't really understand how to fix the error, I also tried recompiling and of course it didn't work.

How can I fix this? The full error log:

Answer 1

Caveat I just started working in this area recently...

Project treble dictates that the vendor (aka device) and system (aka framework) agree on the HALs required.

The crux of the problem appears to be that IPower HAL is required by the framework but not provided by the device.

android.hardware.power:
    required: IPower/default (@1-2)
    provided:

It appears your vendor and system are both compatibility level 5 which is fine but the compatibility_matrix.5.xml file contains the following section:

<hal format="aidl" optional="false">
    <name>android.hardware.power</name>
    <interface>
        <name>IPower</name>
        <instance>default</instance>
    </interface>
</hal>

I'm not clear on why it decided that version 1 through 2 is required, my copy of compatibility_matrix.5.xml doesn't have a version specified as shown above which means per https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/vintf/comp-matrices that it defaults to 1.

Since the android.hardware.power::IPower HAL is not optional your vendor manifest needs to declare it and your vendor implementation needs to have it.

Oddly though Google appears to have changed these files recently to make everything optional in compatibility_matrix.5.xml, see:

https://cs.android.com/android/_/android/platform/hardware/interfaces/+/79ed41b0e6a8646c894904942f0c4af32bfac8dc

So one possibility is to the modify the hardware/interfaces/compatibility_matrices/compatibility_matrix.5.xml file and make it optional="true" and see if the system runs anyway.

Answer 2

device manifest file must have at least target-level=6 API to match the framework compatibility:

./LINUX/android/device/samsung/a52q/manifest.xml:28:

<manifest version="1.0" type="device" target-level="6">
