DART-MX8M Android Oreo Accessing Hardware via Android Application

Android Application Access

By default Android Application can't access the hardware directly as per design. All the hardware access either have to be via Android services or via the HAL layers.

However there are ways to access the hardware like GPIOs / UART/ SPI / I2C/CAN However if customer still want to access you can do so by making Selinux in permissive mode or modify the selinux policies a) and make your application system app. https://devarea.com/aosp-creating-a-systemapplication/#.XxaL2ShKiUk


UART
