Hi UDOOers!
Today is a great day because we’re releasing Android Kitkat 4.4.2. for UDOO! Aren’t you excited? We are. But let’s go straight to the point, because Android Kitkat 4.4.2. is coming with a whole bunch of news!

First point: better performances.

Second point: in the download file you’ll find also two new open-source apps: the hyper-comfortable ADBWireless, that will free you from the need of wires during the development, and Simple Explorer , the new file manager through which you can manage all the files, install apps through usb keys , handle root permissions and so on.

Third point: we fixed some bugs related to the options of the External Otg.

Fourth point: through BLE-USB dongle finally Bluetooth Low Energy works. This means UDOO can become a gateway for BLE devices! For example, if you are a UDOOer since the beginning, since our launch on Kickstarter, the Bluetooth dongle we sent you as a stretch goal works also for BLE.

But we would like to spend a few more words about Android Kitkat 4.4.2.
This is the first version guys. We’re currently working on that, because we love Android and we want your Android experience with UDOO to be amazing. But we need your feedbacks in the forum guys! Other great improvements will be released in the next months. Take this statement seriously: there are some rabbits in the hat and we are going to show you them very soon, so STAY TUNED, hot stuff’s arriving!

P.S.: when you plug an external usb drive you’ll find it mounted here:
