We're using the same bring-up method as cyanogenmod, but our both our kernel and bluez versions differ.

    • Investigating to add valgrind to B2G source tree.
      • There is AOSP version of valgrind (base on 3.6.0), not sure if it's fully worked, and seems it supports Android ics only.
      • Should be better to use valgrind 3.7.0 from SVN.
        • valgrind 3.7.0 can be built manually and working on SGS2.
        • Integrating to B2G source tree need to port it from automake to Android.mk, it's not a lightweight task. Consider to add flexbility to use reguar makefile instead of Android.mk in B2G source?
