Why Android Things choose i.mx 7Dual Arm Architecture

[chandrasekharma]

Hi all,

I want to know some clarification related to "Android Things uses i.mx 7 dual arm architecture".

Q1 : Why google choose/developed Android Things in especially i.mx7 Dual platform why not other platform like i.mx8, i.mx7S, i.mx6Quad, i.mx6Dual and more. Any specific reason to choose i.mx7Dual?

Q2 : Can we get Android Things Development Source code or patches designed for i.mx7Dual platform from any source not pre-built images?

Q3 : From which android AOSP base version like (Ginger Bread or Sandwitch or Kitkat or Lollipop) Android Things Development Source code developed  in imx7Dual platform?

Thanks,

M.CHANDRASEKHAR

Hi CHANDRASEKHAR,

Have you found any way to port Android Things on other iMX7 processors?
