ALPS
Meaning
ALPS is the name for parts of Mediatek's Linux platform. There is no known or official meaning, there are some rumors that it stands for "Advanced Linux Platform System" or "Android Linux Platform System", but none of that is confirmed. It could also just mean "Alps", since other parts of Mediatek's internal codebase appear to be named after other mountain ranges like the Himalaya (appears to be the modem stack).
