I need to build aosp 4.2.2 for a device which is not present in the device tree/lunch combo. Can someone please explain the detailed steps required to make a new device tree? I have knowledge that u need files like Android.mk, AndroidProducts.mk, BoardConfig.mk etc. but a detailed explanation about what exactly goes in there and also some idea on determining proprietary that would be required apart from aosp. Thanks.
