Can someone help me understand the how an OS (especially mobile ones) is "ported" to a new device?

Bump. I want to know what's the device-specific firmware/drivers the manufacturer writes, and how it's "plugged" to the Android OS.

If I'm not mistaken, you have to add built-in drivers for the new hardware and make sure that the OS can actually use the new hardware it is supposed to run on. You also have to use an appropriate compiler if you are porting to a new architecture.

Why haven't anyone made a Port Tycoon? I would love to handle containers and running a port
