Android OS is a mix of software stacks structured in a layered architecture - Application, Framework, Middleware, Services, libraries, HAL and kernel. Android is a middleware component runs on top of virtual machine, loosely coupled with HAL and kernel. This makes android porting easier for ODM’s to focus only on kernel and HAL for OS upgrade or OTA. We have specifically enabled Android for products in automotive domain.
