8 Android do you build or buy? Android selection has been made but OS is not strategic Long-term internal engineering investment decision into Android Core business focus does not warrant internal OS investment Partner-based augmentation to differentiate/meet specific requirements Wind River Platform for Android Wind River Solution Accelerators for Android 8

9 Understanding PFA and solution accelerators AOSP Android TI, Intel, FSL, PFA Community Customer product Solution Accelerators 9

10 Wind River Platform for Android Things to consider when evaluating a commercial Android platform strategy: Estimate the true impact on development time in preparing Android for your target device. R&D effort is allocated to getting the basic Android configuration right, for every release. Software licensing and legal compliance with Android. Long term support of the device. 10

11 Wind River Solution Accelerators for Android PFA is the full solution while each solution accelerator is a unique feature. These solutions fulfill specific customer or operator needs: Example: Standard Android takes too long to start up. Example: I want my device to be better connected to other devices. Solutions are silicon-, Android-version-, and device-type- (handset, tablet, etc.) independent where possible. We provide source code if modifications are desired. All solutions are fully tested, documented, supported, and IP reviewed, thereby providing a solid value to the customer. 11

12 Maintenance Google Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Two to Three Releases per Year Binary Support Package Intel, TI, Qualcomm, NVIDIA Solution Accelerators, Testing, IP Review, Licensing, Documentation, Packaging, Demo Customer or Wind River Professional Services Customization and Certification Support Wind River Solution Accelerators for Android Example Solution Accelerators Wind River Media Center Android Firmware Management Boot Optimization Multi-Windows USB OTG SyncML Medical HDP/IEEE Power-on Alarm Ethernet (Docking) FM Radio Multi-user Remote UI (HDMI, MHL, Mirror Link, ipod Out) 12

13 Wind River Solution Accelerators for Android Packaged and distributed Individually In groups as solution accelerator packs As part of a complete BSP extension implementation Solution Accelerators Packs: Mobile device user experience Mobile device connectivity Medical device connectivity Automotive (future) Aerospace and defense (future) Industrial (future) 13

14 Android Firmware Management AOSP does not provide 100%: Mostly manual using SDcard Wind River offers solutions depending on customer need: Update and restore: Completes the AOSP solution Auto update and restore: Uses browser to point to the download file, and we ll do the rest Easily expanded to support a push-based model Cost effective Only available on Intel platform today Red Bend firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) comprehensive solution that includes firmware pushes and incremental updates 14

15 Wind River Media Center Digital Living Network Association ( Ability to share multimedia seamlessly between Wi-Fiequipped devices (phones, cameras, tablets, TVs, settop boxes, Blu-ray players, digital photo frames, etc.) Our solution Server Player Controller 15

16 Multi-Windows Today Android is single application/window: Made sense on phones, less so on tablets Wind River has done extensive modification to AOSP to support multiple live windows at the same time: Abilities Create multiple windows. Move a window. Resize a window. Minimize a window. Maximize a window. Restore a window. Overlap windows. Customize window look and feel (color, border style, icons, etc.) 16

18 Hyper-boot and Accelerated Boot Improving the performance of the device is always a goal. Wind River has implemented a number of improvements to speed up both cold boot and warm boot (suspend -> resume) time. Our warm boot solution supports suspend to Flash or RAM depending on customer need (graph shows Flash). 24% Improvement 65% Improvement 18

21 Android security with Virtualization Android in conjunction with other OS to enable some cases: Security (banking/payment, secure messaging, malware mitigation, data access, DRM) Device Management (reboot, updates, error log, provisioning) Mission critical services (location, emergency-call) Type 1 WR Hypervisor Memory Other OS Virtual Board 1 Virtual Board 2 Wind River Hypervisor ARM Trust Zone (Cortex A9) MIPC Memory Native hypervisor, responsible for initializing the real physical hardware at power-up. Deterministic Event Driven Small footprint Scalable SoC 21

22 Intellectual Property Review Given Android is open source, we must be sure we provide the right disclosures and follow the copyright rules. There is detailed IP review on every Solutions Accelerator and hardware platform release: Both manual and tool supported Careful to check GPL contamination Copyright notices 22
