Android, Brightness, ChromeOS
summary
Brillo is a minimal hybrid OS that uses Android’s userland layout with ChromeOS services to target always‑powered appliances with 32–64 MB RAM rather than tiny wearables. The project has been merged into AOSP as milestone builds (around 7–9) and provides an SDK/BDK, ADB, avahi mDNS, a Weave web daemon with Web APIs, a Chrome‑style update engine, metrics daemon, minijail isolation, and runs simple C daemons (not ART apps) on reference boards.
