# Configuration Through Command Line Parameters

Bliss OS (and the Bass builds) utilizes an expanded configuration layer, our Broad Apparatus Support System (Bass for short) allows one generic .iso to be configured through kernel command line parameters on a per-device basis. This allows end users to fine tune the performance of the OS to the capabilities of the device.

# Intro to Kernel Command Line Parameters

We use Grub, Refind, or other Linux bootloaders to boot the device once installed. The menu entry is how we also pass many of our parameters for configuring the device as well. Here is an example of a typical menu entry for Grub for Bliss OS 15.8.x:

menuentry 'Android-x86' --class android-x86 {

   search --file --no-floppy --set=root /AndroidOS/android.boot

   linux /AndroidOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 SRC=/AndroidOS fbcon=rotate:1 mem_sleep_default=shallow acpi_sleep=s3_mode HWC=drm_minigbm_celadon GRALLOC=minigbm androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA=

   initrd /AndroidOS/initrd.img

}

The line we are targeting for our configuration is the one that starts with “linux /AndroidOS/kernel”. Here are some of the explanations for the configs we support.

If your Grub menu entry looks a little different, and has some of the commands at the top, you can also edit there to add your configuration preferences.

setparams 'Android-x86 Intel' 'fbcon=rotate:1' 'mem_sleep_default=shallow' 'acpi_sleep=s3_mode' 'HWC=drm_minigbm_celadon' 'GRALLOC=minigbm' 'quiet'
   savedefault
   set root=$android
   ....

# Supported Parameters:

Warning: Note that not all of the configs listed here are available in the open-source Bliss OS source, but are available through licensing the Android-Generic Project add-on for that feature, or licensing the use of our Bass builds or Bass source (which comes with most available AG add-on's) for your organization

Here are a few of the supported parameters that we support, organized by stack.

# Debugging:

This will enable logging or low level debugging console before the system starts to boot Android.

This is a root console, and can be used for testing or troubleshooting. Pressing exit, twice will continue with the Android boot process.

Command:

DEBUG=*

Options:

  • 1: high-level debugging console (logs to /tmp/log)

  • 2: low-level debugging console (logs to /data/log.txt & /tmp/log)

You will also need to enable the console if you wish to use alt-f1/f7 virtual consoles:

androidboot.enable_console=1

Example:

DEBUG=2

# Graphics Stack:

This includes a number pf parameters that we can use to customize the stack to our hardware's capabilities.

# Hardware Composer:

This allows us to include multiple hardware-composer options, and select the ones we want to target per-device.

By default, if you set HWC without anything like HWC="", Bliss will use drmfb-composer

Command:

HWC=*

Options:

Example:

HWC=drm_minigbm_celadon
# Using DRMFB HWC backend:
  • HWC_IS_DRMFB: Forces the compositor to use DRMFB (Options: 1,0)
# Setting HWC mode info:

(Compatible only with drm_celadon and drm_minigbm_celadon hwcomposer)

  • MULTI_PLANE: Enabled hwcomposer planes (Options 1,0)
  • MULTI_PLANE_NUM: Specifies the number of planes
  • HWC_PREFER_MODE: Specifies the devices preferred mode setting
  • CONNECTOR_ID: Specifies the devices connector ID
  • MODE_ID: Specifies the devices mode ID
  • MULTI_REFRESH_RATE: Enables variable refresh rate (Options: 1,0)

# Gralloc:

We pair up our Gralloc options to work with certain HWC options.

Command:

GRALLOC=*

Options:

  • gbm: This is gbm_gralloc and it's compatible with drm & drm_celadon

  • gbm_hack: This is gbm_gralloc but with a HACK commit to fix some issue with iris or nouveau. It's compatible with drm & drm_celadon

  • minigbm: This is minigbm and it's compatible with drm_minigbm, drm_minigbm_celadon

  • minigbm_arcvm: This is minigbm but made specifically for virgl by Google, compatible with drm_minigbm, drm_minigbm_celadon

  • minigbm_gbm_mesa: This is minigbm made by rsglobal which he tried to port gbm_gralloc philosophy to minigbm. Compatible with drm_minigbm, drm_minigbm_celadon

Example:

GRALLOC=minigbm_gbm_mesa
# Gralloc4 Configurations:

In some cases, we are working with hardware that requires Gralloc4 specs. We can force minigbm to use Gralloc4 by using:

  • GRALLOC4_MINIGBM: Force using gralloc4 with minigbm (only compatible with drm_minigbm_celadon)

# ANGLE & software rendering:

  • ANGLE is available in BlissOS 14.10 and above, if you have a device that can use Vulkan, you can try ANGLE with Vulkan backend using ANGLE=1.

  • Alternatively, you can also use SwiftShader Vulkan with ANGLE as a software rendering solution if you are running it inside something like a virtual machine by setting nomodeset ANGLE=1 or HWACCEL=0 ANGLE=1

  • There's one more option for software rendering, which is the legacy SwiftShader EGL, simply set nomodeset or HWACCEL=0 to use it.

  • For some virtualized methods uses, you may have a blinking cursor artifact that shows on screen. To remove this artifact, include the following boot flag: vt.global_cursor_default=0

NOTE : You may want to turn on Color Inversion when using software rendering because the color might be inverted

# GLES Overrides:

We can override the target GLES implimentation within the OS by setting the FORCE_GLES boot flag.

  • FORCE_GLES: Override GLES version from Mesa (Options: 3.0 [default], 3.1, 3.2)

# RenderEngine Overrides:

We can override the default RenderEngine backend (threaded) in Android by using the following command:

  • FORCE_RENDERENGINE: (Options: threaded, skiaglthreaded)

# GPU Override:

This allows us to target a specific DGPU on the device:

  • GPU_OVERRIDE: (Options: whatever your devices target /dev/dri/* is)

# Video Resolution:

We use the Linux video and fbcon commands for this functionality, and it is compatible with the gbm gralloc/hwc backend. Setting the video kernel cmdline flag will also set Android's drm_mode and UVESA_MODE. See https://docs.kernel.org/fb/modedb.html for video mode support See https://docs.kernel.org/fb/fbcon.html for more info on fbcon

# Media Stack:

# Bluetooth:

There are a couple of customizations available for the Bluetooth stack in our builds.

  • BTUART_PORT: Specifies the known bluetooth UART port
  • BTLINUX_HAL: Force use of the legacy btlinux HAL for bluetooth (required for legacy devices)

# Audio HAL:

By default, we include a couple audio HAL's to choose from for the OS.

  • AUDIO_PRIMARY: This will use the specified HAL (Options: x86[default] & x86_celadon)

# Video Encoders/Decoders:

By default, BlissOS will use AOSP's codec2 software decoder. We also offer a few various options that allow you to select different video decoders stack options:

  • CODEC2_LEVEL: This will set the C2 level (default value is 4, you can disable codeec2 completely with '0').
  • FFMPEG_OMX_CODEC: This will enable OMX version of FFMPEG codecs (disable codec2 with CODEC2_LEVEL=0 to use this codecs).
  • FFMPEG_CODEC2_PREFER: This will force Bliss to use codec2 version of FFMPEG codecs by default.
  • FFMPEG_HWACCEL_DISABLE: This will disable hardware accelleration for the FFMPEG codecs.
  • FFMPEG_CODEC_LOG: This will show more log of FFMPEG codecs, enable if you want to debug it
  • FFMPEG_CODEC2_DEINTERLACE & FFMPEG_CODEC2_DEINTERLACE_VAAPI: configuring deinterlacing option for FFMPEG codec2, you can find the options in this commit made by Micheal Goffioul
  • OMX_NO_YUV420: This will force the system to not use YUV420 color format on OMX codec (fixes some black or glitchy screens, use it with CODEC2_LEVEL=0)
  • FFMPEG_CODEC2_DRM: turn on/off DRM prime handle on ffmpeg codecs, 0 is the default because not any Gralloc supporting it.

# Networking:

We include the ability to have Ethernet appear as WiFi as some appli/cations will not work without a WiFi or Cell connection present. In order to enable this mode, we use the VIRT_WIFI boot flag: VIRT_WIFI=1

# Disk Access:

(Available on Bliss OS 14.1x, 15.8.x, & 16.x) For use cases where you are dual booting or sharing system resources with multiple drives, you might want to enable automatic mounting of all disks within Android: INTERNAL_MOUNT=1: Allows device to mount other internal drives on boot.

# LMKD:

(Available through Android-Generic Add-On & add-ons for Bass builds)

  • FORCE_LOW_MEM: Forces the low_mem mode in Android to the specific true/false value
    Default = false (unless device is detected to have less than 2GB RAM)

  • FORCE_MINFREE_LEVELS: Use free memory and file cache thresholds for making decisions when to kill. This mode works the same way kernel lowmemorykiller driver used to work. AOSP Default = false, Our default = true

Other options available for specialized builds:

  • FORCE_LMK_ENABLE: Force enable LMK Daemon
    Default = false (unless device is detected to have less than 2GB RAM)

  • FORCE_KILL_HEAVIEST_TASK: Kill heaviest eligible task (best decision) vs. any eligible task (fast decision).
    Default = false

  • FORCE_SWAP_FREE_LOW_PERCENTAGE: Level of free swap as a percentage of the total swap space used as a threshold to consider the system as swap space starved.

    Default for low-RAM devices = 10, for high-end devices = 20

  • FORCE_THRASHING_LIMIT: Number of working set defaults as a percentage of the file-backed pagecache size used as a threshold to consider system thrashing its pagecache.

    Default for low-RAM devices = 30, for high-end devices = 100

  • FORCE_LMK_CRITICAL: The possible values of oom_adj range from -17 to +15 (Default=0).

    The higher the score, more likely the associated process is to be killed by OOM-killer. If oom_adj is set to -17, the process is not considered for OOM-killing.

  • FORCE_PSI_PARTIAL_STALL_THRESHOLD: The partial PSI stall threshold, in milliseconds, for triggering low memory notification. If the device receives memory pressure notifications too late, decrease this value to trigger earlier notifications. If memory pressure notifications trigger unnecessarily, increase this value to make the device less sensitive to noise.

    High end: 70  Low end: 200

  • FORCE_PSI_COMPLETE_STALL_THRESHOLD: The complete PSI stall threshold, in milliseconds, for triggering critical memory notifications. If the device receives critical memory pressure notifications too late, decrease this value to trigger earlier notifications. If critical memory pressure notifications trigger unnecessarily, increase this value to make the device less sensitive to noise.

    Recommended: 700

  • FORCE_THRASHING_LIMIT_DECAY: The thrashing threshold decay expressed as a percentage of the original threshold used to lower the threshold when the system doesn’t recover, even after a kill. If continuous thrashing produces unnecessary kills, decrease the value. If the response to continuous thrashing after a kill is too slow, increase the value.

    High end: 10  Low end: 50

  • FORCE_SWAP_UTIL_MAX: The max amount of swapped memory as a percentage of the total swappable memory. When swapped memory grows over this limit, it means that the system swapped most of its swappable memory and is still under pressure. This can happen when non-swappable allocations are generating memory pressure which can not be relieved by swapping because most of the swappable memory is already swapped out. The default value is 100, which effectively disables this check. If the performance of the device is affected during memory pressure while swap utilization is high and the free swap level is not dropping to Sets the swap_free_low_percentage, decrease the value to limit swap utilization.

    High end: 100  Low end: 100
