SHR (operating system) The current unstable and testing release is for Openmoko's Neo 1973 and FreeRunner, both having an ARM architecture. At the moment SHR Core is being ported to Nexus S, GTA04 and Nokia N900 devices. The following software packages are shipped and pre-installed by default: Bada. Bada (stylized as bada; Korean: 바다) was an operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. It was developed by Samsung Electronics. Its name is derived from "바다 (bada)", meaning "ocean" or "sea" in Korean. It ranges from mid- to high-end smartphones.[3] To foster adoption of Bada OS, since 2011 Samsung reportedly has considered releasing the source code under an open-source license, and expanding device support to include Smart TVs.[4] Samsung announced in June 2012 intentions to merge Bada into the Tizen project,[5][6] but would meanwhile use its own Bada operating system, in parallel with Google Android OS and Microsoft Windows Phone, for its smartphones.
All Bada-powered devices are branded under the Wave name, but not all of Samsung's Android-powered devices are branded under the name Galaxy. History[edit] Bada and the mobile software distributions it is related with. In August 2011, Samsung released version 2.0 of the SDK. Versions[edit] Samsung Apps[edit] OpenZaurus. OpenZaurus is a defunct embedded operating system for the Sharp Zaurus personal mobile tool PDA. History[edit] The OpenZaurus project was revamped completely, becoming Debian-based built from source, from the ground up.
Due to the change in direction, OpenZaurus became quite similar to other embedded Debian-based distributions, such as Familiar for the iPAQ. OpenZaurus, in its current form, facilitates an easy method for users to build their own custom images. The efforts of Openzaurus, along with other embedded Linux projects, were integrated into the OpenEmbedded Project, which now provides the common framework for these projects. Variants[edit] In addition to building a custom OpenZaurus image using OpenEmbedded metadata, The OpenZaurus distribution can be acquired in three variations for each version release. Status[edit] On April 26, 2007, it was announced[1] that the OpenZaurus project was over. See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Openmoko Linux. For the project that includes both hardware and software development, see Openmoko. Openmoko Linux is an operating system for smartphones developed by the Openmoko project.
It is based on the Ångström distribution, comprising various pieces of free software.[1] The main targets of Openmoko Linux were the Openmoko Neo 1973 and the Neo FreeRunner. Furthermore there were efforts to port the system to other mobile phones.[2] Components[edit] See also[edit] List of free and open source Android applications References[edit] External links[edit] Official website. Firefox OS. History[edit] Firefox OS was publicly demonstrated in February 2012, on Android-compatible smartphones.[15][16] By December 16, 2014, fourteen operators in 28 countries throughout the world offered Firefox OS phones.[17] In January 2016 Mozilla announced that Firefox OS would power Panasonic's UHD TVs (as previously announced Firefox OS "would pivot to connected devices").[21] In September 2016 Mozilla announced that work on Firefox OS had ceased, and that all B2G-related code would be removed from mozilla-central.[22] Project inception and roll-out[edit] Commencement of project[edit] This led to much blog coverage.[23][24] According to Ars Technica, "Mozilla says that B2G is motivated by a desire to demonstrate that the standards-based open Web has the potential to be a competitive alternative to the existing single-vendor application development stacks offered by the dominant mobile operating systems.
Jan Jongboom at the Simonyi Conference - 2014 Development history[edit] Gonk[edit] Sailfish OS. Software architecture[edit] The architecture is: Hardware Sailfish OS is designed to run on embedded environments,[3] such as phones and tablets. Kernel Sailfish OS makes use of the Linux kernel[5] with some modifications.[6] Core Components UI and middlewareApplications Wayland (display server protocol) in Sailfish OS[edit] Sailfish OS SDK[edit] The Sailfish OS SDK was announced in Helsinki at Slush in 2012, and the alpha published in February 2013. The Sailfish OS SDK uses Qt with virtual box for development, compiling and emulation purposes. Jolla says that as development with Sailfish SDK is development on Sailfish OS itself, there are no differences between developed software appearance and behaviour in SDK and on end-user machine with Sailfish OS.
The open source nature of SDK allows to shape and rebuild it for particular and specific needs of any company or any organisation or any group of developers or an advanced developer, what allows to create context specific environment. Tizen. The Tizen Association was formed to guide the industry role of Tizen, including requirements gathering, identifying and facilitating service models, and overall industry marketing and education.[5] Members of the Tizen Association represent every major sector of the mobility industry and every region of the world. Current members include telecommunications network operators, OEMs and manufacturers: Fujitsu, Huawei, Intel, KT Corporation, NEC Casio Mobile Communications, NTT DoCoMo, Orange S.A., Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung, SK Telecom, Sprint Corporation and Vodafone.[6] While the Tizen Association decides what needs to be done in Tizen, the Technical Steering Group determines what code is actually incorporated into the operating system to accomplish those goals.
Tizen roots back to the Samsung Linux Platform (SLP) and the LiMo Project and in 2013 Samsung merged its homegrown Bada project into Tizen.[7] System architecture[edit] Overview[edit] Open environment[edit] MeeGo. MeeGo was a Linux-based free mobile operating system project resulting from the fusion of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo operating systems.[1] Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo was designed to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as netbooks, entry-level desktops, nettops, tablet computers, mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, SmartTV / ConnectedTV, IPTV-boxes, smart phones, and other embedded systems.[2] MeeGo is currently hosted by the Linux Foundation.[3] History[edit] MeeGo was first announced at Mobile World Congress in February 2010 by Intel and Nokia in a joint press conference.
The stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project. Overview[edit] System requirements[edit] User interfaces[edit] Screenshot of MeeGo’s Netbook UX Netbook[edit] Handset[edit] Handset UX from MeeGo 1.1 "Day 1" Moblin. Moblin, short for 'mobile Linux', was an open source operating system and application stack for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), netbooks, nettops and embedded devices.[1] It first merged with the Maemo effort and then both were integrated with the MeeGo project. Nokia stopped all MeeGo development after switching to Windows Phone.
Intel discontinued work on MeeGo using Tizen instead. After the MeeGo project was scrapped, a group of people left Nokia and formed their own company, Jolla OY. Jolla is currently developing the successor of MeeGo, Sailfish OS. Built around the Intel Atom processor, all builds were designed to minimize boot times and power consumption as a netbook and MID-centric operating system. Few commercial products existed around Moblin 2 most prominently a Foxconn netbook[7] and an InvenTech smartphone,[8] both announced at Computex 2009. At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2010, MSI and Novell announced SUSE Moblin preloaded on the MSI U135 netbook. Maemo. Maemo is a software platform developed by Nokia and then handed over to Hildon Foundation for smartphones and Internet tablets.[2] It is based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. The platform comprises the Maemo operating system and the Maemo SDK. The user interface in Maemo 4 is similar to many hand-held interfaces, and features a "home" screen, which acts as a central point from which all applications and settings are accessed.
The home screen is divided into areas for launching applications, a menu bar, and a large customizable area that can display information such as an RSS reader, Internet radio player, and Google search box. The Maemo 5 user interface is slightly different; the menu bar and info area are consolidated to the top of the display, and the four desktops can be customized with shortcuts and widgets. At the Mobile World Congress in February 2010, it was announced that the Maemo project would be merging with Moblin to create the MeeGo mobile software platform.
Internet. WebOS. WebOS also known as LG webOS, Open webOS or HP webOS, is a Linux kernel-based operating system for smart TVs,[1] and formerly a mobile operating system.[2] Initially developed by Palm, which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard, the operating system was later sold to LG Electronics. Through all iterations of the operating system (Palm, HP and now LG) the official name has been consistently stylized as webOS (lowercase 'w').[3][note 1] Palm launched WebOS in January 2009, then called Palm WebOS. Various versions of WebOS have been featured on several devices, including Pre, Pixi, and Veer phones and the HP TouchPad tablet. The latest version, 3.0.5, was released on January 12, 2012. After abandoning the TouchPad and the proposed sale of the HP Personal Systems Group, HP made the platform open source, and it became Open WebOS. Code specific to the existing devices was released as WebOS Community Edition (CE), with support for the existing HP hardware.
Background[edit] Palm webOS logo. Replicant (operating system) An example of phone information in Replicant, including a brief hardware description The software that was in charge of handling the communication with the modem (which is called Radio Interface Layer – RIL) was then replaced by free code, thus making the telephony part usable. A library handling the GPS was then adapted from free code that was originally written for another phone and permitted the HTC Dream to have GPS working with Replicant.[13] Early versions of Replicant were based on the Android Open Source Project code, while versions 2.2 (April 2011) and later use CyanogenMod as their base, in order to make supporting more devices easier.[14][15] As development continued, many members of the original Replicant team retired from the project, making Denis "GNUtoo" Carikli the only remaining member from the original team still actively working on the project.
Replicant is sponsored and supported by the Free Software Foundation.[2] The following table lists major releases of Replicant: Android (operating system) Mobile operating system Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android is developed by a consortium of developers known as the Open Handset Alliance, though its most widely used version is primarily developed by Google.
It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008. The source code has been used to develop variants of Android on a range of other electronics, such as game consoles, digital cameras, portable media players, and PCs, each with a specialized user interface. Some well known derivatives include Android TV for televisions and Wear OS for wearables, both developed by Google.
