Architecture Expand PNG
The MediaTek split build architecture separates source code by layer, enabling independent builds per layer, which decouples the system image from the vendor image. This improves modularity, maintainability, supports flexible SoC integration, and provides the flexibility to support multiple Genio SoCs and future upgrades in line with Google's Android migration policies.
