Android Platforms Specialists

Bringing Android products to life.

Android Systems

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.

Android Embedded Development Process

Embedded Development for Android Devices

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.

The Bermondsey Electronics team investigated all the options and understood the complexity of our problem and how dangerous it was for our workforce. We’d already tried to have our product fixed many times and our other providers had deemed it unfixable. Their solution enabled us to finally fix the product and as a bonus, they also reduced the time requirement, cost and complexity of installation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Android Platforms

Is Android an embedded Linux OS?

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.

Languages used in Android development include: 

  • Kotlin
  • Java
  • C/C++
  • C#
  • Python
  • AIDL
  • Devicetree

Android has many benefits for embedded systems, including:

  • Intuitive and user-friendly interface
  • Proven operating system
  • Consistent and familiar programming environment
  • Advanced tools for efficient debugging and development
  • Fully customisable to suit your specific requirements
  • Strong support network from chip vendors
