What is the directory structure of android AOSP root tree?

Image
  This is short version of what you will find when you download the Android source. I will leave out some minor directories and dig deeper into a couple of the important ones. Basically what you will get (based on the (Kit Kat - 4.4.4), in alphabetical order: Bionic   - the C-runtime for Android. Note that Android is not using glibc like most Linux distributions. Instead the c-library is called bionic and is based mostly on BSD-derived sources. In this folder you will find the source for the c-library, math and other core runtime libraries. Bootable   - boot and startup related code. Some of it is legacy, the fastboot protocol info could be interesting since it is implemented by boot loaders in a number of devices such as the Nexus ones.

NFC : Reading a MiFare Classic 1K from Android Devices

Image
Ever since Near Field Communication was embedded on mobile phones, loads of new ideas and business proposals made people very busy. So does the Android platform with its API's supporting NFC. Nexus S looks like a state of the art - good starting point if one wants to get past the monotonic Nokia's piece of the cake. I just want to share with you my experience on reading a MiFare Classic tag using the Nexus S..and the Android platform.  You need to have : A MiFare Classic 1k Tag - ( hopefully you know the keys for its Blocks :=) ) Android SDK and IDE Preferable a Nexus S (Make sure if the Android version is 2.3.3 and above). Some Basics about the card: MiFare classic cards store data in its Sectors. In MiFare classic 1k card there are 16 of them. Each Sector contains 4 blocks.  You can store 16 bytes in each block. Making about 1024 bytes of storage space..that explains the 1K part of the card. You can perform common tasks like reading, writing data on these blocks, authent
