Developing Android™ applications for ARM® Cortex™-A8 Cores

 The flexibility, power, versatility and ubiquity of the Android operating system (OS) and associated ecosystem have been a boon to developers of applications for ARM processor cores. Historically, Android has been widely deployed in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Now, Android is expanding beyond its origins and migrating into a wider array of applications and products. products. TI’s OMAP™ processors provide a best-in-class foundation for Android designs in the mobile market today. In fact, TI’s OMAP4460 processor was selected as the platform for Android 4.0 development. But the mobile market is not the only space in which Android is fast expanding, which is why all TI platforms – OMAP, Sitara™ ARM processors, DaVinci™ video processors and C6000™ DSP+ARM processors – are moving into many other spaces outside mobile devices.
