FYI, noticed news on https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/12/02/...-kit-only/
Android 12 for TV now available, albeit only for the ADT-3 Developer Kit based on the Amlogic S905Y2 processor.
...
Highlights of the Android 12 for TV release include:
The ADT-3 Developer kit should automatically receive an OTA firmware update to Android 12, and you can manually install Android 12 for TV by downloading the “Android TV” or “Google TV” image on the developer website, and flashing it with flashboot. If you don’t own the ADT-3 developer kit, you can still try the user interface in Android Emulator for TV, but obviously, most other improvements cannot be tested with the emulator. It’s unclear when consumer devices will receive the update.
