About the release

My Android 8.0 bring-up started in April with my AOSP Master project.

Master being the mainline public Android development, it helped getting

most of the hardware requirements for the next Android release prepared

and ready for the evolution along the weeks. Though 8.0.0 introduced

more hardware changes and improvements, it was ready for about 75% of the needs.

Full details about the initial boot are explained here : #post73504552
