Android Operating System
EMAC offers a preconfigured version of Android 2.1
for the PPC-E10. Android consists of a kernel based on the
Linux kernel, with middleware, libraries and APIs written in C and application software running on an application
framework which includes Java-compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony. Android uses the Dalvik virtual
machine with just-in-time compilation to run compiled Java code. Android has a large community of developers
writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality of the devices. Developers write primarily in a
customized version of Java. Note: Android requires significant resources in order to run. The PPC-E10 will run
Android but it will be sluggish.
