The refers to a specific Board Support Package (BSP) configuration used in embedded Linux and Android systems, primarily associated with the Telechips TCC8163 System-on-Chip (SoC). "ALPS" is a common codename used by platform vendors (and historically associated with development cycles by manufacturers like Panasonic and various automotive Tier-1 suppliers) to denote a specific hardware revision or reference platform.
