Hi,
I'm just starting to learn about how to compile and tweak a Linux kernel for Android devices. I'm using my old Xoom for testing. I've read a lot of tutorials/guides to build a kernel for Android, also I searched in the git history of the other kernels developed for the xoom (thanks for the developers!!) and I have a question that I can't answer. Maybe some of the kernel developers can answer it. What about the xoom's propietary drivers?
Basically I followed this guide https://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html in order to get a kernel's image. Then I tested it and the Xoom boots and Android loads ok. Nowhere something about proprietary drivers is mentioned (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#wingray). Are these drivers already loaded in the sources you can download from the first link?
The matter with the proprietary drivers is a lack of must guides and I want to know what's going on with drivers when you build the kernel sources for tegra devices.
