Ne10 Project Status and Linaro Android Project Discussion
Posted by – March 6, 2013
Category: Exclusive videos, Linaro Connect
Presented by Yang Zhang and Zach Pfeffer
1. Ne10 overview
2. update Ne10 status
* DSP module is added
* organization, test system and documentation are built
* image processing module is in process
* Image processing function is very useful for the android and iOS
APPs developers, because they aren’t good at NEON assembly coding so
that many new features can’t be implemented in APPs.
3. get feed back
* we expect getting more feedback about new APIs of Ne10
4. discuss the future of Ne10
* such as ARM v8, OpenCV, etc
5. Linaro Android Project Discussion

Karim Yaghmour Presents Embedded Android #1 – Android Internals
Posted by – March 4, 2013
Karim Yaghmour – CEO – Opersys inc. http://opersys.com
While Android has been created for mobile devices — phones first and now tablets — it can, nonetheless, be used as the basis of any touch-screen system, whether it be mobile or not. Essentially, Android is a custom-built embedded Linux distribution with a very elaborate and rich set of user-space abstractions, APIs, services and virtual machine. This four-part workshop is aimed at embedded developers wanting to build touch-based embedded systems using Android. It covers Android from the ground up, enabling developers to get a firm hold on the components that make up Android and how they need to be adapted to an embedded system.
Specifically, Karim starts by introducing Android’s overall architecture and then proceeds to peel Android’s layer one-by-one. First, he covers the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), the open source project under which Android’s source code is released. He then digs into the native Android user-space, Android’s power tools, and covers how hardware support is implemented in Android. Given that Android is built on top of Linux, he also goes over some embedded Linux tricks and sees how the kernel is modified to support the Android user-space. In addition, he looks at the System Server, the Android Framework and core Android applications, and how to customize them.
Check back for part 2, 3 and 4 to be filmed and posted once a day over the next 3 days, while I am video-blogging here at the Linaro Connect conference.

Here’s a 15 minute interview of me filmed by the Novacut guys using multiple high quality DSLR camera angles (you can watch it in 1080p!). I’m showing off some of the latest gadgets that I found in Shenzhen, I talk about why and how I video-blog from all the worlds consumer electronics trade shows since 2004, and I announce my next big feature on ARMdevices.net which is a $20/year Membership system to get access to buy all the best gadgets that I find at the trade shows all over the world, sourcing directly from the factories in Shenzhen and to get access to scans or pictures of the business cards of the people/distributors/suppliers that I video-interview (great for the buyers from around the world watching my videos and interested in having the best contact informations to the companies that I film). Look forward to the $20/year ARMdevices.net Membership system to be launched here in the days to come if I can find enough time to set it up while video-blogging here at Computex until June 10th.
