AOSP Part XIV — Device Support

How AOSP supports different CPU architectures, the emulator stack, enterprise device policy, and the form-factor-specific stacks (Auto, TV, Wear, Print).

Chapters in this Part

• 59-architecture-support.md — ARM (32/64), x86_64, RISC-V port, ABI matrix, per-arch toolchain and runtime considerations
