Android Things

" summary

Google positions Android Things as Brillo’s successor, restoring the full AOSP (Java framework, system services, binder IPC) after Brillo pared Android down to a native-only image (~50 MB) while Android Things grows images to a few hundred megabytes (still ~1/3 of stock AOSP). Sources are not public; binary images ship for Edison and select boards (Raspberry Pi build is limited because of no OTG shell). There is a Peripheral I/O HAL plus a C++ peripheral manager, an IOT launcher replacing the home app, and a workable path to use Greybus/tunneled MCU devices so an Android Things device can act as an IoT gateway.
