About

Welcome to the AOSP Developers Community!

This website is a common hub for developers with a shared interest in reducing code duplication in AOSP device HALs. Often we find that a lot of devices contain very similar code, with minimal changes to support device specific features.

We’d like to shift the focus of AOSP HAL development towards writing code which can benefit the whole community, by focusing on upstream Linux APIs and generic interfaces.
