Hello to all. I hope someone can help me.
Background: I am a relatively experienced programmer. I have been programming with C/C++ (and other) in Linux for the last 6 years or so. However I have never dived in Linux Kernel development yet. So I would appreciate some help from anyone that can help me.
Goal: My goal is to learn more about Linux Kernel development. I want to start from my beloved G2, which is approaching its usage EOL. The device is fine, but I am planning on investing on a new one, so I will be able to squeeze it as much as I want.
I want to create a clean kernel for AOSP (CAF) based versions of Android. My vision is to start with a clean CAF base (without CM patches, etc) and bring it up-to-date till Linux 3.4.113 and manage it to boot. Then start backporting code, enhancements, etc. and making tests.
I searched in CAF repositories and I found them to be a mess. Can someone who is experienced with how things work point to the latest clean CAF source for msm8974?
I also want to hear anyone's thoughts on the attempt. Thanks ahead and regards.
