DAVE Announces the Porting of Android on Lizard, the CPU Module Based on the TI AM35x Cortex-A8 Processor

Lizard is a groundbreaking solution, specifically designed to satisfy the increasing demand of systems
requiring high performance but low power consumption levels. It offers high flexibility, thanks to the
complete interfaces set and the extremely compact form factor (70mm x 50mm). Lizard features the
NEON multimedia accelerator, a PowerVR SGX 3D graphics engine from imagination technology
(capable of 10Mpoly/s), on-board NOR and NAND flash memories as well as support for highresolution
displays. Moreover, it is one of the first solutions in the market that can offer a rich set of
peripherals (including CAN, Ethernet, serial buses and 3.3V GPIOs) together with huge computational
power.

Now, customers can access all the Lizard’s features through Android, the outstanding operating system
created by Google, which, although originally designed for mobile handsets, offers designers of
embedded solution the ability to easily add a high-level OS to their product and quickly develop new
apps thanks to the complete application framework.
