Unfragmenting embedded Linux platform offerings
*One Line Summary
Discussion around migrating specific Android tools and technology into other embedded Linux distros, to reduce fragmentation in the industry.
Abstract
Various bits of interesting technology have been developed by Google for it’s Android project, including host/target communication protocols, debug tools, eclipse extensions, and more. Although Android is quite distinct from other embedded Linux distributions, it has a number of good technologies that I believe would be worth integrating into other distros.
In this topic, I would like to discuss some of these technologies, along with the ramifications of trying to spread them outside their Android origins.
