Brillo / Weave Internals
1 like868 views
This document discusses Brillo and Weave, Google's platform for IoT based on Android. It provides a brief history of embedded Linux, Android, and headless Android. It describes Brillo's architecture based on embedded Linux, Android, Binder, and system services. It outlines Brillo's source code layout and differences from Android. It also summarizes Brillo images, user space components, services/daemons like Weave, and provides an example use case. In closing, it notes Brillo may become a new standard for embedded Linux and represents a work in progress with a clear cloud component.

- 5. 5 1. A bit of history ● Embedded Linux ● Android ● Headless Android ● Brillo
- 6. 6 1.1. Embedded Linux ● A set of ad-hoc methods to package the Linux kernel with a (minimal) filesystem. ● FS content “to be determined” case-by-case ● APIs are specific to each device/build ● “Core software”: ● BusyBox ● U-Boot ● GNU Toolchain ● Your flavor of: ● glibc or uClibc or eglibc ● yocto or buildroot or eldk or ltib or ptxdist or ... ● No serious UX framework
- 7. 7 1.2. Android ● ... apart from its ubiquitous UX ... ● Fully-integrated IDE: Android Studio ● SDK/NDK ● ADB ● Fastboot ● Published, well-known, and very rich APIs ● A large and growing developer community ● And still we can use “embedded Linux” components: ● GNU toolchain, BusyBox, u- boot, glibc, ... An actual standardized dev. env. across all product lines
- 8. 8
- 10. 10 1.4. Brillo / Weave ● Google platform for IoT* ● Based on Android ● Announced at Google I/O 2015 ● Still not officially released ● Still under active development ● Need to sign up for developer preview on https://developers.google.com/brillo/ ● Sources available from android.googlesource.com ● Note: ● This talk based on sources ● This talk NOT based on developer preview or any information thereof :P * New, hip way of talking about “Embedded Systems”, something that's been around for ~50+ years.
