Processor/SoC Family Adds Android Support
Imagination Technologies’ META multi-threaded processor family plus META-connected app platforms now includes support for the Google Android operating system (OS). The OS runs on the META Linux kernel and offers full symmetric multi-processor and hot-plug features. Android for META runs standard binary Android apps and features a specially-created port of the Dalvik Virtual Machine. In essence, META provides a scalable Android configuration using small and efficient processors as well as high-performance systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). As per Tony King-Smith, VP of marketing at Imagination, “By delivering support for the Android OS, which is rapidly becoming an industry standard for app development, we are now able to provide a complete META-based application platform solution.” We shall see. </p>
