In the year 2015, Google has unveiled the Project Brillo, an Android-based operating system for the Internet of Things (IoT). But probably the project has failed to grab the developer’s attention. On Tuesday Google made an announcement that they rebranded the Brillo into Android Things.

The company’s latest Internet of Things (IoT) is currently available as the developers preview. The search giant, Google has been vigorously expanding its Android platform to cover the range of smartphones. The newly implanted Android Things joins the Android family that includes Android Auto, Android TV and Android Wear.

Android Things combines Brillo with Google existing developer tools like Android SDK, Google Play Services, Android Cloud computing services and Android SDK. Through these services, users are allowed to build smart and connected products.

Google has claimed that with its new update will make developing a product much easier than with the case of Brillo. The company also promises to push out the Developers Preview updates so that developers can fix OS patches and security issues.

The company announced that its developer preview is offering ‘Turnkey’ support for Intel Edison, Raspberry Pi 3 and NXP Pico. Android Things will be able to connect the Android and iOS devices through Weave Platform.

Google has unveiled the Weave along with Brillo and it also gets updated to make it easier for the different devices to connect the cloud. Many companies are now trying to get IoT space which helps home solutions, connecting all the devices at once.

Currently, Google is developing the all new OS which is built to run on the Phones and the Desktops. This new Operating System is known as Fuchsia, which seems to be the complete unique project to the Android and Chrome OS.

The main purpose of developing this new Operating System is still remained unknown. On the Google’s Git repositories Fuchsia is described as Pink + Purple = Fuchsia (a new Operating System).

Google is building the OS from scratch, it uses the Magenta kernel for smartphones and desktops along with the LK kernel for the “tiny systems.” Each and every OS built and developed by the Google till date has one common thing.

All they are based on the Linux Kernel like Chrome OS, Chrome-casts, Android. Linux has powered Google hardware for many years. However this Magenta is designed to scale much better by enabling Magenta to work on the embedded devices, desktops and smartphones.

To make this happen, Magenta has to improve upon its Little Kernel base after adding the first class-mode support (Mandatory for the user accounts) and the capability-based security model (which will enable something like Android version 6.0’s permissions to work).

It’s all about just Kernel so far but what about the rest of the OS? Things seem like Google is using the flutter for the UI, as well as the Primary programming language. The decorating on the cake is Escher who is renderer which supports the light diffusion, soft shadows, and other visual effects, with OpenGL or Vulkan under the hood. Shadows and the subtle colour reflections are a key component of Material Design, so it seems Flutter and Escher could be designed for the Material Design User Interface in mind.

As we all know it has the support for the both 64-bit ARM CPUs and 32-bit which includes the 64-bit PCs. If the users have any technical skills and abilities, then you can even compile by themselves and run this on the real PC or any virtual machine.

One of the people from Google Travis Geiselbrecht even confirmed this would be available soon for the Raspberry Pi 3.
