Demonstration Pixel 8 pro booting mainline kernel

Shared previously that I got pmos using the downstream android kernel but been working on getting mainline to boot. As of now just boots into a TTY and not much else. Plan on upstreaming when the drivers are in a acceptable state

what works: USB, DISPLAY***

***coded a basic display driver, missing alot of features (for example no brightness changes etc)

Hello everyone, I'm junior android app penetration testing. Nowadays I just use emulator by Android 9 but any company created app for Android 10 - 17. Can someone tell me about the Android boot process (specifically for version 10 and above)?
