Which AOSP branch is the best to stick with for hikey?

I’ve been trying to work on getting a custom build of AOSP to work with the hikey board but it is somewhat like trying to hit a moving target, esp with the master branch.

Is there a suggested branch to use while developing an AOSP build for hikey?

Thanks,
Mike

Point is that the board is only maintained on master branch for AOSP, You can however branch master at a certain commit/tag and create your own ‘stable’ branch…

Trying to find the right place to branch seems to be a bit hit and miss… Any suggestions?

Right now I can’t get master to even build without modifying some files as I did in another post here, and the 8.1.0-r1 branch does not seem to have working video acceleration (The display takes a very long time to register a touch event, several seconds, and logcat complains it can’t get vsync (01-01 00:01:09.861 1903 1964 W SurfaceFlinger: Timed out waiting for hw vsync; faking it)

Thanks,
Mike
