| 7 | Introduction |
| 8 | ############ |
| 9 | |
| 10 | There are many dev-boards available in the market, and a great number of |
| 11 | interested folks that would like to have Android Open Source Project (AOSP) |
| 12 | running on these devices, for various reasons. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The **dev-boards for Android** community initiative is to enable a collaborative |
| 15 | space for developers desirous of keeping AOSP running with relevant kernels. |
| 16 | The dev-boards can then be used for new feature development for Android, |
| 17 | testing and validating them with Android tests like CTS and VTS. |
| 18 | They can also be instrumental in sharing and co-developing features like |
| 19 | HALs across multiple devices. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | We would aim for the dev-boards to boot to UI with AOSP, be testable and usable |
| 22 | as development platforms. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | It would be great to have device-owner(s) for each device that is enabled in |
| 25 | this collaboration. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | In the future, we would like to enable as many dev-boards as possible with CI |
| 28 | via LAVA, which can be then used to track board status and quality on a rolling |
| 29 | basis. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Goals |
| 32 | ***** |
| 33 | - Be an umbrella project for collaboration on dev-boards for Android. |
| 34 | - Help foster a healthy community around AOSP. |
| 35 | - Provide a space for feature-sharing across devices. |
| 36 | - Enable CI testing via LAVA, increasing level of confidence in these devices. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Software Components |
| 39 | ******************* |
| 40 | For each supported device, links are made available to the kernel source, local |
| 41 | manifests, device specific files and binaries (like bootloader, firmware, HALs) |
| 42 | and documentation. |
