Viosoft's Arriba Android Porting Kit (Arriba APK) is designed to help software developers and ODMs/OEMs overcome these challenges and to rapidly design and bring Android based products to market. It includes:
-A complete cross development environment, and a reference Linux kernel distribution to help the customers prepare their platforms for Android-readiness
-A port of Android to selected embedded platforms that the customers can use as a working reference, or a starting point that can be refined toward their final designs
-The Arriba debugger which provides visibility into all layers of the running Android system to help developers pinpoint difficult defect in C/C++ middleware or even kernel drivers
While Android is rapidly maturing and widely adopted, it is still relatively new technology. Viosoft believes that successful adoption of Android is very much dependent upon the vendor's ability to understand the elegance of its design, cope with its complexity, and assimilate collateral defects. As such, the Arriba APK is the ideal companion when one sets out to develop an Android-based design.
