Expert Android porting, BSP development, and AOSP customization services to create powerful, secure, and lightning-fast embedded Android devices.
Android is more than just a mobile operating system. It's a mature, feature-rich, and universally familiar platform. The Google powered OS offers a powerful foundation for a new generation of embedded devices—from automotive infotainment (IVI) systems and industrial HMIs to medical devices and smart retail kiosks.
However, harnessing this power is a complex endeavor. Porting Android to custom hardware, optimizing its performance, and ensuring its stability requires deep, specialized expertise. This is where a generic approach fails, expert engineering becomes critical and Embien steps in.
Embien is your trusted partner in navigating the complexities of embedded Android. Our dedicated team lives and breathes the Android stack, from the Linux kernel and bootloader all the way up to the application framework. We take the raw AOSP and meticulously mold it to your specific hardware, ensuring every component works in perfect harmony.
Our rich experience porting all versions of Android to industry-leading processor families — including NXP i.MX6/i.MX8/i.MX9, Renesas R-Car, TI Sitara, Qualcomm Snapdragon, Rockchip, and Allwinner — means we deliver faster, more reliable results.
Embien is the one point provider of Android related services. From selecting the right version to getting is certified, we offer the entire suite of services.
We develop a complete Board Support Package (BSP) to bring up any version of Android on your custom single or multi-core hardware platform.
We write and optimize the critical hardware abstraction layer, including GRALLOC (Graphics), HWCOMPOSER, Camera HAL, RIL (Radio), Sensor HAL, VHAL, etc.
We modify Android at every level—from custom system services and APIs to branded launchers and settings—to create a unique product experience.
Our specialized service to drastically reduce boot time, ensuring your device is responsive and ready for action in seconds offering real time user experience.
We implement robust security measures, including Secure Boot, custom SELinux policies, and regular CVE patching to protect your device and user data.
We guide you through the complex process of passing the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS/VTS) and achieving GMS certification for your device.
In many applications, a long boot time is unacceptable. Our engineers are masters of Android boot time reduction. We go far beyond surface-level tweaks, diving deep into the system to shave off every possible millisecond. Our Proven Results:
We transform AOSP into a platform that perfectly reflects your brand and meets your application's specific needs. Our customization services touch every layer of the Android system.
Our capabilities are not limited to the platform level. We provide value-added services across the entire Android ecosystem, including Android NDK development for high-performance native code and robust release management. We design reliable online/offline incremental OTA update solutions. Our solutions can update only the necessary component - Bootloader, Kernel, file system or a specific application.
We also develop custom applications that leverage the unique features of your hardware, providing a truly end-to-end development partnership. With in-depth understanding of the Full-Stack Android, our mobile app stands apart from the conventional app development companies.
Embien's Android development team has been working from the earliest Cupcake to the latest one. We have seen the evolution of AOSP code base and it gives out partner's unique advantages.
Our engineers are trained in secure development practices. We build security in from the ground up, with expertise in SELinux policy development, secure boot integration, and proactive CVE patching.
Optimization is not an afterthought; it's part of our core process. We analyze and tune performance at every level, from kernel schedulers to application threads and memory management.
We have deep, hands-on experience navigating the complexities of the Google Compatibility Test Suite (CTS), Vendor Test Suite (VTS), and Google Mobile Services (GMS) to ensure your device is stable and compatible.
We work as an extension of your team. Our agile methodology ensures you receive regular builds, clear progress reports, and have direct access to our engineering experts.
