markdown

Linux hasn't won the desktop war (yet!) but it has taken over the world one pocket at a time. Android-based mobile devices now outnumber all other Linux machines on the planet by a huge number.

This is an enormous opportunity for FOSS developers. We have the capability of developing and deploying on all those devices with Open tools and no gatekeepers. Now with the release of the Android Open Accessory Development Kit we have a bridge to connect them to other physical devices and peripherals around us. The software toolchain is open, the physical interface is just USB, and even the hardware reference designs for example peripherals are available under Open Hardware licenses.

This talk will explain how to get started with the necessary hardware platform and software toolchain to design your own peripherals that can plug straight into your Android phone or tablet.

It will also demonstrate some of the possibilities connecting Android-based phones and tablets to external devices such as robotics, telepresence, automotive projects, and home automation.
