There's some hiccups with CoreAudio not initializing on the M1 Mac, but disabling audio ( -noaudio) gets around this.Īs far as I can tell nothing is wrong from using -debug-init and -verbose emulator flags.

I have also tried various GPU options when launching the emulator in case of graphical rendering issues. I was able to patch the build in necessary places to build to completion - this is all in build/soong so it's not the actual AOSP code needing a change. ADB show the emulator as offline once launched so it doesn't seem to be specific to a graphical issue more likely a boot.īuilding AOSP is not a problem, except when it comes to the M1 and needing the 11.x MacOSSDK. I mainly use a M1 mac (aarm64), but have also tried on an Intel (x86_64), tried multiple image builds on each, but same result - black screen on boot. Any insights/gotchas would be super helpful. I'm newer to AOSP building, but now have successfully built various AOSP build configurations, but never been able to boot a built image.
