Unleash the Power of Embedded Android: The Embedded Android Developer Toolkit¶

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, bringing innovative embedded products to market demands a robust, flexible, and developer-friendly operating system. Well, this of course during the development of your POC before switching into a secure production environment.

Traditional embedded development often presents a steep learning curve, requiring specialized knowledge of low-level hardware interactions. This is where the Kynetics Embedded Android Developer Toolkit emerges as a game-changer, transforming the complexities of embedded systems into an accessible and powerful development environment for any Android mobile software engineer. Contact us or fill our product information form to know more about the Embedded Android Developer Toolkit or any product part of our Android product development pipeline.

The Kynetics Embedded Android Developer Toolkit is not just an operating system; it's a comprehensive, full software stack, easy to install, meticulously engineered to empower active development on fully enabled hardware capabilities on your target board. It bridges the gap between the familiar Android ecosystem and the intricate world of embedded hardware, allowing developers to unlock the full potential of their embedded projects with unprecedented ease and control.

At its core, the Developer Toolkit provides a fully featured Android OS, meticulously optimized for a wide range of popular application processors and embedded systems. Unlike generic evaluation images, this toolkit is designed for serious development, offering a complete, unbridled experience of Android on the supported embedded hardware. It ensures seamless integration across all levels, from the foundational bootloader and kernel to the user space, providing a unified and stable platform for your applications. Yes, developers can now lead the hardware selection and boost their productivity on an embedded system by focusing only on the application layer.

One of the most significant distinguishing features of the Kynetics Embedded Android Developer Toolkit is its Embedded Android SDK. This SDK is the key to unlocking true hardware control. While standard Android SDKs typically abstract away most hardware interactions, Kynetics' Embedded SDK grants developers complete control over their target module's buses and I/O. Imagine effortlessly controlling GPIOs (General Purpose Input/Output), PWMs (Pulse Width Modulation), Serial ports (RS-232/485), CANBus, I2C, and SPI interfaces directly from your Android code.

This means that every Android developer can now truly become an embedded developer, integrating their high-level application logic with low-level hardware functionalities without needing to master complex embedded programming paradigms. The toolkit provides the necessary tools and resources to build feature-rich embedded Android applications, integrating code with the underlying hardware through the powerful abstraction that Android developers love the most.

Beyond direct hardware control, the Developer Toolkit boasts integrated Over-The-Air (OTA) functionalities, powered by the robust Update Factory platform. This critical feature enables developers to perform remote application deployment testing, streamlining the iteration process and significantly reducing development cycles. Furthermore, it ensures that your development boards can receive Kynetics OS security updates or even custom OS updates with Kynetics' premium professional support. This proactive update mechanism is vital for maintaining security, stability, and introducing new features throughout the product's lifecycle, even during the development phase.

The following tables specifically highlight the distinction between our Evaluation OSes and the Embedded Android Developer Toolkit:

Feature	Evaluation OS	Developer Toolkit
Connectivity and Display Support	Yes	Yes
ADB and APKs Installation	Yes	Yes
Embedded SDK	No	Yes
Off-the-shelves H/W support	No	Yes
OTA and Security Updates	No	Yes
Rooted OS	No	Yes
Professional Support	No	Yes

While both offer connectivity, display support and enable ADB (Android Debug Bridge) for APK installation, which are absolutely crucial to evaluate the initial performance of the underlying hardware, the Developer Toolkit uniquely provides broader off-the-shelves hardware support, Embedded SDK and OTA Updates capabilities. This underscores its purpose as a dedicated solution for in-depth development rather than just an initial evaluation tool.
