Ezurio + Kynetics in Partnership

Android BSPs and OTA Tools for Ezurio SOMs

Kynetics is a trusted Ezurio partner and providing Android BSPs for evaluation, development, and production-ready deployments across Ezurio System-on-Modules (SOMs) and Single Board Computers (SBCs). Ezurio is now providing Android software by Kynetics for our Nitrogen 95 SMARC and Carbon AM67 OSM SOM, with more products supported in the future. From Embedded Android, OTA updates, and Fleet Management Platform, Kynetics' solutions simplify development and long-term support. Whether you're validating SoC performance, building a proof of concept, or preparing for product launch, Kynetics helps you get to market faster with less risk.

Why Kynetics?

Choosing the right Android version for your SOM or single board computer (SBC) depends on several factors. Kynetics’ Embedded Android Developer Toolkit (EADT) brings Android 15 support and powerful embedded development tools to Ezurio’s SMARC SOM families, including those based on NXP i.MX 8, i.MX 9, and MediaTek Genio processors.

Broad Android Support

For NXP i.MX 8, i.MX 9, and MediaTek Genio processors.

Pre-Validated OS Stacks

For fast evaluation and prototyping, including Android 15.

Embedded SDKs

For accessing industrial I/O interfaces and protocols directly from your Android code.

OTA & Fleet Management

Integrated tools for remote updates and full device lifecycle control.

Three Development Stages, One Simple Path

1. Evaluation OS Binary

Ezurio provides an initial Android BSP that boots successfully on the target board, ideal for hardware engineers to test key SoC functions like GPU and display performance.
Kynetics extends this with their Evaluation OS, which also includes built-in applications to test I/O capabilities such as CAN, Serial, GPIO, and more, laying a hardware foundation before Android app development begins.

Binaries are currently available for our Nitrogen95 SMARC and Carbon AM67 OSM-SOM, with more to be supported in the future.

2. Embedded Android Developer Toolkit (EADT)

The fastest way to prototype and deploy embedded Android applications.

Kynetics’ EADT includes:

A fully-featured Android OS optimized for Ezurio hardware.
An intuitive SDK to bridge high-level Android development with low-level hardware access.
Integrated OTA update and fleet management for scalable deployment.

With EADT, Android developers can build and test applications with Android Studio while seamlessly accessing GPIOs, I2C, SPI, CAN, and more. No need to master embedded kernel development.

3. Custom OS for Production

Once your concept is proven, you can work directly with Kynetics to design a Custom Android OS tailored to your final product, including carrier board modifications, new hardware support, security enhancements, and product lifecycle management. This ensures a consistent and secure platform that meets your production and deployment needs. If you're ready for full source code development, contact us to request source code access.
