  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
- `60-emulator.md` — QEMU-based Android emulator, AVD format, hardware acceleration (KVM/HAXM/HVF), guest kernel, Studio integration
- `61-device-policy.md` — DevicePolicyManager, work profiles, fully-managed devices, COPE, restrictions, enrollment flows
- `62-form-factors.md` — non-phone device form factors: Android Automotive (CarService, vehicle HAL) + the Software Defined Vehicle platform, Android TV (Leanback, TIF), Wear OS, and emerging Android XR
- `63-print-services.md` — PrintManager, print services, IPP, default printer service, PDF generation
- `64-camera2-pipeline.md` — Camera2 API, CameraDeviceImpl, CaptureRequest/Result, capture pipeline, camera HAL3
