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.

Choose the Kynetics’ Android product that fits your embedded project stage.
