Ethan,
We had Android Lollipop running on iMx+WL18xxMOD : processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx_First_Time_Getting_Started_Guide_(IMX6) . We didn't port subsequent versions of Android to it. Your customer may use our Lollipop release as reference and port Android 8 to it.

Thanks
Saurabh

Recommendation for experimentation and porting according to your customer platform.

1) processors.wiki.ti.com/.../6AO.1.1_Release_Notes : This is tested on TI J6 EVM with Wilink8Q on Android Oreo(8.1).
Note: the solution in the mentioned android sdk is only for wifi.

2)source.android.com/.../devices : This is tested on hikey with WL1837MOD on Android Oreo (8.1).
