Tokyo, Japan. April 14, 2010 - eSOL Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Nakano-ku, Tokyo, President: Tsutomu Sawada,
henceforth eSOL) today announced eSOL for Android(TM) as a one-stop solution for embedded systems development using Android(TM), an open source platform from the Open Handset Alliance (OHA). eSOL
for Android consists of eSOL Adaptor for Android(TM), which enables Android to run on non-Linux OSes, and eSOL Professional Services for Android(TM), which offers technical services for Android-based software development.
As a result, eSOL for Android is expected to bring Android to a much wider
market beyond mobile phones.
eSOL has over 30 years' experience in the development of proven, high-quality
and highly reliable software for embedded systems like car navigation systems
and home electronics. In addition to embedded OSes, the company also provides
original development tools, middleware, and professional services for BSP
development for its own OSes as well as others such as Linux and Windows(R).
eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android is scheduled to be the first in a series of eSOL Adaptor for Android products.
eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android permits replacement of a Linux kernel with
the eSOL eT-Kernel OS, a high-performance, highly reliable POSIX- and TRON-conformant OS.
eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android is now under development for release in the
second quarter of CY2010. eSOL Professional Services for Android will offer
various optimization services based on the knowledge acquired through the
development of eSOL Adaptor for Android.
As the size of software programs required for embedded appliances such
as cell phones, other consumer electronics devices, and automotive infotainment
systems steadily increases, so does the pressure for improved development
efficiency. To remedy this situation, developers have been working for
years to improve software platforms. One result is Android. However, every
embedded system has its own specific requirements and the Linux kernel-based
Android will not fulfill them all, due to issues such as Linux licensing,
quality assurance, and lack of true real-time capability.
eSOL offers an alternative to this situation by providing eT-Kernel Adaptor
for Android, which replaces the Linux kernel with another OS, enabling
high performance and reliability, while at the same time ensuring efficiency
and reduced costs. In addition, eSOL Professional Services for Android
will ensure successful development of an optimized Android-based system.
eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android combines both the benefits of middleware-
and application-rich Android and the real-time eSOL eT-Kernel. eT-Kernel
Adaptor for Android provides the following benefits:
| * |
Real-time performance provided by eSOL eT-Kernel over Linux. |
| * |
Android applications that can be mixed with reliable and real-time applications for POSIX/µITRON and eSOL eT-Kernel. |
|
| * |
eSOL eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition Memory Partitioning, a system protection function for multi-core systems prevents the corruption
of memory between the kernel and different applications and ensures the
reliability of complex multi-core systems by separating real-time POSIX/TRON
sub-systems from Android sub-systems. |
|
|
|
| * |
A fully compatible Android application framework layer that permits the Android SDK to be used as usual. |
|
| * |
The eSOL eT-Kernel/POSIX profile of the multi-profiled eSOL eT-Kernel series, which is highly compatible
with Linux, and enables reuse of many Linux-based software assets. |

 |
| .1 The Software Architecture for eT-Kernel Adaptor for Android |
eSOL Professional Services for Android is not only available for eSOL eT-Kernel-based
Android systems, but also for a variety of different OSes, including Linux.
Optimization services offered include system-level Android components such
as Low Memory Killer, binder, libraries, HAL, and Android runtime customization,
plus porting of eSOL Adaptor for Android and BSP development.

About eT-Kernel
The eT-Kernel real-time OS is designed for embedded systems that require
high performance and reliability. eT-Kernel is scalable with multiple profiles
to fit any system size and purpose. These profiles include POSIX-compliant
eT-Kernel/POSIX, enhanced eT-Kernel/Extended supporting memory protection
and process model, and basic eT-Kernel/Compact. eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition
is available for multi-core processors featuring its unique Blended Scheduling(R)
that enables the coexistence of both symmetrical (SMP) and asymmetrical
(AMP) multi-core processing, in a single system. eT-Kernel has proved its
value in a wide range of embedded systems such as car navigation systems,
aerospace, consumer electronics, and more.

About eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition Memory Partitioning
eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition Memory Partitioning is a system protection
add-on for eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition providing multi-core systems with
the highest level of security. eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition Memory Partitioning
prevents individual applications with different levels of reliability and
kernel-level drivers from interfering with each other, resulting in protecting
memories of every application and even of the kernel. What's more, the
eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition Memory Partitioning has the unique ability
to permit these partitioned applications to talk to each other by means
of basic OS services like messaging and semaphore, thus creating an integrated
system that contains "separate yet blended" components.
