7 Why Android? Why now? "The Android circle is getting bigger," "Everything should be... Androidified?...is that the word?" Andy Rubin Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

8 Android everywhere? Leader in smartphone sales WW since But not just an OS for mobile phones Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

9 What is Android? - Android is a software platform, rather than just an operating system (OS) having the potential for deployment across a much wider range of devices - Is a complete development framework with a unique development environment, Linux based - Out-of-the-box Internet-enabled - Android provides a sophisticated GUI framework and user interfaces that product designers can customize - A solid, standardized development environment - Large open source developer community Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

10 Android beyond mobile? Since Multi CPU support: Arm, MIPS, X86 becoming a standard way to bring the full Internet experience to DTVs, set-top boxes, MIDs, digital picture frames and other embedded devices The Android Application Market, both as a channel and a deployment capability is attractive to OEMs and Operators from non-mobile space: Automotive, home automation, productivity support, e-health, M2M Wind River.

11 Business Reasons for Choosing Android Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

12 Why Use Android for Embedded Devices? Business Reasons 1. Clear licensing approach 2. Comprehensive source code 3. Rapid innovation and release cadence 4. Ecosystem support 5. Good documentation and training materials Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

13 Android key advantages and main issues? Business advantages for OEMs/ODMs Reduces cost for obtaining a commercial solution Increase time-to-market Large ecosystem New revenue stream - services Business disadvantages for OEMs/ODMs Unpredictable costs for upgrades Hard to differentiate New revenue stream outside the corebusiness Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

14 Licensing a big advantage 1. Apache 2.0-based Commercial friendly Open source friendly Some exceptions but manageable Kernel GPLv2 2. Contributor license grants Individuals Corporations IP and copyright compliance reviews must still be completed prior to release Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

15 Lots of Source Code 1. Comprehensive set of common elements 200+ GIT Trees in public Android repo Source for common coms packages Wi-Fi etc Multiple vendors (Broadcom, TI) 2. Actively managed by contributors For all three project types (core, external, packages) 3. Many external packages are used by other open source distributions BlueZ, D-Bus, OpenSSL, webkit, sqlite, zlib Submitted accepted Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

16 Rapid Innovation and Release Cadence 1. Rapid release sequence is sign of: Stack maturity (decreasing) Community adoption and involvement Real world feedback Google investment RTOS Embedded Linux Android 2. It is expected to settle down to 1-2 major release and multiple updates per year Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

17 Broad Ecosystem Support 1. Support for leading processor architectures and vendors 2. Rapidly growing application developer community 3. Multiple commercialization partners within OHA Not all architectures are equally supported (SDK, NDK, CTS) Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

18 Degree of complexity/expertise required Documentation and Training Materials 1. Extensive training and documentation Instructions Videos Blogs Best practices Tutorials 2. Newcomer friendly Get to base enablement quickly Vertical market specific customization and release/patch maintenance Board bring up vertical market version of Android Snapshot release Android bring-up on reference board Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

19 Android Certification for Compatibility What is the Android certification The aim of the Android compatibility is to provide a consistent application and hardware environment to application developers The Android certification compatibility program : The source code to the Android software stack The Compatibility Definition Document (CDD), representing the "policy" aspect of compatibility The Compatibility Test Suite (CTS), representing the "mechanism" of compatibility What is the role of Android Market in compatibility? Devices that are Android compatible may seek to license the Android Market client software to become part of the Android app ecosystem. This option isn't available to devices that aren't compatible Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

20 Why and when to certify a device The Android Compatibility Program is optional Anyone can use it to build any kind of device using Android and not looking to certify it If a manufacturer wishes to use the Android name with their product, or wants access to Android Market, they must first demonstrate that the device is compatible Google apps for Android, such as YouTube, Google Maps and Navigation, Gmail, and so on are Google properties that are not part of Android, and are licensed separately Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

21 What about not getting the Android certification Non certifiable devices can run Android applications (but not guarantee to run all of them) Variation of tablets-like devices will not require Google certification. However they can t be advertised as Android device and will not have access to Google Market Place Multiple application stores, (like Motorola and Samsung), are considered as "healthy competition". Today Google doesn t commit to certify devices that are not consumer (as Automotive or A&D), therefore they don t want to license Google Marketplace (GMS) even tough they will pass 100% CTS and CDD Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

22 The different flavor of Android devices Google Branded (Nexus one, Galaxy S) Google apps Google default ui No middleware customization CTS compliant (Desire S, Droid X) Google apps Custom UI possible Custom apps and middleware Custom (Acer netbook, Archos Tablets gen8) No Google apps Everything can be customized Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

23 Best model is to focus on first device, then others follow Google Release Device Alpha Release Device Beta Release Device Final Release First Device n Devices Second Device 23 Wind River Confidential 2011 Wind River. All Rights Reserved

24 Efficiencies Realized for Multiple Devices and Carriers Amount of Effort for Android Upgrade Android Device 1 Android Device 2 Android Device 3 Android Device 4 Effort decreases for each device based on BOM similarity among devices Number of devices per product line 24 Wind River Confidential 2011 Wind River.

33 Virtualization in Embedded Android Consolidation: Reduce the number, size, weight, and power of application-specific devices by consolidating disparate functionality onto common hardware. Performance: Increase the speed and functionality of your systems while decreasing the power requirements. Separation (safety/security): Isolate certified applications from noncertified applications to retain certification levels while extending functionality. Migration to new platforms: Extend existing functionality, leveraging legacy applications and stacks while adding new functionality. Preserve investment in existing products while adding new differentiated features in new isolated application stacks Wind River. All Rights Reserved.

34 Example of virtualization use cases In-vehicle infotainment: consolidate head unit (Android), realtime (e.g. cluster displays), and/or instant-on/safety-critical (e.g., rear-view camera) Software-defined radio: real-time/safety-critical alongside Android Health: isolate and secure sensitive patient information per HIPAA on mobile devices, e.g., electronic medical records management by physicians Real-time: Using a separate virtual board for real-time activities IP separation: Isolating GPL and LGPL components from proprietary ones Multiuser: Separating work and personal activities 34
