Android and VIA, sitting in a tree.... Just kidding. But, the truth of the matter is this: VIA
has just announced Android support for their embedded x86 boards.
They're starting off with support for the VIA EITX-3002 Em-ITX board.
Running Android on an x86 platform offers increased flexibility, great
multimedia support and cost saving advantages for embedded applications
such as in-vehicle entertainment and interactive kiosks. Key advantages
for Android on x86 include leverage of Android development resources and
existing apps, rich I/O flexibility, greater CPU
performance as well as higher display resolutions of up to 1920 x 1080.
In addition VIA has released SMART ETK, an Embedded Tool Kit which
allows monitoring and control of peripheral devices through the Android
OS, allowing for greater environmental control of kiosk and other
installed environments. Looking for a demo? It's below.
