The OS is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) with some modifications and improvements.
Some components are developed by the project which allow it to run on PC architecture. For instance, some
low-level components are replaced to better suit the platform, such as the kerneland HALs. The OS enables
Open GL ES hardware acceleration if supported GPUs are detected, including Intel GMA, AMD's Radeon and
Nvidia's chipsets (Nouveau). Without supported GPUs the OS can also run in non-accelerated mode via
software rendering.
• Like a normal Linux distribution, the project releases prebuilt ISO images which can run under live mode or
install to the harddisks of the target devices. Since the 4.4-r2 the project also releases efi_img which could be
used to create a live USB which is bootable from UEFI devices.
