Android(TM) from The Open Handset Alliance is expected to play a much bigger
role in the embedded world --- and blossom from a handset technology into
a mainstream operating system for a wide range of embedded systems. But
before that can happen, embedded developers need to overcome technical
and legal challenges similar to those they face with Android's underlying
Linux OS. These challenges include performance, boot-up time, real-time
response, GNU GPL, hidden costs of maintenance, and more.
eSOL for Android not only minimizes those issues, but also provides engineers with tested and proven components that can fully utilize Android technologies in complex embedded systems such as consumer electronics, in-vehicle multimedia systems, and any other embedded applications that require high performance and reliability.
eSOL for Android consists of eSOL Adaptor for Android --- adaptation software that replaces Linux with true embedded operating
systems --- and eSOL Professional Services for Android --- engineering services tailor-made for Android system development. |

eSOL for Android
|
eSOL for Android offers the following advantages:
- Faster real-time response and boot time
- Free Android from GNU GPL restrictions
- Higher system reliability with eSOL's proven eT-Kernel RTOS
- Highest level of security for embedded multi-core systems
- Co-existence of Android and eT-Kernel applications
- Quality support and services for a variety of operating systems

|
| eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android |
|
eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android enables Android's standard libraries, run-time,
application framework, and application software to run on the eT-Kernel
RTOS.
* eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android is expected to be available in the 2nd quarter of 2010.
|
|
 |
| Whatever your requirements, eSOL's eT-Kernel has them covered. It is available
in four profiles to fit any system size and purpose. Those four profiles
are also available for multi-core systems and include an option to protect
the overall system.

What you get from eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android:
| - |
From eT-Kernel --- proven reliability in mission-critical applications, real-time response such as fast-boot, and maximized security for multi-core based systems |
| - |
From Android --- abundant availability of applications and middleware |
| - |
The coexistence of native Android and eT-Kernel applications |

Coexistence and Memory Protection of Android and POSIX/µITRON Applications
With eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition Memory Partitioning, you can achieve the highest level of security --- the kind of security that prevents any kind of memory interference between different applications on any given core(s).
The following diagram shows how. POSIX/µITRON/T-Kernel real-time applications are assigned to Partition 1 and Partition 2, while the Android system and its applications are assigned to Partition 3. You can see that Memory Partitioning protects individual partition memories from interfering with each other, and even with kernel-level drivers. What's more, the eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition has the unique ability to permit these partitioned memories to talk to each other by means of basic OS services like messaging and semaphore --- thus creating an integrated system that contains "apart yet blended" components.

Android SDK
Android application programs and development tools provided in the Android SDK are fully compatible with eT-Kernel.
|
Reuse of Linux Software
eT-Kernel/POSIX makes all software programs --- commercial, open-source, or home-grown --- compatible with eT-Kernel.
