Hi,
Altough this is just the skeleton of it, let me share what I've set up until now.
I've also started a dedicated Google group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!members/renesas-emev-osp
Anyone interested in contributing to develpment, plesae join!
1) Android
https://github.com/ffxx68/Renesas-device_emev
This is the entry-point to the GitHub repositories where I would put all the modification to the AOSP code which are specific to the Renesas EMEV for our Open Source Project.
Have a look at the README for further details and follow the progress, or open discussions, on our Google group.
2) Kernel
https://github.com/ffxx68/RenesasEV2-BSPGB-Kernel
This is the public GitHub repository for the 2.6.35.7 Kernel source code. It is customized to emxx code and it includes for the moment only the LCD patch that is necessary for the most common tablet (the kernel base code is aimed at the development board instead).
Same as above, anyone can contribute directly here.
3) Bootloader
https://github.com/ffxx68/RenesasEV2-bootloader
This is the public GitHub repository for the bootloader source code. It includes a patch for the 4 DDR tablet models.
I don't expect this to be changed much, but anyone can contribute directly pushing new files over here too.
4) Packaging
Some more details about how to wrap-up a fresh build and make a firmware for the tablet are found in the README mentieod above.
I've managed to boot Android from an SD card (see here: https://github.com/ffxx68/Renesas-BootSD) and I think a similar approach should be followed, at least for initial testing.
Kind of late to the party, but I'm really interested in this project... I applied to the Google Group, but I notice that the EV2 AOSP page you listed is gone... is there a specific reason for this? I would really love to contribute to this.
Hi, and welcome aboard!
I have edited a couple links above, which have changed a bit since then.
Thanks
I'm facing a problem with the touchscreen driver, which I have filed in the group list as well:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/renesas-emev-osp/smcwddwvNDo
(answer over there, if possible).
I can't understand why the driver for the touchscreen (found in drivers/input/touchscreen/pixcir_i2c_ts.c) is not loaded during the kernel init stages.
The touchkeys driver (ekt2201) is very similar in code structure and it's loaded as expected, while the _probe function of the PixCir is never called. This is the fragment from the dmesg kernel log:
...
<4>ekt2201_init
<4>ekt2201_i2c_ts_probe
<6>input: ekt2201 as /devices/i2c-0/0-0010/input/input0
<4>ekt2201:i2c_add_driver 0
<4>emxx_tsixcir_i2c_init
<4>emxx_tsixcir:i2c_add_driver 0
...
Note as the input device is created for the ekt2201 as the _probe is called, while the same doesn't happen for the pixcir.
Anyone with a clue?
thanks
Hi,
if anyone's interested in testing an experimental, pre-alpha version of the Open Source GB and Kernel build, leave a message here:

Hey Just wanted to announce a new OS dev, all code will be pushed to Github as free and opensource code (yet to choose a license).
To get off the ground I will be using this: jamesmolloy. co .uk/tutorial_html/1.-Environment%20setup.html It is a great starter to get int OS dev.
Don't start about the tutorial, its to get me off the ground with the development, from there the rest of the information will be derived from osdev.org.
This means that developers are able to build and flash their own version of Android Pie on these devices.

Great stuff
Anyone who is willing to and capable of building custom rom and twrp recovery, should visit open source website of samsung.
Galaxy M40's source files have been released there. I am no developer. So I am unable to help.
Someone please begin the project and keep a donation channel open so that we can help you.
Thanks
Hello, I am very new to everything. My knowledge is basically limited to using Linux. Could someone tell me where I can find the documentation of how to build TWRP and LineageOS for an unknown phone.
Or tell me what the general process is.
I cannot understand anything, when trying to understand I feel like being faced to a wall and not understanding how the hell it works.
Thanks in advance,
Snow

If the source files haven't been released by the OEM, you may be at a dead-end before you begin.
