The document presents a case study on the challenges and success of porting Android 4.4.4 to the PowerPC architecture for aerospace applications. Einfochips addressed various technical obstacles, including architecture differences and lack of documentation, to create an open, secure platform that benefits engine manufacturers and airlines by enhancing engine health management. This innovation allows for greater integration of Android in rugged aerospace environments, thereby improving operational efficiency and compliance.
World's 1st successful porting of Android 4.4.4 on a PowerPC architecture - for an engine health monitoring system in Aerospace
- 1. Case Study : Porting Android 4.4.4 on PowerPC
- 2. Introduction An Aircraft consists of many complex systems, including Flight controls, Landing gears, Engine and Power trains, Navigation controls, etc. designed with stringent & highest safety standards to endure harsh environmental conditions
- 3. Introduction Engine plays very crucial role both in terms of cost and safety of an aircraft……..!!!!!! Also, health of the engine directly impacts: • Efficiency of the aircraft • Profitability of the airliners
- 4. Introduction Thus, Engine Health Management (EHM) plays crucial role for maximum functions: • Manage Operation Costs • Enhance Safety • Preserve Value • Reduce Downtime • Operate at Peak Performance • Receive Regular Reports • Maintain Regulatory Compliance • Corrective/Preventive Action Alerts
- 5. Executive Summary Traditionally…. Engine Health management is being done by engine manufacturers…!!!!!!!! Engine manufacturer
- 6. Executive Summary Our customer, who is leading engine manufacturer,,, wanted to democratize it… !!! Customer
- 7. Executive Summary By providing access of engine data to other stakeholders Airlines OEMs Primes
- 8. Business Challenge To have access to engine data easily,, open source but secure platform is necessary…!!!!
- 9. Business Challenge Now, for open- secure platform … Android is the obvious choice..!!!!!!!!
- 10. Business Challenge PowerPC is most widely used architecture for rugged application like Aerospace
- 12. eInfochips Challenge Android is based on little endian architecture PowerPC is based on Big endian architecture
- 13. eInfochips Challenges No Documentation No tool chain available for PowerPC Requirement to modify scripts extensively Bugs discovered Mismatch in definition and declaration Missing function for Big-endian operations
- 14. eInfochips Success PowerPC (NXP T2081) Android KitKat 4.4.4 eInfochips overcame all the challenges and successfully ported Android on PowerPC eInfochips
- 15. eInfochips Solutions • Tool chain development for PowerPC platform • AOSP modifications for PowerPC platform • Android version 4.4.4 was ported with Dalvik in portable mode. • A total of 37 services were up and running. • It is headless Android with emulated UI in user space. • Tested prebuilt application for Ethernet interface. • Simultaneous connected devices to stream • Android Application development to test the porting activity
- 16. Customer Benefits The client was able to enter into a new horizon with android porting on PowerPC that makes aerospace industry to adapt Android for its rugged application. Customer eInfochips
