"By integrating our standard V4L2 Linux camera driver with Android Camera HAL layer, e-con is proud to offer complete ready-to-use camera solution for our Android customers", said Ashok Babu, President, e-con Systems. "This allows our Android customers to use the default camera application of Android as it is, and removes a significant amount of effort in developing custom camera application using V4L2 APIs, thereby reducing the time-to-market", he added.
Android's camera subsystem connects the camera application to the application framework and user space libraries, which in turn communicate with the camera hardware layer that operates the physical camera. By integrating the e-con Linux camera driver onto Android, e-con has enabled Android camera application to take advantage of the camera hardware and use all the features of the camera application provided in FroYo Distribution.
