“As Android continues to gain traction as a popular operating system in the Internet of Things ecosystem, it’s important to make deploying Android for embedded devices as simple as possible for systems builders,” said Mike Carboni, director, Software Development, Product Enabling & Development for the Intel Internet of Things Group. “The combination of technology and support from Insyde Software and the Intel® Atom™ processor Z3735F/G will help make that goal a reality.”
