Announcing the porting guide 2.0

 

As you all know, we have reached a major milestone with the first flash
sales of the BQ Aquarius - Ubuntu Edition, and this is only the
beginning of seeing Ubuntu on a wider selection of phones and tablets.
Thanks to an incredible porting community, a fair number of devices have
already been allowed to be part of that show and some of these skilled
porters have even set up their own image server
<http://system-image.tasemnice.eu/> to provide OTA updates.

To ease the porting process, the Porting Guide
<https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/>
has been updated to reflect the current procedure of enabling new
devices. From setting up your dev environment, to configuring the kernel
and debugging AppArmor, it covers the main points of making a fully
working port. Currently focusing on AOSP ports, it will be extended in
due time to detail CyanogenMod-specific processes.

If you are interested in porting, please make sure you provide feedback
on any issues and roadblocks that could arise, either on Launchpad
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-ubuntu-com/+bugs> or on this list.
Thank you!
