We are pleased to announce that the Android Microconference has been accepted into the 2020 Linux Plumbers Conference!<\/p>\n
A few years ago the Android team announced their desire to try to set a path for creating a Generic Kernel Image<\/a> (GKI) which would enable the decoupling of Android kernel releases from hardware enablement. Since then, much work has been done by many parties to make this vision a reality. Last year’s Linux Plumber’s Android microconference<\/a> brought about work on monitoring and stabilizing the Android in-kernel ABI, solutions to issues associated with modules and supplier-consumer dependencies have landed in the upstream Linux kernel, and vendors have started migrating from using the ION driver to the DMA-BUF heaps that are now supported in upstream Linux. For a report on progress made since last year MC see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n This year several devices now work with GKI making their kernel upgradable without requiring porting efforts, but this work exposed several additional issues. Thus the topics for this year’s Android microconference include:<\/p>\n Come and join us in help making the upstream Linux kernel work out of the box on your Android device!<\/p>\n\n
