Evaluation, Fast Prototyping, and Custom-Engineered Embedded Android

Why Embedded Android?

Embedded Android leverages an open-source platform with a familiar user interface, a vast developer community, a powerful SDK to abstract the underlying hardware, and a robust security model. It simplifies creating secure devices with rich, touch-based GUIs and multimedia capabilities.

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.

Simplifying Embedded Development

Unleash the full potential of your embedded projects with our Embedded Android Developer Toolkit. Kynetics’ new product, engineered for software engineers, is a comprehensive software stack that empowers active development on the supported target board thanks to a fully equipped Android OS. The Embedded Android Developer Toolkit provides complete control over your target module’s buses and I/O, which is easily accessible through our Android 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 Over-The-Air (OTA) update functionalities, enabling remote application deployment testing and the reception of Kynetics OS security updates, as well as custom OS updates with our premium professional support. With the Developer Toolkit license, customers also receive professional enrollment support.

From Development to Production

Our design-driven Android OS is the definitive operating system solution meticulously engineered for your production deployments.

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.
