Any ideas?

The camera is not working yet as we're missing the proprietary DSP firmware that it needs.

Thanks. I managed to find another thread in the building group where
you private script can be used to extract drivers.
The camera is working now. But got few issues:

How come Google isn't available as an account?

ok seems like googleservicesframework is proprietary too.

Indeed, that's neither part of the Android platform nor necessary to
run the Android platform.

Indeed, the camera requires a proprietary DSP firmware that isn't
included in the 4 packages you mentioned above and that isn't
available for AOSP.

"absolutely no way" is too strong a statement. If you get a separate
license for the necessary files, that'll all work.
