Error while running cts-tradefed [for an android set top box]

Question

For google certification , we need to run Compatibility test suite on the android device(stb) . I have done the setup for CTS on a Linux machine. I am getting below error while running cts-tradefed on the machine.

./android-cts/tools/cts-tradefed

Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4g

The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Can anyone give the solution for it?

Answer 1

Just open android-cts-[X.X]_[rX]-linux_x86-arm/android-cts/tools/cts-tradefed from any text editor and change line number 131 $RDBG_FLAG -Xmx4g with any memory size which is less than your RAM size e.g. Xmx3g

Also check if you are using Linux 64Bit version. This issue might occur if you are using 32Bit(which is not supported)
