What is Mobile Virtualization? Mobile virtualization enables OEMs, MNOs, and semiconductor suppliers to: Significantly reduce the cost of making mobile phones and smartphones Reuse legacy software easily while switching between rich OSes like Android, Symbian, Windows and Linux Efficiently utilize the latest multicore processor designs ok-labs.com ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc.

Evoke home screen Here’s the Evoke. Zippy little thing, eh? It’s built using Linux and BREW, all running on an ARM926 processor. We’ll tell you how we built a smartphone using feature phone hardware, but first… ok-labs.com ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. 5

We switched to BREW? I didn’t even notice! With the OKL4 Microvisor, these legacy BREW apps required no changes even after adding a full Linux OS and a full complement of Linux apps. ok-labs.com ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. 8

Photo of incoming call Sorry for the interruption… I seem to be getting a call. By the way, that video was on Linux and this call is enabled by the standard proprietary Qualcomm real-time app. ok-labs.com ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. 10

Evoke QA4 Architecture The OKL4 Microvisor creates two virtual machines on one ARM926ejs. One virtual machine for Linux and a second for Qualcomm’s Baseband stack and BREW. Traditional smartphone SW architecture, but on a single ARM SoC. ok-labs.com ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. 14

What’s remarkable about this design… It’s all built on a low-end single core ARM processor— an ARM926 that is only clocking at 200MHz and uses only 128MB. This solution delivers smartphone performance on feature phone hardware. ok-labs.com ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. 16

Business benefits include… …cost savings to the complete mobile ecosystem. A recent teardown analysis revealed a cost-savings of $46 per unit BOM cost for the OEM. In addition to immediate cost-savings, the MNO can offer smartphones to the mass market segment and generate new data service revenues, thus increasing ARPU.

Mobile virtualization is real. OEMs, semiconductor suppliers and MNOs are using mobile virtualization to build and deploy applications and services to meet real-world needs. Mobile virtualization is more than a vague “proof of concept.” OKL4 is actually everywhere. It’s inside handsets from Palm, LG, Motorola, HTC, Samsung, ST-Ericsson, and others, in fact, it’s in 500 million handsets worldwide. ok-labs.com ©2009 Open Kernel Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. 18
