e-con Systems announces Android BSP targeting handhelds and industrial applications

The Android BSP and Stack is customized to support non-mobile peripherals & applications. e-con Systems has added necessary blocks in the HW abstraction layers of Android and has modified and developed necessary Android libraries to enable users access peripherals like the ADC, GPIOs, CAN controllers among others.

“Ideally Embedded and Industrial customers would like to have the features of Android and its market place applications at the same time, they also want the low level flexibility in directly accessing the low level peripheral devices such as RS232/RS485 serial ports, CAN Bus, GPIO pins, ADC, temperature and other sensors etc. Using the e-con BSP provided on top of the Alioth platform our customers will get access to a wider peripheral set that are not present in the base Android release. We believe that this will help many customers who are willing to use Android on Rugged handhelds and/or any industrial devices that require a display” said, Ashok Babu, President of e-con.
