* Android Platform Overview (1) Android A S/W stack for mobile devices developed and managed by OHA A free S/W under Apache License Operating System (Linux Kernel 2.6) Middleware Key Applications Android OHA (Open Handset Alliance) A business alliance consisting of 47 companies to develop open standards for mobile devices Android Software Stack Android S/W Stack – Linux Kernel Relying on Linux Kernel 2.6 for core system services Memory and Process Management Network Stack Driver Model Security Providing an abstraction layer between the H/W and the rest of the S/W stack Android S/W Stack – Linux Kernel (Cont) Kernel Enhancements Alarm Ashmem Binder Power Management Low Memory Killer Kernel Debugger Logger Android S/W Stack – Linux Kernel (Cont) Binder Driver to facilitate IPC between applications and services Problems of Linux IPC Applications and Services may run in separate processes but must communicate and share data IPC can introduce significant processing overhead and security hole Properties of Binder High performance through shared memory Per-process thread pool for processing requests Reference counting and mapping of object references across processes Synchronous calls between processes Android S/W Stack – Linux Kernel (Cont) Binder in Action A pool of threads is associated to each service application to process incoming IPC. Binder performs mapping of object between two processes. Binder uses an object reference as an address in a process’s memory space. Android S/W Stack – Linux Kernel (Cont) Power Management Problem Mobile devices depend on battery power and batteries have limited capacity. Properties of Power Management PM is built on top of standard Linux Power Management. PM supports more aggressive power management policy. Components make requests to keep the power on through “Wake Locks”. PM supports several different types of wake “Wake Locks”.
