Support the Android Open Accessory Development Kit #16

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Just like any other 3.1 Android device, Google TV should support the ADK: 
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/adk.html

The use cases would be to allow developers to integrate accessory devices for 
Google TV.

Having ADK running on GTV is extremely useful; as an always-on device, there is 
plenty of things that can be done with that

This is not possible in the current devices due to hardware limitation. 

For developers looking at this issue, please star this if you would like us to 
look into it for future devices.

What specifically is missing from the current hardware so that ADK would work? 
All other 3.1 Android devices do support the ADK.

As an always-on device, you should use USB host on GTV, instead of ADK which 
requires another power plug/supply.

I would love for this to work on GTV.Im wrapping up an accessory now that has 
to use a raspberry pi running android since Google TV doesnt support OAP

The Open Accessories Protocol is currently not supported on Google TV.   We 
will certainly share details if it does become available.

ADK is intended to work with devices that have a USB device interface. Google 
TV devices act as a USB Host such that there is an incompatibility with the 
ADK. Thank you for your interest in Google TV.

Can you provide additional details on the incompatibility?

The ADK has two ports. One that allows it to run as a USB host for USB "client" 
devices such as Android powered phones. The other port (commonly referred to as 
the debug port) does act as a USB "client" device though. The evidence is in 
every Arduino powered system that is connected to a regular PC or laptop. In 
fact the laptop I'm typing this on has an Arduino based impact sensor that is 
acting as a device to my laptop's USB host bus. If the Google TV code could 
just be added to work with the OAP then us developers could certainly modify 
the Android libraries for the Arduino to to communication over the debug port 
allowing us to use Google TV as a host device. Please make this work!!

As noted in our presentation at Google I/O, Google TV will be merging into base 
Android.  This should eventually enable functionality like ADK support."
