Separate cvd start from CvdCommandHandler

When it comes cvd selector, cvd start behaviors differently than
other operations. Cvd selector sets the instance/group while
others look up. Cvd selector may fill out the instance/group
record incompletely while others should fill when needed. It
may make sense to separate cvd start from others. This commit
does not change the implementation based on the cvd selector,
yet. It just separated cvd start as a stand-alone class.

Cuttlefish Getting Started

Try Cuttlefish

  1. Make sure virtualization with KVM is available.

    grep -c -w "vmx\|svm" /proc/cpuinfo

    This should return a non-zero value. If running on a cloud machine, this may take cloud-vendor-specific steps to enable. For Google Compute Engine specifically, see the GCE guide.

ARM specific steps:

  • When running on an ARM machine, the most direct way is to check for the existence of /dev/kvm. Note that this method can also be used to confirm support of KVM on any environment.
  • Before proceeding to the next step, please first follow the guide to adjust APT sources.

  1. Download, build, and install the host debian packages:

    sudo apt install -y git devscripts config-package-dev debhelper-compat golang curl
git clone https://github.com/google/android-cuttlefish
cd android-cuttlefish
for dir in base frontend; do
  cd $dir
  debuild -i -us -uc -b -d
  cd ..
done
sudo dpkg -i ./cuttlefish-base_*_*64.deb || sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg -i ./cuttlefish-user_*_*64.deb || sudo apt-get install -f
sudo usermod -aG kvm,cvdnetwork,render $USER
sudo reboot

    The reboot will trigger installing additional kernel modules and applying udev rules.

  2. Go to http://ci.android.com/

  3. Enter a branch name. Start with aosp-master if you don‘t know what you’re looking for

  4. Navigate to aosp_cf_x86_64_phone and click on userdebug for the latest build

For ARM, use branch aosp-master-throttled-copped and device target aosp_cf_arm64_only_phone-userdebug

  1. Click on Artifacts

  2. Scroll down to the OTA images. These packages look like aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-img-xxxxxx.zip -- it will always have img in the name. Download this file

  3. Scroll down to cvd-host_package.tar.gz. You should always download a host package from the same build as your images.

  4. On your local system, combine the packages:

    mkdir cf
cd cf
tar xvf /path/to/cvd-host_package.tar.gz
unzip /path/to/aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-img-xxxxxx.zip

  5. Launch cuttlefish with:

$ HOME=$PWD ./bin/launch_cvd

Debug Cuttlefish

You can use adb to debug it, just like a physical device:

$ ./bin/adb -e shell

Launch Viewer (WebRTC)

When launching with ---start_webrtc (the default), you can see a list of all available devices at https://localhost:8443 . For more information, see the WebRTC on Cuttlefish documentation.

Stop Cuttlefish

You will need to stop the virtual device within the same directory as you used to launch the device.

`$ HOME=$PWD ./bin/stop_cvd`
