Google wants to connect everything to the web. It appears that the search giant is preparing a new platform specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT).
The Information reported that Google is working on a software called Brillo designed for that reason only. Similar to IoT operating systems, Brillo is said to be optimized for devices with extremely low RAM. The project is also said to be separated from the Nest division, which Google acquired last year.
Fortune confirmed Google’s plans:
[quote type=”border_left”]The plan is to launch the code at Google’s I/O event next week. These operating systems are designed to be very small and take up very little memory so they can run on chips that might act as the brains of a smart lock or even a connected sensor. The world of these real-time operating systems as they are called is very fragmented, with most of the ones in use today being dictated by the chip. Most chipmakers provide an RTOS, as they’re known, that works with the chip.[/quote]
Brillo is expected to make its debut at Google I/O developer conference this month.
