TI Android market view

Very traditional

Semi - traditional

Unconventional

The Android architecture is

flexible enough that it is getting

used in unconventional products

like Rugged PDA, Medical UI,

Industrial devices etc

Android architecture is

intended to solve the

software issues for

mobile devices

Android architecture is readily

applied into Semi-traditional

devices like MID, Video Conf

apps, etc

Introducing TI Android DevKit

Explain Android Stack and TI’s responsibility What TI adds in Android Development and release model

- Android provides Std. phone apps- Android Market provides more apps

Our “TI” main FOCUS- Implement HAL- Port Linux Device Drivers- Integrate SGX drivers, Flash libraries, etc- Provide Boot loader, docs, tests

- TI will enable & support framework’s based on customer needs

System wide tasks for TI include

- Validation / System testing

- Benchmarking

- Get Android CTS

- Design solution to customer problems (NDK, apps, etc)

- Collaterals

- OOB

- Package and release TI DevKit

Where & how TI operate in Android Stack ?

Android™ on – www.arowboat.org

• Rowboat (www.arowboat.org) – a community portal for Android on TI ARM® Cortex™-A8 platforms

– A completely free, open-source project for all customers, developers, and third parties

• Supported by TI Development team

– Android base port and graphics support available for TI EVMs and Community boards (Beagleboard and Beaglebone now) on rowboat.

– Includes: Code (binary and source), WiKi, How-to’s, links, IRC, FAQs, and more

• TI Android Development Kit – Derived from rowboat to aid customers development

and out of the box experience.• Stable periodic snapshots (approx. every 6 months)

available on www.ti.com

• Tested by TI quality assurance team

• Include product specific documentation
