Understand the impact of Generic System Images (GSI)
summary
GSI is the stock Android framework built from AOSP with no OEM or carrier changes and it becomes the enforcement artifact for Treble by requiring devices to boot and pass CTS and VTS tests with the vendor partition unchanged. Google publishes Pie GSI in AOSP so anyone can build it, seven non‑Google phones join beta this year (7 device makers), and there is a working prototype that runs GSI without flashing as well as demo devices all running the same Pie GSI.
