Bass builds

These builds are all produced using Bliss Co-Labs' BASS (Broad Apparatus Support System) and the Bass build toolkit. Based off Android-x86/Bliss OS source, and designed to be easily configured, customized and rebranded for product use.

We do most of the work that would be required to make Bliss OS builds "production ready", meaning we remove most proprietary parts from the technology stack, leaving only linux-firmware, drivers and some media codecs (C2 & FFMPEG).

About Lockdown/Admin modes

(Kiosk & Restricted builds only)

We added Lockdown mode so our customers can set & forget, and only access all of Android when maintenance is required. Think of it like single application displays. You don't want the user to play with settings, navigate back to recents or anything like that. So we made a boot mode that locks out all that, and a correcsponding boot mode that unlocks it for setup and maintenance.
