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.
Accelerating Pressure for
Time-to-Market & Reduced
Development Costs
Greater Complexity in
Devices & Associated
Infrastructure
+Companies must have a Common Strategic Software Platform to
meet these challenges

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.
22Celestial confidential
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.
