CodeAurora (CAF) tag naming meaning


What is the meaning of parts of tag (BuildID ) on CodeAurora ( on Qualcomm's MSM for Android repo).

The full list is here https://wiki.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release, but here are some examples:

The LA part seems to be consistent, but I can't figure out the meaning of other parts like ( UM, HB, AU, BR ), or the versioning. The last part 89xx seems to refer to the hipset


Solution

  • I talked to a Qualcomm representative a while ago. This is what I could surmise:

    LA = Linux Android  
    UM = He didn't know either. Seems its just ramdom release naming, without some deeper meaning  
    8.6.2.r2 = QCOM release version ( doesn't mean its Android 8 )  
    01600 = release sub-version   
    89xx  = chipset.
