Android, or the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), is primarily known from the smartphone market. What is less well known, however, is that the AOSP also provides a good basis for embedded systems and ensures a pleasant reading experience on eReaders, for example.
Google is now increasingly pushing into the automotive sector with Android Automotive. But what exactly is Android Automotive or the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS)? How does it differ from Android or the AOSP? And what are the advantages over classic operating systems for infotainment?

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is becoming increasingly popular, thanks in part to public networks such as The Things Network, which allow users to dispense with their own gateways. LoRaWAN also promises potential in terms of range and energy efficiency. But how does the standard perform in practice?
The aim of the presentation is to shed light on the technical background and demonstrate how practicable LoRa is in the field using real tests. It will be shown how the standard behaves in urban and rural areas, how differences in height of the gateway and different antennas influence the transmission quality.

Over-the-air updates have established themselves as the standard for networked devices, but the effort involved in operating the server side is not always commensurate with the benefits. In such cases, the supposedly simple and quick solution of implementing updates via USB is often chosen. But is it really always that uncomplicated? What considerations are necessary to implement USB updates effectively?
This presentation provides an insight into the challenges of USB updates and presents solutions and practical tips for successful implementation. Find out which aspects need to be considered in order to optimize USB updates and ensure a smooth process

Together with my colleague Stefan Lengfeld.
Tracing is a capable mechanism for deep system analysis and profiling with a minimal overhead. By recording defined system events, in Linux but also Android, tracing can be used to analyze concurrency or latency issues, for example. Android’s systrace tool made it easy to analyze and correlate traces and events due to a graphical UI, in order to help developers identify performance bottlenecks. The successor to this advanced and convenient tool is called Perfetto. It’s available for pure Linux too, and part of Yocto (meta-oe) since Langdale now. In the talk, we’ll have a look into
