What is Mobile Virtualization? Mobile virtualization enables OEMs, MNOs, and semiconductor suppliers to:
Significantly reduce the cost of making mobile phones and smartphones
Reuse legacy software easily while switching between rich OSes like Android, Symbian, Windows and Linux
Efficiently utilize the latest multicore processor designs

Here’s the Evoke. Zippy little thing, eh? It’s built using Linux and BREW, all running on an ARM926 processor.
We’ll tell you how we built a smartphone using feature phone hardware, but first…

Let’s check out some games and apps. You don’t know it, but this GUI is based on Linux.

Recognize these? This BREW app store features a number of games and apps.

We switched to BREW? I didn’t even notice! With the OKL4 Microvisor, these legacy BREW apps required no changes even after adding a full Linux OS and a full complement of Linux apps.

Sorry for the interruption… I seem to be getting a call.
By the way, that video was on Linux and this call is enabled by the standard proprietary Qualcomm real-time app.

“Hey, I’m in the middle of a really exciting demo. Can I call you back?”

…And we’re back.
When I hang up my BREW-generated call, the Evoke switches back to the Linux-run video.
With the OKL4 Microvisor, two applications are running on separate OSes, working seamlessly on the same processor.

What’s so cool about this?

…and how does it work?

Evoke QA4 Architecture
14 ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved.
The OKL4 Microvisor creates two virtual machines on one ARM926ejs.
One virtual machine for Linux and a second for Qualcomm’s Baseband stack and BREW.
Traditional smartphone SW architecture, but on a single ARM SoC.

You may have seen other “demos” of virtualization, but you’ve never seen it on an actual product…
…until now.
ok-labs.com
What’s remarkable about this design…
16 ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved.
It’s all built on a low-end single core ARM processor—an ARM926 that is only clocking at 200MHz and uses only 128MB.
This solution delivers smartphone performance on feature phone hardware.

Business benefits include…

…cost savings to the complete mobile ecosystem.
A recent teardown analysis revealed a cost-savings of $46 per unit BOM cost for the OEM. In addition to immediate cost-savings, the MNO can offer smartphones to the mass market segment and generate new data service revenues, thus increasing ARPU.

Mobile virtualization is real.
18 ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved.
OEMs, semiconductor suppliers and MNOs are using mobile virtualization to build and deploy applications and services to meet real-world needs. Mobile virtualization is more than a vague “proof of concept.”
OKL4 is actually everywhere. It’s inside handsets from Palm, LG, Motorola, HTC, Samsung, ST-Ericsson, and others, in fact, it’s in 500 million handsets worldwide.
