Business Challenge
To have access to engine data easily,, open source but secure platform is necessary…!!!!
Business Challenge
Now, for open-secure platform …
Android is the obvious choice..!!!!!!!!
Business Challenge
PowerPC is most widely used architecture for rugged application like Aerospace
Business Challenge
But…
eInfochips Challenge
Android is based on little endian architecture
PowerPC is based on Big endian architecture
eInfochips Challenges
No Documentation
No tool chain available for PowerPC
Requirement to modify scripts extensively
Bugs discovered
Mismatch in definition and declaration
Missing function for Big-endian operations
eInfochips SuccessPowerPC (NXP T2081)
