Ax86Docs (on-device documentation)

Ax86Docs is the offline documentation app shipped on Bass: Lineout builds that include --extras. It opens a WebView and renders markdown bundled into the image at build time.

Package	com.navotpala.ax86docs
Build	Included with --extras
Default doc	PRODUCT.md (Bass: Lineout overview)

What it shows

At build time, update_docs.sh collects:

• Every *.md under vendor/ax86-lite (package READMEs, product docs, and so on)
• Selected external docs from SmartDock DFC and Ethernet Config

Those files are packed into doc_data.js and installed with the app. Pick a document from the dropdown in the app.

Adding docs for a new package

1. Put a README.md (or other .md) in your vendor_packages/<name>/ folder.
2. Rebuild with --extras so build.sh runs the Ax86Docs update step.
3. The new file shows up in the on-device list automatically.

To pull markdown from outside vendor/ax86-lite, add the path to EXTERNAL_DOCS in vendor_packages/Ax86Docs/update_docs.sh.

Public docs vs on-device docs

	Ax86Docs	This Documentation site
Where	On the device	docs.blisscolabs.dev
Source	Vendor tree markdown (+ a few AOSP package docs)	This git repo
Best for	Field / offline reference next to the feature	Install, licensing, and the full product guide

Many of the same topics appear in both places. Prefer this site for install and licensing; use Ax86Docs when you are already on the device.
