possibility of only starting up adb

[Tez]

Hi,

I am investigating the boot process, and I only wish to boot the
kernel upto a point where adb is functional.
when does the adb daemon start? (where in the code).

Cheers,
Earlence

correction: boot the system upto a point where adb is functional. I
dont want the entire android framework to be booted.

once you may have deciphered ... :-) keep posted!

I think that you need to modify init.rc file (like remove bottom half of it).
It's located in system/core/rootdir/
Docs on bootflow and init.rc syntax are in system/core/init

Look for "service adb /sbin/adbd" in /init.rc on your root filesystem.

You'll have to decide what other stuff you can comment out, if you
just want this running. Note that the main application framework
all starts from zygote, which is also started by 'init' based on an
entry in /init.rc.

As for boot sequence information, you might want to look at:
