Need for Strategic Software Platform

Key attributes in their selection include:• Lower total costs & Development Time• Non-proprietary, standards-based open system software• Software framework with Advanced Multimedia & Graphics Support

Android™ meets these needs and therefore will dominate.

Mobile Device Platforms

►Linux™ based frameworks gaining popularity

►Market leaning towards Community based/Open Source Mobile Device Platforms

►Major Mobile Device Platform communities:

►Android from OHA (sponsored by Google)

►LiMo (from NEC, Panasonic, Motorola etc.)

►Moblin (sponsored by Intel)

►Growing support for Android™ in developers

10Celestial confidential

► Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project

► From http://source.android.com/“Android is the first free, open source, and fully customizable mobile platform. Android offers a full stack: an operating system, middleware, and key mobile applications. It also contains a rich set of APIs that allows third-party developers to develop great applications.”

What is Android?

11Celestial confidential

Android offers a great starting point for both Platform and Application developers

Platform developers can get reference source code (http://source.android.com/download) Application developers can use the pre-built SDK (http://developer.android.com)Device Manufacturers can benefit from the large pool of application (free & paid) available from Android Market (http://www.android.com/market)

Where do I start?

Android™Technical Overview

14Celestial confidential

Android Architecture

15Celestial confidential

►Android™ is built on top of Linux Kernel but Android™ is NOT Linux.

►Patch of “Kernel Enhancements” to support Android.

►New functionalities added :-

►Anonymous Shared Memory system for processes

►Low Memory KillerAlgorithm for selecting process to kill is changed

Linux Kernel

16Celestial confidential

Linux Kernel Contd...

► IPC BinderAdded as driver in kernel to facilitate IPCHigh performance through shared memoryPre -process thread pool for faster processing.

►Power Management (PM) Built on top of standard Linux PM.More aggressive power management policySupports different types of Wake Locks as Full Wake Lock and Partial Wake Locks

17Celestial confidential

►Bionic libc

►Functional libraries

Native libraries

18Celestial confidential

Native libraries - Bionic

►Custom libc Implementation optimized for embedded use.►Small in size.

►Optimized for limited power CPUs

►Built-in support for important Android-specific services as “ getprop and LOGI”

►NOT compatible with GNU libc

►All native code must be compiled against bionic.

19Celestial confidential

Native libraries - Functional

►WebKit

•Based on open source Webkit Browser

•Renders pages in full (Desktop) view.

20Celestial confidential

Native libraries - Functional

►SQlite

• Light weight transactional data store

• Back-end for most platform data-storage.

►Open GLES

•Use for 2D and 3D graphics

•Either software / hardware accelerated.

21Celestial confidential

Native libraries - Functional

►Media Framework

• Standard formats for A/V & still-image

• Hardware / software codec plug-ins.

• OpenMax standard compliance

• Media playback, streaming, downloading (3gpp, MPEG-4, MP3 and AAC containers)

• Speech codecs : AMR-NB, AMR-WB.

Opencore - PV

23Celestial confidential

Hardware Abstraction Layers

►Separates the Android™ platform logic from the hardware interface.

►Libraries are loaded dynamically at runtime as needed.

24Celestial confidential

Application Frameworks

►Core platform services

•Services that are essential to the Android™platform

•Applications typically don't access them directly.

►Hardware Services (Sits on top of HAL)

•Provides access to low level hardware API's.
