AOSP Developers Birds of a Feather
summary
A meetup for embedded Android developers focuses on concrete fixes: a community-curated registry of long‑supported dev boards (the devs for Android idea), moving reusable components into the external folder so they follow upstream projects, and practical bring‑up hacks like booting a minimal ramdisk to validate kernel and init quickly. Notes cover trunk‑based development, the NDA barrier for upstream patches, subscribing to system_core and cuttlefish for changelogs, and the pain of 20‑hour full AOSP builds.
