How to include additional utilities

AOSP and Raspberry Vanilla provide several command line utilities that can be useful for development purposes. These are not included in the build by default.

  1. Add manifest fragment:
curl -o .repo/local_manifests/manifest_utilities.xml -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raspberry-vanilla/android_local_manifest/android-16.0/manifest_utilities.xml
  1. Sync source code:
repo sync

Edit device/brcm/rpi5/device.mk and add following lines to include the utilities.
