summary

DDK v2 claims to let a developer drop into an empty directory and, using hermetic toolchain and Kbuild under the hood, produce a flashable kernel module built against prebuilt signed GKI images in minutes; it generates the Makefile/boilerplate, uses basil to orchestrate dependency resolution and caches shared compilers as shadow trees, and can build a module against multiple GKI versions (example Android 15.61 → 15.66) so upgrades and upstreaming require minimal source changes.
