Android Things Description
Android Things provides an opportunity to create devices on a reliable platform, even for those who lack prior experience in embedded system design: You can utilize the Android SDK and Android Studio for development, interact with hardware components like displays and cameras through the Android framework, and utilize the Android Things Console to deliver over-the-air updates for features and security. This platform allows developers to create applications on widely-used hardware systems such as the Raspberry Pi 3. Google's management of the Board Support Package (BSP) means that developers are free from the need to engage in kernel or firmware development. Through the Android Things Console, software images are constructed and sent to devices, ensuring a dependable development environment with regular updates and patches from Google. Consequently, developers can focus on innovation while relying on a robust framework that simplifies the process of building and maintaining their devices.
