2-3:50PM Section I: Android Tech Seminar - Embedded and System Level: Beyond Mobile App

2.00PM Introduction
2:05PM Opening Remark and Overview of Android Development overview for non-mobile devices.
2:20PM Developing Native ARM Code using the Android NDK
The Android NDK is a companion tool to the Android SDK that lets Android application developers build performance-critical portions of their apps in ARM native code. By using the NDK developers are quickly bringing existing C/C++ applications to the Android platform and optimizing them using the latest features of the ARM Architecture. This presentation provides an introduction to the Android NDK covering usage, setup and developing code.

Rod Crawford is a Principal Software Engineer at ARM working in the area of mobile Web 2.0 technologies. During his 15+ years with the company he has spearheaded many embedded software initiatives including the creation of ARM's first commercial software toolkit, OS optimization for ARM, high performance implementation of Java on ARM, and even an ARM Web portal and Blog for developers. Prior to ARM, Rod has spent extensive time in the embedded software industry developing software tools for the 8 and 16bit microcontroller market and creating extensive ISV communities.

3PM-3:30PM Fireside talk: Android App for non-mobile devices

3:30-4:20PM Android and Linux for Embedded Systems Acceleration
Android is used to create a broad range of devices, from eBooks to home appliances. This sessions looks at the benefits of using Android and how to get the best out of it, including developing a multi-core design.
Audience level: Intermediate
Prerequisites: None required
Presentation Abstract
This session explores the design of the Android open source platform, how it works, and how to deploy it to accelerate the development of connected devices. The session shows how to get started with Android, the Android SDK, available tools and resources, plus applications for Android beyond mobile handsets such as medical devices, consumer electronics and military/aerospace systems. We'll also review how Android or Linux can co-exist with an RTOS for multi-core designs.

3:30-4:20PM Developing for the Plug Computer and Android (Another room)
Key Takeaways
The attendees will learn about the Android market for Marvell’s open source offerings and the basics for developing new applications and services for the consumer market.
Audience level: Introductory
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of the ARM instruction set.
Presentation Abstract
The time has come – consumers expect always-on, always connected, dynamic experiences with live content, instant access to internet databases, and new dedicated online applications – anywhere, anytime and in any size. Equipped with the Marvell ARMADA 300 processor, Plug Computers offer 2 GHz of processing performance yet maintains a markedly low-power footprint – making Plug Computers more powerful, eco-friendly and efficient to enable development of plug ‘n’ play next generation consumer devices with zero configuration. Explore various market opportunities and share information about the Android market. With the Plug Computer, developers can embed and develop software and apps on Android for new intuitive, consumer experiences: as well as a command post for the smart home.
