// Realtime Embedded Android Projects
It is now possible to execute a real-time oscilloscope or ECG monitor on low-end hardware (Freescale i.MX6 tested on 400MHz) running Android as an embedded OS. Android Charting in embedded systems is breaking into the mainstream for the Automotive, Process Control, Medical and Engineering industries.
“We can underclock the Freescale i.MX6 down to 2x400MHz, and the chart is still running at 25fps!” – Michael Guntli, IMT Information Management Technology AG
Our incredible Java Android Charting performance is provided by a mixture of extensive end-to-end performance optimisations, C++ / NDK interop, OpenGL ES rendering engine and intelligent culling / resampling algorithms, all with an intuitive Java API. You just won’t find real-world Embedded Android charting performance quite like SciChart!
