What do we actually provide? • Kernel, as always (github) • Device configuration (github) • Proprietary binaries (developer.sonymobile.com) • The source for Android itself is downloaded from Google. 23 2013-02-21 PA1 Confidential
Kernel Based on the Qualcomm kernel with Sony adoptions The source code including details on how to build is available at: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/wiki 24 2013-02-21 PA1 Confidential
Device configurations Following the conventional AOSP style for device/sony/xyz. These are available as gits on github. There is one device/sony/lagan that is common for all variants of lagan devices, and one device specific git, e.g. device/sony/c6603. The device specific git actually covers variants of the same device. I.e. c6603 should work for all c660x devices. 25 2013-02-21 PA1 Confidential
Proprietary binaries There are several parts of the device software that we cannot make available as source code. Some of these parts are however available as binaries for download at our developer site: http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/android- open-source-project-for-xperia-devices/ 26 2013-02-21 PA1 Confidential

Intended usage • Playing around with AOSP on Sony devices • Development tool for people doing Android ROMs for Sony devices => This is not intended for consumer devices, or every day use. 28 2013-02-21 PA1 Confidential
Objective moving forward Basically we want to support all versions of android on all Sony devices. This may not be possible, but we’ll try for some of them… We want to build as much as possible from source. We want to enable as much HW as possible. 29 2013-02-21 PA1 Confidential
Can people contribute? Yes, please! -AOSP changes every day, and every day something may break on our side. Getting a heads up when that happens is greatly appreciated -If we messed something up in the kernel or configuration we love to hear about it -Talk to us on github or developer.sonymobile.com 30 2013-02-21 PA1 Confidential
