Since the introduction of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for mobile phones by Google, there has been significant interest in the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) community to also customize Android for other embedded platforms such as Industrial control panels, Human machine interface devices, Security system devices, set-top boxes, car dashboards and others. The advantage of making Android available to multiple device platforms would mean that an application developed for one device could easily be made available for another platform with minimal porting needs. The OS porting and BSP (Board Support Package) customization concept has made OEM community able to meet their strict Time to market requirements. This paper discusses the general steps involved in porting Android 4.3 onto I.MX6 SoC based custom hardware platform.
