Migration of Diagnostics Application and Feature Addition in Android TV

Abstract

Phase I The scope of the work is migration of Diagnostic software (Autodiag) from older Graphics standard DirectFB to the latest standard OpenGL.In the process of migration, we may need to adapt application layer interfaces to port it on above OpenGL component. It also includes testing of necessary OpenGL graphics interfaces on the specified hardware plat- form.Before doing the migration directly on any new project, proof of concept (POC) will be done on one of the existing hardware platform (eg. Telefonica Hw) and use Diagnostic Software (AutoDiag) on which porting OpenGL on URSR nexus platform release 17.1.As part of this POC migration activity, we can also understand the performance of OpenGL and also implement and test some of the Graphics features using demo applications. Phase II For feature addition in Android TV, the task list started with giving the POC for An- droid TV with Android N, followed by adding the feature of Auto-Pairing in DEV cory branch, the main reason for adding this feature in the particular branch was that, BLE RCU can be paired with STBs but for pairing and connecting, manual settings has to be done. So with this new feature as soon as the STB boots up, the BLE RCU should be automatically paired and connected to the STB. The next task was to add other BLE RCUs in this feature, followed by porting of the feature in Android O. The next task that followed after this was to configure GPIOs with respect to the RCU pairing, connection and disconnection. The last task was to test one app that is BCM OTA update app, so that the platforms can be flashed without taking apart the front cover and without using RS232.
