Pipo Max-M9, RK3188 28nm HKMG Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 Tablet
Posted by – March 10, 2013
Rockchip RK3188 is arriving on the market! This is the first RK3188 Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 on GLOBALFOUNDRIES 28nm HKMG process Tablet that I have yet seen on the Shenzhen Huaqiangbei market. Pipo just released it today on the Chinese Tablet market. You can also watch my RK3188 video interview with Rockchip here. The price thus far is 1200rmb ($193) if you’re in Shenzhen on the Huaqiangbei market there. Pipo plans to release RK3188 with different screen sizes, perhaps 7″, 8″, 9.4″ (first time I see that size) and 9.7″ Retina also.
You can find the contact informations for Pipo here:

iOS and Windows apps to soon run on Android?
Posted by – March 9, 2013

Check out my 41-minute video with Bernhard Rosenkränzer, Android engineer at Linaro, where he explains how iOS, Windows Phone/RT/8 and full Linux apps can soon run on Android. He shows off how GCC/LLVM/Clang now runs on Android, allowing developers to develop and compile code directly on Android. Soon, perhaps as 64bit ARMv8 devices reach the market by next year, developers won’t need an x86 Laptop machine to develop for/on Android. Compile a new Android and reboot into it, all within Android itself. He explains how Google and the open source Android project is using Linaro code to optimize and speed up Android Linux on all ARM devices. Here‘s the video that I filmed last year that got him to win the “Online Superstar” award at Linaro Connect 2013.
ARM Chromebooks at Linaro Connect 2013

Riku Voipio of Linaro, Andrew Wafaa of ARM, Olof Johannson of Google, Sonny Rao of Google and Marcin Juszkiewicz of Linaro talk about hacking and using the full performance of the ARM Powered Samsung Chromebook to run Ubuntu, Debian, Open Suse on this ARM Powered laptop, talking about how much the Mali-T604 is being used in this ARM Powered Chrome OS, which feature improvements the ARM Powered Chromebook may get to possibly improve battery life, and a bit about the possibility of running Chromium OS or Chrome OS on older/cheaper ARM Powered laptops such as ARM Cortex-A9 and previous.
Karim Yaghmour Presents Embedded Android #2 – Working with the AOSP
Posted by – March 6, 2013
Presented by Karim Yaghmour, CEO of Opersys Inc.
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 will cover 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 tarts 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.

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

ARM demonstrates GPU Computing on the new ARM Mali-T604 GPU, rendering graphical features, filters, encoding, processing certain things much faster and using much less power by processing those things on the GPU instead of on the CPU.
ARM Mali-T604 Graphics performance beyond 1080p

Category: Tablets, Laptops, Smartphones, Gaming, Development Boards, Exclusive videos, Samsung, MWC, ARM, Android
ARM runs the Epic Citadel benchmark at 55fps at 2560×1600 (4 megapixels = 2x 1080p) on the Mali-T604 while on Intel’s latest mobile platform, that same benchmark runs 10fps slower at a resolution of only 1280×720 (less than 4x lower resolution?). ARM also shows the improvements when using the Mali-T604 with Open GL ES 3.0 which hopefully is soon going to be added in Android, providing higher quality 3D graphics features.
