Sharing some technical information about porting, Bimbhat informed that A port is divided into Primary Secondary and tertiary categories. Primary refers to the first device that gets ported to in a family from the BRB i.e the base reference build. Similarly the secondary and the tertiary are the ‘other’ devices in the family, we port to after this. The Porting Lab uses both the manual and automated process to achieve this.
