Prior to its official public announcement of “bada” on December 8 at Vinopolis in London, Samsung Electronics unveiled some details about its first mobile platform.

According to Samsung, bada is made up of four layers: kernel, device, service, and framework.

The kernel layer, which can be based on a real-time OS or Linux kernel, depending on hardware configuration.

The device layer, which provides the core functions as a device platform such as system and security management, graphics and window system, data protocols and telephony, audio-visual and multimedia management, and so on.

The service layer, which provides service-centric functions that are provided by application engines — such as messaging and contact management — and web-service components interconnecting with bada Server

Only the framework layercan export standard open APIs in C++, and it consists of application framework and functions exported by underlying layers. Using this layer, you are able to create innovative applications on the bada platform.

The bada platform has been designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the user by delivering the best possible platform for innovation for the developer, Samsung said.
