At the same time, the platform now adds support for new system modules (System-on-Modules or SoMs) and promises to provide long-term support for the next three years, while allowing developers to decide whether they need extended support, helping them more easily. Design a prototype and bring it to market.
The official version of Android Things and the release of product-level system modules allow you to develop smart products that are not only prototypes for demonstrations, but also stable, safe, and market-oriented smart products.
