Someone who felt like it could presumably use android features such as Dalvik, Binder, Intents, wakelocks etc - perhaps even the unmodified android sdk in an embedded system. However the system itself could not be standard android, because android is designed to give certain system-management-decision powers only to the live interacting user. Without a way to interface to a live, interacting user, you would have to design an alternate system management interface. And unless you do your real world I/O via the limited USB host capabilities in later android versions or something like bluetooth, you will probably need a lot of customizations to interface your headless embedded android to peripherals. Discussion of those customizations would be more appropriate on android-porting or even more specialized lists - especially if you are starting with an existing embedded style platform like a beagleboard, there may be specifically applicable discussion groups. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
