VIA offers Android Support for Embedded x86 Boards
VIA Technologies has announced Android support for VIA x86 embedded platforms, starting with support for the VIA EITX-3002 Em-ITX board. The VIA EITX-3002 is based on Em-ITX form factor, and is powered by a choice of a 1.2GHz VIA Nano X2 E-Series or 1.0GHz VIA Eden X2 dual core processor in combination with the VIA VX900 MSP. Placed on the reverse side of the board, the available real estate is optimized, facilitating simple fanless chassis designs.
In addition VIA has released SMART ETK, an Embedded Tool Kit which allows monitoring and control of peripheral devices through the Android OS, allowing for greater environmental control of kiosk and other installed environments.
Epan Wu, Head, VIA Embedded Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc said, "VIA has a long history of offering a wide range of options and customized solutions for our embedded customers. The addition of Android OS support to our embedded x86 boards adds increased flexibility and further broadens our ability to meet their needs."
