Thu, 27 Jan 2011 04:51:56 +0000 http://www.oesf.biz/modules/news/index.php?page=article&storyid=70 News Release http://www.oesf.biz/modules/news/index.php?page=article&storyid=69 Development environment for embedded systems evolved to be compatible with Android 2.2 ～Ultra-portable Android™ has been equipped, which makes integrated embedded devices possible much easier.～ General Incorporated Foundations Open Embedded Software Foundation (hereinafter called “OESF”; Location: Shinjuku-ward, Tokyo, Representative: MIURA Masataka), which promotes to spread and develop Android™ embedded systems, has developed an integrated- development environment compatible with Android 2.2 called “OESF Platform Builder “. Android™ is a software platform for smartphone, which Google Inc. developed. It has been released for free as open-source software and expected to increase its use in each area. However, Android™ is not structured to easily be diverted to various other embedded devices because it was specially made for smartphone. To load Android™ into embedded devices, developers are required in-depth knowledge when they customize it by understanding the interrelationships among each internal function, which became to be a barrier to developers. Development environment of Android™ software for embedded systems called “OESF Platform Builder “(hereinafter called “OBP”), which OESF has released this time, is compatible with Android 2.2 and thus, it is notable that it enables developers to build an environment without deeper knowledge on internal structure of Android™. In addition to that, OPB has adopted ultra-portable Android™ of “Light Weight Android™” (hereinafter called “LWA”). It is difficult to load general Android™ into embedded devices of small amount of memory without modification because general Android™ has larger program size incorporating many different functions and applications. If you select a functionality that you would like to add based on LWA, you can use minimum size of Android™ made up only by necessary functions. Therefore, Android™ can be also useful for many simpler embedded devices than a mobile phone. The development of OPB and LWA has done by OESF’s internal group of “System Core working group”, two of whose member companies of Atmark Techno, Inc (Location: Sapporo-city, Hokkaido, President: SANEYOSHI Tomohiro) and Something Precious, Inc. (Location: Sapporo-city, Hokkaido, CEO and President: KOGA Shinya) played the central roles of the development. OPB and LWA will be incorporated in the Android™ distribution of “OESF Embedded Master 3” for the third generation of embedded devices, which OESF released on 29 November 2010. ■ About General Incorporated Foundations Open Embedded Software Foundation; Members of the organization are the companies engaging in developing and building embedded systems based on Android™, which is an open-source project of Open Handset Alliance.
