Android Things
Android Things (codenamed Brillo) is an Android-based embedded operating system platform by Google, announced at Google I/O 2015. It is aimed to be used with low-power and memory constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which are usually built from different MCU platforms.[1][2] As an IoT OS it is designed to work as low as 32–64 MB of RAM.[3] It will support Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi.[4] Along with Brillo, Google also introduced the Weave protocol, which these devices can use to communicate with other compatible devices.[5]
