A friend asked me how to install a box system on Raspberry Pi, and in this article, I will teach everyone how to install the Android system and create a set-top box.
For instructions on how to install the system, I have already introduced it in the article on installing the system on Raspberry Pi; please refer to that article if needed. To obtain the tools needed to install the system, just send “tools” to the official account. To get the download link for the system, reply “Android system” to the official account.
-
First, extract the Android TV installation package to obtain a .img disk image file (over 7GB);
-
Open the Win32 software, write the downloaded system to the memory card, select the TF card, choose the system file you downloaded as the image, and click Write. Wait until the progress reaches 100%, and the system installation is complete (Note the drive letter on the right.)
-
Insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi 3, and connect the power to run the Android system. Remember to connect the display using an HDMI cable for easier operation.
4.To enter this interface, you need to use keyboard operations (move up, down, left, right, and press Enter to confirm); the mouse will not work!! You can connect to Wi-Fi and set the system language in the settings.
5.Install APK applications, connect to Raspberry Pi via ADB, and use ADB commands to install applications, first ensure that both the Raspberry Pi and the computer are connected to the same router. Find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi in Settings -> Network, and check the status information of the connected network card.
6.Download and install the Android ADB driver, then enter the command in the command line adb connect your Raspberry Pi IP address:5555, to connect.
7.Once connected successfully, you can use adb to install software. The installation command is: adb install APK installation package address Example: adb install D:\youku.apk
8. After installation, you can find and run it in Settings -> Applications -> Installed Applications.
Thus, the set-top box is ready~~
By the way, I will later bring you the KODI system TV box~~
