Samsung bada is a fully-fledged smartphone platform, created for application deployment across a range of devices. In this posting, we’ll explain the important architectural features you will need to know to get the most out of bada.
Samsung bada can be best understood by examining its architecture, which is made up of these four layers:
* The kernel layer, which can be based on a real-time OS or Linux kernel, depending on hardware configuration
* The device layer, which provides the core functions as a device platform such as system and security management, graphics and window system, data protocols and telephony, audio-visual and multimedia management, and so on.
* The service layer, which provides service-centric functions that are provided by application engines – such as messaging and contact management – and web-service components interconnecting with bada Server
* Only the framework layercan export standard open APIs in C++, and it consists of application framework and functions exported by underlying layers. Using this layer, you are able to create innovative applications on the bada platform!
