BEAGLE BONE BLACK FOR EMBEDDED APPLICATION

Happy news for embedded developers, with the introduction of BeagleBone Black credit card sized single board 1GHz computer.We can develop high end embedded system with Operating system support in the ARM7 platform.Processor from Texas Instruments AM335x Cortex A8 Sitara . Advantage of this small system is many more ,it will operate on 5V dc supply with 500 MA,so with USB cable connected to 5v source can operate the system.Most of the desktop computer features available with this board.As a standalone system keyboard and mouse can be connected with USB.Out put display available at micro HDMI port,that can be connected to any latest TV with HDMI input.LAN port is provided for network access.USB device(slave) port also available for connecting with PC,the board will act as storage device.Same time there is an internet pass-through via USB.For the starting of development some startup file provided in the eMMC (on board flash memmory 2GB),by opening the file it will direct to beagleb

ANDROID AND EMBEDDED SYSTEM

ANDROID Android is an intermediate platform software developed for Mobile hardware by Google lead OHA (open handset alliance).It is a layer of GUI and framework between core operating system Linux and java based application programme.Android provides libraries for easy application development.We can access almost all hardware units available in the Mobile hardware (GPS ,GPRS,WiFi,Bluetooth,Camera,Flash,Screen,Mic,Speaker,etc)with less programming struggle.Google released free Software Development Kit (SDK) with emulator for the application development and testing. 2005 Google announced Android 2007 OHA formed. 2008 T.Mobile G1 produced,           Android Market for Applications          Source code of Android is released. 2011 May -google Android made its first major/official deviation from the mobile only approach by comming   out  with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).custom made for Tablet devices.This aims to use Android system for non-mobile embedded devices.
