Since release 4.4-r2, the project also releases efi_img which can be used to create a live USB to be booted from on UEFI systems. Like a normal Linux distribution, the project releases pre-built ISO images which can run under live mode or installed to a hard disk on the target system. Since release 7.1, the software renderer has been implemented via the SwiftShader project. Without a supported GPU, the OS can run in non-accelerated mode via software rendering.
The OS enables OpenGL ES hardware acceleration via Mesa if supported GPUs are detected, including Intel GMA, AMD's Radeon, Nvidia's chipsets ( Nouveau), VMware (vmwgfx) and QEMU (virgl). For instance, some low-level components are replaced to better suit the platform, such as the kernel and HALs. Some components are developed by the project which allow it to run on PC architecture.
The OS is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) with some modifications and improvements.
