The embedded market just got a new option, with VIA announcing support for Google's Android operating system, starting with the EITX-3002 Em-ITX board. The Android operating system has become the most-used smartphone operating system and it also features on various tablet PCs, most of which run ARM processors. This new support for VIA's x86 platform opens the door for Android to be found on embedded computing devices like entertainment systems in vehicles and information 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."
