As an embedded operating system, Android is becoming more and more popular. Embedded Android gives you all the benefits of embedded Linux, as well as a user-friendly interface and familiar programming environment. It’s used in various applications including testing and measurement, point of sale and automotive systems.
We find end customers looking to replace bespoke embedded graphical environments with Android systems, where graphics programmers do not need the same learning curve. As a superset of Linux, it offers considerable flexibility alongside familiar suites of applications.
When we develop these systems, customers often ask for bespoke permissions or modifications to the system beyond mere branding. Systems can be developed with custom built-in peripherals, to a form factor fitting the product.
We carefully plan our implementation process from the outset, considering key factors such as the product’s required environment, the expected operating conditions, and whether power optimisation should be prioritised. We also assess where the most challenging work lies and determine if performance research is needed before we begin.
Our team specialises in debugging these platforms using in-place tools, enabling us to identify and address any issues that arise during development quickly. Additionally, we have extensive experience working with MCU co-processors and collaborate closely with our clients to determine when their integration is necessary.
Don’t take our word for it, these are kind words from our customers
Our development team specialises in leveraging advanced technologies like AIDL, Das U-Boot and custom driver integration, to design and deliver customised systems tailored to meet the unique needs of clients across diverse markets.
While embedded C and C++ are our primary programming languages for these systems, we are also adept at integrating runtimes for other languages, such as AIDL and devicetree, ensuring flexibility and adaptability based on your specific requirements.

Android is built on the same Linux kernel that powers embedded Linux, sharing many of the same fundamental components such as drivers, memory management, and networking capabilities. However, Android introduces several key kernel modifications specifically designed to optimise it for mobile systems, enhancing its performance, power efficiency, and user experience on a wide range of devices.
