Embedded Android Developer Toolkit for Ezurio Tungsten 700
Introduction¶
The MediaTek Genio 700 is a powerful and efficient System-on-Chip (SoC) designed for secure, connected edge AI devices. It efficiently integrates high-performance computing, advanced AI processing, and rich multimedia capabilities with robust security features. With its dual-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 and hexa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 it also balances power efficiency via the little A55 cores with the peak computing performance provided by the big A78 cores.
The Genio 700 is an excellent choice for a wide array of applications, including smart home devices, industrial automation, and smart retail solutions. It offers significant advantages through its dedicated AI accelerator: an integrated neural processing unit, delivering up to 3.7 TOPS, enabling advanced machine learning tasks directly at the edge. For visual applications, the Genio 700 features an integrated graphics processor for immersive 3D graphics powered by an Arm Mali-G57 MC3 GPU and dual display outputs supporting 4K30 plus 4K60 resolution, allowing for smartphone and tablet class UIs and 3D performance.
Tungsten 700 SMARC module is the new Ezurio's powerful, versatile, high performace embedded System on a Module (SoM) featuring Mediatek Genio 700 SoC.
SMARC (Smart Mobility Architecture) is a widely adopted standard for compact, low-power Computer-on-Modules (COMs). These modules integrate core computing functions like the CPU, memory, and graphics onto a small, standardized board. This design allows for modularity, where the SMARC module connects to an application-specific "carrier board" that handles the real-world I/O and specific interfaces required for your product. This separation simplifies design, accelerates development, and enables easier upgrades.
The Tungsten700 SMARC module is powered by MediaTek's Genio 700 processor and it adds the Sona™ MT320 Wi-Fi 6 / Bluetooth 5.4 radio, based on MediaTek's Filogic 320 (MT7921). High-performance LPDDR4 RAM ensures smooth multitasking and efficient data processing, while eMMC storage offers fast and reliable embedded storage
For over a decade, our strong partnership with Ezurio (formerly Boundary Devices) has been instrumental in delivering production-ready Android operating systems. Kynetics has proudly supported numerous Ezurio products, and now their Tungsten 700 SMARC SOM, enabling customers to confidently build and deploy their Android-based devices with long-term support.

Android Embedded Developer Toolkit¶
At Kynetics we are proud to support Ezurio Tungsten700 SMARC and its Universal Carrier board with our Embedded Android Developer Toolkit (EADT) — the ultimate software stack combining:
- Operating System
- Embedded SDK
- Over-the-Air software update
that allows Android Developers to bridge the gap between the familiar Android ecosystem and tooling, and navigate the intricate world of embedded hardware dependencies.

EADT is the fastest way to prototype your Embedded Android Application on the target hardware with all the benefits of the Android ecosystem.
Rapid iteration and validation is the key element. In embedded systems development, bringing up a complex OS like Android on new hardware is a significant, often time-consuming, expensive hurdle. EADT addresses this by providing a pre-optimized, ready-to-deploy Android stack for the specific target hardware. Developers can immediately focus on the application layer without the support of systems engineers addressing fundamental OS hardware integration issues.
The Embedded Android developer toolkit for the Tungsten 700 comes with a range of supported features:
- Serial console
- 2xUART
- USB gadget
- GPIOs
- 2xI2C
- 2xSPI
- HDMI Display
- 2xUSB host
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Ethernet
- Audio

Android Embedded SDK¶
The standard Android SDK features hardware abstraction for devices like WiFi, Bluetooth, Inertial Measurement Units (Acc, Gyro), and GNS, lacking support for critical I/O controls, bus management, and relevant protocols in embedded systems.
To overcome these limitations, Kynetics has created a suite of SDK for Embedded Development, offering additional tools while maintaining the benefits of your familiar development environment for Android Applications.
Kynetics' Embedded Android SDK are included in EADT to support configuration and control of all the following (when available in the hardware):
- GPIO
- PWM
- I2C
- SPI
- Serial RS-232/485
- CAN
- Ethernet
