Published source code and developer tools for Tizen mobile OS

On Habré some time ago, it was already mentioned about the Tizen project, which is an operating system for mobile devices. A few days ago, the project reached a certain development point and the source code for the alpha version (pre-1.0) of the system was presented to the public along with the developer tools (SDK) and a compilation of documentation.


In order to evaluate what they are talking about, developers are encouraged to download an SDK designed to run on Ubuntu (Windows and Mac support is also announced in the future) and consisting of a Web IDE (based on HTML5; in Tizen, it is also possible to create web applications) Native IDE (Eclipse), emulator, GUI Builder, debugging and testing tools, and sample code. The SDK works on new 32-bit versions of Ubuntu 10.04.10.10.11.11.04.

The process of debugging a Tizen application is shown.


The Linux-based Tizen kernel itself currently supports graphics and user interfaces based on EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) with X11-style window management (including 3D effects), multimedia capabilities, location, telephony, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.

A diagram of the Tizen core is shown in the figure below:


A curious circumstance is the following: Tizen is the successor of two other mobile platforms - MeeGo and LiMo . And the first of the systems - MeeGo - is itself a symbiosis of earlier Maemo (made by Nokia) and Moblin (from Intel). The development is supported by the Linux and Limo Foundation funds, and the result of the work is designed to compete with another open and already mega-popular Android system.
