Flutter, Google’s open-source framework for building multi-platform apps for mobile, web and desktop, is hosting its Flutter Forward event in Nairobi, Kenya today. As the name implies, the team is using the event to showcase up-and-coming features of the framework — most of which are still very early in their development cycle. The main highlights here are massively improved graphics performance, the ability to more easily embed Flutter code into existing web and mobile apps, and support… Source link

Google has officially announced that Android will support the RISC-V instruction set architecture. The announcement is from the RISC-V Summit held last month. For those unfamiliar, RISC-V is the Reduced Instruction Set Computer V architecture – an open, free-to-use standard without licensing or royalty fees. Essentially, it’s a competitor to ARM and x86 architectures on which companies can build chipsets. Particularly companies that aim to make lower-cost processors or reduce their… Source link

Google has officially announced its support for the RISC-V architecture, an alternative ISA without licensing fees. Android, the operating system developed by Google, currently supports a couple of different instruction set architectures (ISAs), such as Arm and x86. Most devices that use Android, including smartphones, tablets, TVs, and smartwatches, use Arm-based chipsets. Intel stopped producing CPUs for phones, and support for MIPS was removed in NDK… Source link
