    Hi guys,
    I managed to get both SATA and S/PDIF to work on Android 4.3.
    I am willing to upstream my changes, which involve several changes in different projects (kernel, tinyalsa, bsp and something more).
    I based al my work on the UDOO_Android_4.3_Source_v2.0.tar.gz archive, which is a unique tarball containing all the projects.
    I was wondering: do you have a git repo or at least a proper repo manifest I can use to fork my changes?
    I was thinking of basing on the github.com/android projects and fork the one where I have my changes. However I'd really appreciate if I could avoid the burden of recreating a manifest from scratch myself.
    Any pointers?
    Thanks,
    Primiano.

    Never mind, I managed to set-up the manifest myself.
    I created a manifest which allows to get the source code (equivalent to the original tarball) and build an Android image for the UDOO quad.
    The instructions and the manifest are here
    https://github.com/primiano/udoo_platfo ... /README.md

    Note: this does NOT contain yet the aforementioned SATA and S/PDIF fixes. I plan to add them and create a second branch of the manifest in the next days.
    This is essentially a git-friendly clone of the 4.3 v.2.0 image. I took a base android-4.3_r2.1 AOSP manifest and cherry-picked the deltas (mostly freescale addons) coming from the open source tarball.

    This should allow easier collaboration and hacking of the Android image in the open source community (instead of sending / attaching diff files around).
    Happy hacking everybody.

    Hi Primiano,

    Really thanks for the great job!!
    I am just thinking if no one does this job, I have to create such repos in Github...
    And I find your post in this forum. That saves me lots of time.
