The objective is to achieve the functionality of one operating system on hardware primarily designed for another. This involves running Google’s operating system, typically found on smart televisions and streaming devices, on a platform developed by a different company known for its streaming media players.
Integrating capabilities of different platforms potentially broadens the availability of apps and services to users. Historically, consumers have sought ways to circumvent limitations imposed by specific hardware or software ecosystems, driving innovation in custom firmware and software modifications.
