Evaluation, Development Toolbox, and Custom Android Builds

Explore the features included in each Tier of our Android product line, from general evaluation images to a specific-featured developer toolkit and custom design production-ready builds. 

Evaluation OS

For rapid initial assessment and thorough performance analysis, we provide readily available pre-built Android images. These evaluation-focused images are specifically designed to streamline your hardware performance testing procedures and facilitate comprehensive app evaluation directly on the intended target hardware. While offering a focused feature set, these images ensure essential functionalities such as user interface visualization, robust performance metrics, seamless Bluetooth device communication, and reliable networking capabilities for effective testing.

Android Developer Toolkit

Unleash the full potential of your embedded projects with our Embedded Android Developer Toolkit. Kynetics’ new product, engineered for software engineers, is a comprehensive full software stack that empowers active development on fully enabled hardware capabilities on the target board. The Embedded Android Developer Toolkit allows you to have complete control over your target module’s buses and I/O, seamlessly accessible through our embedded SDK. Amplify your app development prowess and effortlessly control GPIOs, PWMs, Serial ports (RS-232/485), CANBus, I2C, and SPI interfaces as code. Yes, every Android developer becomes an embedded developer! Our Developer Toolkit includes (OTA) functionalities, enabling remote application deployment testing and the reception of Kynetics OS security updates, or custom OS updates with our premium professional support. With the Developer Toolkit license, each customer also receives ten hours of our unbeatable professional support.

Our Android for Industry-leading silicon makers and ODMs 

Choosing the right Android version for your SOM or single board computer (SBC) depends on several factors. Newer Android versions offer enhanced features, security, and performance, but may have limited support for older SOMs. Silicon makers play a crucial role in adapting their technologies to the Android framework, ensuring compatibility and optimized performance. Consider the specific requirements of your project, the availability of Android support for your chosen SOM, and the level of customization needed. Evaluate the trade-offs between the latest features and the stability and support of older versions.
