Multiple devices management



  • step 1 : AOSP Emulator, configure multiple devices that would be available in the car.
  • step 2 : Car System Emulator : emulate multiple Android devices with one single host device (e.g. Android sees many headsets and speakers then the user can select which one plays on the single host real device)
  • help test multi zone audio use cases
  • multiple microphones management
2HW acceleration Emulation

  • run the same DSP HW accelerated algorithm in a PC x86 environment
  • connect it to android emulator as an external HW accelerator
  • prefer usage of standard libraries and interfaces e.g. Android audio effects / Open SL.
  • how to add custom app effects
  • how to abstract audio analysis algorithms e.g. Wake Up Word Detection or other.

Bluetooth Device Integration in Android System.

As a user I have a BT headset (with speakers, microphone, control buttons, or even the car itself, etc.). I should be able to use it in an Android System.

Ensure measurability of full audio path latency

As a user I would not want my audio connection to be delayed.

Each delay measure will be split in modules, which module brings which delay, eg (Bluetooth delay, mixing delay, routing delay,...)

Additional build and run info

This info is to be moved in the repo readme, the current readme is not at the root of the repo to avoid aosp directory pollution, therefore this info will move once a new structure of repo is created with manifest and new readme

  • can open Android Studio that will show logcat output
  • Listen with command on another terminal window "nc -l 5000"
  • emulator
  • switch on from emulator power button
  • play any sound from Alarm volume settings or other
