Variscite announces the support of Brillo, the Android-based embedded operating system by Google, over its DART-6UL platform.

The Brillo project was announced by Google during 2015 and is aimed at low-power memory-constrained Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices.

The latest addition of Brillo makes the DART-6UL an ideal solution for fast emerging applications in the IoT market.
