Wind River Systems
Android software development kit
Wind River has announced the availability of its commercial version of open-source Android optimised on the Omap 3 platform from Texas Instruments (TI).
The Wind River platform for Android is a validated, fully compliant software platform based on the latest versions of the Android software development kit (SDK), available with pre-integrated software from initial partners Adobe, Packetvideo and Red Bend Software.
It is the company's first commercial version of open consortia-based software and it is available with the following building blocks: open-source Android code validated and tested by Wind River; pre-integrated third-party software including existing Flash technology from Adobe, Opencore mobile multimedia software from Packetvideo, plus firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updating and device management software from Red Bend; enhanced Android user interface and personalisation options; extended framework and applications including master reset function, music player, performance and power management; Wind River global customer support and services; and optimisation for mobile hardware.
As part of a strategic, multi-year partnership, Wind River and Texas Instruments are working together to optimise Android on TI's Omap34x and Omap36x platforms.
Wind River is providing engineering resources around the world, including at its Korea Design Center, which has extensive Linux mobile phone expertise as part of the company's acquisition of MIZI Research in 2008.
Wind River's co-development work includes architecture, design, unit test, plus system test and integration support.
The Wind River Platform for Android reduces open source risk by providing predictability to and improving software quality for Android projects due to ongoing investment in the platform.
