name	aosp-device-support
description	AOSP Part XIV — Device Support. Use when reasoning about per-architecture support (ARM 32/64, x86_64, RISC-V, ABI matrix, toolchains), the QEMU-based Android emulator (AVD format, hardware acceleration, guest kernel), DevicePolicyManager (work profiles, fully-managed devices, COPE, enrollment), Android Automotive / TV / Wear (CarService, vehicle HAL, Leanback, TIF, Wear OS specifics), Print Services (PrintManager, IPP, PDF generation), or the Camera2 pipeline (Camera2 API, CaptureRequest/Result, camera HAL3). Chapters 59–62.

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
