Android Oreo系统移植上需要注意的更新

以下是Android Oreo版本的主要更新，平台移植相关的开发者需要关注并做适配。

本文列举出对应features，后续移植过程中遇到的问题会进行分享交流。

Implementing USB HAL

The Android O release moves handling of USB commands out of init scripts and into a native

USB daemon for better configuration and code reliability. For more information, see

Implementing USB HAL in Android O  .

Kernel enhancements to LLDB/C++ debugging

The Android O release includes kernel enhancements that help developers create better

applications by improving their debugging experience. For more information, see  Implementing

kernel enhancements to LLDB/C++ debugging in Android O  .

Enabling sanitizers in the Android build system

Sanitizers are compiler-based instrumentation components to use during development and

testing in order to identify bugs and make Android better. Android's current set of sanitizers can

discover and diagnose memory misuse bugs and potentially dangerous undefined behavior. For

more information, see  Enabling Sanitizers in the Android Build System  .

Android TV O Overview

You can see an overview of changes and new features for Android TV in the O release. More

detailed TV-specific feature docs are coming shortly! For more information, see  Android O for

TV device partners  .

Storaged

Android O adds support for  storaged  , an Android native daemon that collects and publishes

storage metrics on Android devices. For more information, see  Implementing Storaged in

Android O  .

Optimizing SquashFS at the Kernel Level

SquashFS is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux, suitable for use on the system

partition. The optimizations in this document help improve the performance of SquashFS. For

more information, see  Optimizing SquashFS at the Kernel Level  .

Vehicle Camera HAL

Describes the design of an exterior view system (EVS) stack and provides the HAL specification

for supporting the acquisition and presentation of vehicle camera data. For more information,

see  Exterior View System (EVS) Vehicle Camera HAL.

Picture-in-picture

Android O includes support for picture-in-picture (PIP) on Android handheld devices. PIP allows

users to resize an app with an ongoing activity, such as a video, into a small window. For more

information, see  Android O—Picture-in-Picture on Android handsets  .

Kernel Hardening

Upstreamed kernel hardening features and tools to find bugs in kernel drivers. For more

information, see  Implementing kernel hardening in Android O  .

Android Verified Boot

Android O includes a reference implementation of Verified Boot (AVB): this doc covers how to

implement AVB for your boot loader. For more information, see  Android O—Implementing

Android Verified Boot  .

Flash Wear Management

Describes eMMC behavior and new features to help OEMs lower the risk of a failing eMMC in

the automotive environment. For more information, see  Flash Wear Management in Android

Automotive  .

Optimizing Boot Times

Partner guidance for improving boot times for specific Android devices. For more information,

see  Optimizing boot times in Android O  .

VDEX files: Improve System Update Performance

VDEX files improve the performance and user experience of software updates. VDEX files store

pre-validated DEX files with verifier dependencies so that during system updates ART does not

need to extract and verify the DEX files again. No partner action is needed to implement this

feature. It is enabled by default. To disable the feature, set the  ART_ENABLE_VDEX

environment variable to  false  .
