AMD support Android porting PC, Intel against Google
A developer from Taiwan have been developed for x86 devices open source Google Android Ice Cream, and stressed mainly for PC applications.
Chih-Wei Huang led a Android-x86 development team,Nike Air Max medvind Læder sorte sko, but this is not the official Google Android open-source projects (Android Open Source Project, AOSP) part. Meanwhile, Huang's development team is to get Intel (Intel) are the sworn enemy - - AMD (AMD) support.
Although as of now, Intel and AMD in the smart phone or tablet market are not significant gains, but Intel's mobile market has been hard work, and plans to launch more in the first half of 2012 Atom version of the smart phones and more business-oriented Tablet PC.
Intel has spent a year and a half working with Google, the Android operating system ported to x86 platforms. Is the first portable version of the Android 2.3.7 version (Gingerbread), Intel's director of Google Program Office is responsible for Alec Gefrides said the company already offers 120 patches (patches) to Google, and has been fully integrated into the original program code In AOSP the free of charge.
Intel said the new version will also provide the same Ice Cream Sandwich code support.
"Our partnership with Google for a very long time," Gefrides said, however, Intel's goal is to target smart phones and tablet PCs rather than the PC, therefore,Christian Louboutin peep-Dame 150mm chaussures rougesvente au rabais, we must make the past different drivers can operate smoothly.
"If you get the x86 version of the Android AOSP and began to compile, then theoretically it should be able to run on any x86 device, but this is not our only goal, or Google," Gefrides said. Our focus is to enable more use of mobile phones and tablet PCs Atom processor, and run the Android operating system. This is what we have been working for, and Google is the focus of cooperation.
"In Huang's case, he is ready to buy a laptop from AOSP download Android and try to compile, of course, this is the implementation of the x86 architecture, because architecture is the same, but were not able to support PC The complete driver, "Gefrides explained.
Intel will usually provide full support to the OEM kit, the OEM can use reference design to develop products, which will contain all the required drivers. Without these drivers, some parts will not work. "We can provide a complete driver,Nike Zoom Kobe VI Sort Varsity Rød Hvid, but this is not our focus,Nike Air Max 90 hvid Varsity Red Shoes," he said.
All signed an agreement with Google or group of companies said they will put development efforts back to the company's open-source project, to avoid splitting the case. Intel has signed an agreement with Google. However, AMD does not.
Huang's development efforts has not been authorized to submit to Google, and integrated into a wider range of the Android open source, and therefore, this move will also enable the industry to worry about a split.
Huang said, AMD it provides a great support, including donations of equipment and engineering support. He also complained that Intel will not support his actions Android ported to the PC.
"Intel has refused to provide any help on this project and they closed all the contact I have tried the window," Huang said. He also said he intends to follow the best developers in the AMD platform, using his code.
An Intel spokesman for the "EE Times" said the company will not want to have to split the Android platform, on the contrary, Intel hopes to support Google Android applications the ability to play the best target. Intel is also very clear that the company's main purpose is to operate smoothly on Android in the Atom.
"We are very pleased to see the shape of an open-source community, we have already started the project for the design of many people excited," Gefrides said. But he also pointed out that the project not being included in the AOSP, so it does not mean anything, is only an unofficial test fills.
When asked if Intel is considered the work of Huang's portable PC applications smoothly expanded, Gefrides said that who can not be predicted. "Who would know that Android will be successful on the PC?" He also reminded, Google already for a small laptop (netbooks) launched the Chrome OS.
In addition, Gefrides also pointed out that as Google's Android development team is relatively small, so it aimed to launch a flagship phone every six months, the industry, other chip or device manufacturers have their own battery life on the efficiency or the demands of the most Best of the operating system.
"The most challenging part is to have enough bandwidth to offer all our development efforts into the program code, and now,Hogan scarpe donna in pelle 525 nera, this work has been largely in place, our focus has shifted to how to make entire mobile operation more quickly, more smoothly, "Gefrides said.
Obviously, Intel has several teams during the development of Android, Gefrides that the total number of over 1000 developers. "I can only say that the company really strong investment," he pointed out that these development teams across many different fields, from the Google TV to smart phones, tablet PCs, drivers, etc.,HongKong Fashion Phosphor Frauen MBT Kisumu 2 Sandale - 015, have their own dedicated development team constantly strive.
Although Android is the most popular on the market operating system, but Gefrides said Intel operating system of choice is wide, the company supports many different operating systems.
"In Lunix on the basis of the driver are the same. Focus on the best of them, we have built support for Linux," he said, Intel has been committed to promoting open source and Linux development environment.
Both Intel and Google, all that open source should be transparent, however, the applications, which areas still need to use the Android open to question.
"If you say that Android developers are completely open source project scope,Nike Air Max 90 Black brune sko, then indeed, Android should be able to perform in any kind of device, from PC to smart phones to toasters should be included," an Android expert cum-commentator RusselL Holly said.
However, Holly is also noted that the focus is the operating system ported to these devices are actually meaningless.
"Android for some of the devices with large touch screens to bring good experience," he said, as some of the All-in-One PC. "For many electronic products, it would be very attractive option, but stand-alone PC, I do not think it is worth it,Nike Free Run sko Sort Rød," he said.
On the other hand, Holly also said that although the future is likely to be divisive,Nike Dunk Heels Høj brun hvid, but there must be more people want to try.
"If AMD's participation in the Android open source project, it will be able to avoid splitting; sharing and feedback if they do not work, then it is likely to split the case is really played," he said.
"If they do not share, that is, breach of the open source mind. Used to construct a number of open source code is not open,Nike LunarGlide 2 løbesko Sort Rød, in fact, means to split."
AMD's EE Times has yet to respond to interview requests.
