+# Android Driver Package Format
+
+## Contents
+- `meta.json` that follows `Schema`
+- `<driver>.so` main driver shared library
+- `*.so` all libraries depended on by the main driver library, these must have their sonames altered if they wish to replace the system version of the library
+
+## Example
+`meta.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 1,
+  "name": "Qualcomm v615 Vulkan driver",
+  "description": "Proprietary Vulkan driver for Adreno 6xx and Adreno 7xx",
+  "author": "ByLaws",
+  "packageVersion": "2",
+  "vendor": "Qualcomm",
+  "driverVersion": "0.615.0",
+  "minApi": 27,
+  "libraryName": "vulkan.ad0615.so"
+}
+```
+
+`vulkan.ad0615.so`: main patched driver
+`notadreno_utils.so`, `notdmabufheap.so`, `notgsl.so`, `notllvm-glnext.so`, `notllvm-qgl.so`: patched-soname versions of libraries specific to each driver version
+`android.hardware.graphics.mappershim.so`, `vendor.qti.hardware.display.mapperextensionsshim.so`, `vendor.qti.hardware.display.mappershim.so`: qtimapper-shim libs
+
+## Creation
+I recommend running blob-patcher.py to patch a set of blobs from a device dump with mapper ver as 5, then copying in the qtimapper-shim files from the adrenotools releases page.
+```bash
+$ mkdir outpkg
+$ patch.py <device dump> outpkg vulkan.adreno.so vulkan.ad0615.so 5
+$ vim outpkg/meta.json
+$ cp qtimapper-shim-rel/* outpkg
+```
