Fairphone should still be able to get the source for Android from Qualcomm.

How?

Looking at how it works for Wear OS. Qualcomm still only hosts the repos for the BSP and not the whole OS. It's expected to still get those from Google, from the partner portal.

> (BSP) is the layer of software containing hardware-specific boot loaders, device drivers, in sometimes operating system kernels, and other routines

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_support_package presumably. Never heard that TLA in my life and it's not like I've not gotten my hands dirty in Android

Unless you are actually shipping a custom device running Android, there's very little reason for most developers to poke that far down the stack

>>Aachen+j6
You wouldn't need to touch BSPs or drivers unless you're doing bringup or updating the Android kernel for a supported device. The common approach to avoid a lot of pain whn updating Android is to simply stay on the old kernel supported by the OEM or partner.

This acronym is somewhat known in Android device hacking communities that try to replace Android with Linux or Windows, because these communities usually deal with understanding the bootloader and Qualcomm distributes bootloader sources from what I remember in their BSP.
