Hi All,
Their seems to be quite a bit of buzz around Android recently. As a result
we've kicked around the idea of porting Android to one of our boards, but it's
difficult to know if our customers would have any interest in Android. I think
the general consensus at TS regarding Android is it would be good from a
marketing standpoint, but not necessarily from an engineering standpoint.
Although, I'm really curios to know if we are on the same page as our
customers.
To my understanding the major benefit of Android is it raises the level of
abstraction of the hardware by providing a Java API. That is TS would have to
write JNI routines for all custom hardware. This higher level of abstraction
may be good from a productivity standpoint, although the higher level of
abstraction is also a negative(e.g. undeterministic garbage collection, more
resources required...).
We'd be interested to here what everyone thinks...?
Regards,
Eddie
