Dear Shanjit, >> intend to modify the source I downloaded from AOSP https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1 and >>then build. Why you want to do that? Android is an Embedded Linux Framework especially designed for mobile and phone application. So driver for GPS, WIFI, Blutooth etc is already there. If you are trying to modify and port Android for some other industrial application, then you may do that and then only should the rest of the questions you have asked, come into picture?
