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. Along with Brillo, Google also introduced the Weave protocol used by Brillo devices to communicate with other devices across different platforms and operating systems.
