Working with custom Android devices
summary
Covers the exact kit and steps used to get custom Android hardware from lab to boot: order developer boards early (delivery can be three months), expect devices with 1 GB RAM and slow CPUs, buy a bench power supply and a GL.iNet Wi‑Fi bridge for ADB over Wi‑Fi, and budget ~€150 for a CAN adapter. Shows building AOSP with repo mirroring and repo sync -c -j8, using userdebug keys for system signing, and explains overlays and product makefiles so the device actually works.
