Android on Embedded Platforms

Our embedded expertise at International SQLStar, spans across various embedded hardware boards. These boards with an application processor that matches the high end Android phones and with high performance system on chips can be used for prototypes of platforms not even available in commercial products yet. The ARM Cortex™-A series of applications processors provide an entire range of solutions for devices hosting a rich OS platform and user applications ranging from ultra-low-cost handset through smartphones, mobile computing platforms, digital TV and set-top boxes through enterprise networking, printers and server solutions.

For example the boards can be used for:

• Building your own device based on Android be it a phone, a tablet, digi-signage, kiosk, POS terminal, MID, Medical and Educational Pads.

• Low level work on the Android – porting, customizing and hardware integration etc.

• Developing custom applications for the platform

• Exploring the full capabilities of Android and understand the platform

 We have worked on various state-of the art embedded boards to provide solutions for our clients and also imparted customized Android training on the following boards.

TI OMAP Beagle Board

BeagleBoard is a low-power, low-cost open source hardware single-board computer (ARM Cortex-A8 Core ~600MHz + TMS320C64x+ DSP ~430MHz) from Texas Instruments.

• Features an ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, TMS320C64x+ DSP for accelerated video and audio decoding, and PowerVR SGX530 GPU to provide accelerated 2D and 3D rendering that supports OpenGL ES 2.0.

• Would recommend getting the updated BeagleBoard xM version instead for ethernet port and delivers extra ARM Cortex-A8 MHz and extra memory with 512MB and more USB ports

• Also can look at new BeagleBone, which is the low-cost, high-expansion hardware-hacker focused BeagleBoard. It is a bare-bones BeagleBoard that acts as a USB or Ethernet connected expansion companion for your current BeagleBoard and BeagleBoard-xM or works stand-alone.

OMAP4 Panda Board

OMAP 4 Panda Board

PandaBoard is a low-power, low-cost single-board computer based on the Texas Instruments 1 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore-based OMAP4430 applications processor.

• Features a dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore CPU, a PowerVR SGX540 GPU, a C64x DSP, and 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM

• Includes wired 10/100 Ethernet as well as wireless Ethernet and Bluetooth connectivity

• OMAP4430 high-performance multimedia application processor architecture designed to provide best-in-class video, image, and graphics processing for various applications.

 OMAP3xEVM

 OMAP35x EVM based on OMAP3 processor is an ideal software development and device prototyping platform to get started on their wireless / multimedia based application and device development.

TI OMAP3 EVM

• Features Superscalar ARM® Cortex™-A8 RISC core with NEON co-processing, IVA2.2 subsystem with a C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) core and SGX subsystem for 2D and 3D graphics acceleration.

• Includes LCD Touch screen on board, Ethernet and WL1271 Wireless Connectivity card for Bluetooth and Wireless LAN

• Useful for building their next generation wireless devices around the OMAP 3 processor with faster user interface, faster data access and multi-standard encode/decode resolution and 30 fps.

AM/DM37xEVM

AM/DM37xEVM is a highly integrated and easy-to-use development platform based on TI’s AM/DM37x Sitara Microprocessor.

am37x evm

• Features powerful AM/DM37x processor comprising of the advanced Superscalar ARM® Cortex™-A8 RISC core with NEON co-processing.

• Includes LCD Touch screen on board, Ethernet and WL1271 Wireless Connectivity card for Bluetooth and Wireless LAN

• Useful for building next generation wireless devices with faster user interfaces, faster data access and a robust evaluation environment.

Others boards we have worked for our projects are Freescale IMX-51 EVM, Devkit 8000, Zoom, Balze and Hawk board.
