Testing NDK libraries on Googlebooks?

[John Dallman]

Since Googlebook OS is apparently Android, I'm wondering about using them for testing my NDK libraries. Does this make any sense? 

The key feature of Googlebooks for this is larger RAM than any normal Android device: the HP device apparently has a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite and 32GB RAM. My libraries are produced for lots of platforms - Windows, Linux and macOS, iOS and Android - with data interchangeable across all of them. Memory consumption for the testing is strongly data-dependent, and I have some test cases - created on servers, rather than Android devices - which don't fit onto my current Android devices. 

If I can treat an ARM-based Googlebook as a large and powerful Android device, use ADB to talk to it from my Linux development host, and can find one which takes power on a different connection from the USB to the host, it seems ideal for my purposes. 

What am I neglecting? 

Thanks,

John

it's probably not a good choice for anyone testing ui stuff, but i
think for the kind of form factor-independent "middleware" code you've
described in the past, it should be fine. (certainly historically i've
always tested that kind of code on "the meatiest tablet available to
me" --- the greater thermal dissipation is handy for running lots of
heavy tests as quickly as possible too :-) )

Yup, the software I'd be testing doesn't have a user interface. That's good news, now I need more details for the actual vendors. 

Thanks,
