Device manufacturers around the world are discovering Android is more than a new operating system for smartphones. Android can provide an excellent, integrated software platform for building all varieties of connected devices - multimedia, Mobile Internet Devices, digital video/home entertainment, automotive, medical, networking, instrumentation, and industrial control. However, Android was built for mobile handsets, initially running exclusively on processors designed for smartphones, with hard-coded assumptions like screen sizes, and handset-centric libraries and drivers. Mentor Graphics has created special training for developers building “non-phone” devices on the Android platform. Take a deep dive through the technical challenges and solutions, including: * Modifications to Android required for new devices * Custom emulation skins for devices * How to integrate C/C++ applications on an Android device * Looking at performance optimization from top to bottom * Building the right test suites to validate work throughout the product lifecycle
This expert training, specifically designed for engineers building leading-edge devices, is offered both on-site and at Mentor Training Centers worldwide.
