We've released a Model Port guide for porting to Toyota/Lexus models.
If you port openpilot to a substantially new car brand, see this more generic Brand Port guide. You might also be eligible for a bounty. See our bounties at comma.ai/bounties.html
Pull requests should be against the master branch. Before running master on in-car hardware, you'll need to run
