MTK Platform Expert

Deep Production Know-how Across AI Glasses Chip Platforms

Few teams can transform AI glasses into reliable, mass-production-ready products on highly integrated communication platforms. SmartXY has extensive experience across MT8766, MT6765, MT6762, MT6771 and other mainstream 4G platforms, with ongoing development for next-generation 5G architectures.

Deep expertise in BB, RF, PA and PMIC micro-integration for highly compact PCB design.
System-level optimization covering Android BSP, camera drivers, ISP tuning, DVFS and thermal management.
Optimized power-performance architecture for AI imaging, always-on AI and ultra-low-power operation.
Proven MTK + BES dual-chip solutions for AI photography, AI audio and intelligent wearable applications.
Platform-agnostic engineering capability: Beyond MediaTek, we also support Qualcomm, UNISOC and heterogeneous architectures such as WQ7036AX + independent ISP / Camera MCU solutions. Leveraging reusable hardware and software frameworks, our team can typically complete platform bring-up and core feature integration within 1-2 months, significantly reducing development risk and accelerating EVT.
Multi-SoC Adaptation

Platform choice driven by positioning, cost, power and time-to-market.

Software System

Software manufacturability: standardization, modularization, reusability.

A successful smart-glasses platform needs more than an app — drivers, HAL, SDK/API, OTA, cloud collaboration, production test tools, privacy boundaries and version traceability.

Full-stack system customization

Root-level drivers, HAL, system trimming, algorithm integration, cross-platform porting and power/performance tuning.

Camera capability

Camera drivers, 3A tuning, HDR, ultra-night mode, MFNR and EIS video stabilization for camera glasses.

Audio capability

AI noise reduction, acoustic echo cancellation, multi-source separation, voice wake-up and open-sound-field tuning.

SDK / API open

Native protocol and SDK dual-mode interfacing to reduce client integration thresholds.

OTA + cloud collaboration

App, cloud platform, factory test data and OTA version-iteration closed loop, with rollback strategy.

On-device AI & privacy

Lightweight model deployment, local-first data path, permission-boundary design and data minimization.

Human-factor database

Head & face 3D data supports wearing comfort, optical-alignment accuracy and first-pass sampling success.

Standard-component stock

Common materials, shorter validation cycles, lower BOM cost and reduced non-standard supply risk.

Full-link ID / CMF

DFM + Validation

Production readiness is designed before production begins.

Smart-glasses failures often come from late discovery of optical tolerance, thermal comfort, hinge fatigue, RF instability, acoustic leakage, battery life or assembly yield. SmartXY moves these risks into the design and prototype stages.
