| Introduction |
| ############ |
| |
| There are many dev-boards available in the market, and a great number of |
| interested folks that would like to have Android Open Source Project (AOSP) |
| running on these devices, for various reasons. |
| |
| The **dev-boards for Android** community initiative is to enable a collaborative |
| space for developers desirous of keeping AOSP running with relevant kernels. |
| The dev-boards can then be used for new feature development for Android, |
| testing and validating them with Android tests like CTS and VTS. |
| They can also be instrumental in sharing and co-developing features like |
| HALs across multiple devices. |
| |
| We would aim for the dev-boards to boot to UI with AOSP, be testable and usable |
| as development platforms. |
| |
| It would be great to have device-owner(s) for each device that is enabled in |
| this collaboration. |
| |
| In the future, we would like to enable as many dev-boards as possible with CI |
| via LAVA, which can be then used to track board status and quality on a rolling |
| basis. |
| |
| Goals |
| ***** |
| - Be an umbrella project for collaboration on dev-boards for Android. |
| - Help foster a healthy community around AOSP. |
| - Provide a space for feature-sharing across devices. |
| - Enable CI testing via LAVA, increasing level of confidence in these devices. |
| |
| Software Components |
| ******************* |
| For each supported device, links are made available to the kernel source, local |
| manifests, device specific files and binaries (like bootloader, firmware, HALs) |
| and documentation. |
