Hello, I am an Android developer who uses Samsung smartphones.
My interest is to use a smartphone (with UWB chips) as a tag to position it based on TWR.
The device I’m currently using is a Galaxy S21+ terminal, and I recently heard about the release of Androidx.core.uwb:uwb:1.0.0-alpha01 through https://developer.android.com.
I’d like to confirm a few things related to this.
-
Is the device I am using (Galaxy S21+) included in the partner device assuming the controller profile referred to in Android?
If included, are UWB-based Ranging levels implemented through the current controller profile and open to third-party developers? -
After the alpha version that provides UwbManager/UwbClientSessionScope,
When will the additional source code for Ranging be released, such as the UWB library of Google Android sources? -
Will Samsung adopt the UWB library provided by Google as it is?
If not, when will Samsung’s own library be developed and available for third-party use? -
If the Ranging function of Samsung smartphone can be implemented with UWB alpha version,
Please let me know whether Samsung smartphone-NXP equipment is compatible and if possible, whether Google Pixel phone-NXP equipment is compatible.
