Project Ara is Google's modular smartphone project that allows users to customize their device by swapping in and out hardware modules. The smartphone consists of an endoskeletal frame with slots for modules like displays, cameras, batteries etc. This allows users to upgrade individual components rather than the entire device. Google aims to make the core frame affordable at $50 and allow third parties to create additional modules without licensing fees. This approach intends to extend the lifespan of devices and reduce e-waste. Various prototypes were unveiled between 2013-2016, and pilot tests were planned but delayed. Other companies like Motorola and LG have also introduced modular devices with modules for accessories, but Project Ara aims for greater customization. Potential challenges include higher costs for modules

 The most important piece of hardware is the
chassis called the "Endoskeleton
 it's where all the modular components will slide
in and attach to the Endo’s slots.
 In that a central "spine" traverses the length of
Project Ara phones, with "ribs" branching out to
split the phone into rectangular subsections.
 The sizes of the Endoskeletons are:
Small – 45x118x9.7mm (about the size of classic
Nokia 3310)
Medium – 68x141x9.7mm (about the size of
Samsung Galaxy S5)
Big – 91x164x9.7mm (slightly bigger than iPhone

 Even though the modules know how to speak
to each other, they need a way to physically
connect to the Endo.
 The second technology Project Ara uses is
capacitive M-PHY, a physical layer developed
by the MIPI Alliance and made to work with
UniPro
 M-PHY is a capacitive interface, which means
that the connection points won't be worn
down over time from swapping modules in
and out of the phone
 M-PHY interface block calls for 10 connection
points, eight of which are for data (four pairs
of lanes), one for power, and one for ground.
 UniPro/M-PHY interface has enough
bandwidth 10Gb/s for most modules, 20Gb/s
for large modules
 The final technology in Project Ara's module
design is the use of electropermanent
magnets for affixing the modules in place in
the Endo
 electropermanent magnets only use current
to flip magnetization on and off

DigiLocker is a cloud storage service launched by the Indian government to store important documents and share them digitally with government agencies. It is linked to individual's Aadhaar number for authentication. Users can upload documents and share them by providing URIs. This reduces the need for physical documents and makes accessing services paperless. Some key benefits are lower costs for the government, reduced fraud, and more convenient access to documents for verification by agencies.

 Each interface block is composed of 4
electrical connections (2 for power, 1
detect/wake, and 1 RF) and 8 data interfaces
transferred by means of 4 contactless
inductive pads as shown in figure below (1×2
modules have 2 sets of electrical connections
to enable module insertion in both
orientations)
 The Project Ara team would sell the exoskeleton for a set price
$ 50
 Includes
-Wi-Fi chip
- Processor
- Screen
- Battery
 Then make a module store, much like the Google Play app
marketplace, available so you can buy modules to upgrade your
exoskeleton
 Many third-party developers are working with the Project Ara
team. Sennheisser will be developing specialised audio modules
and Toshiba has recently announced the first camera modules for
the smartphone.
 . It's expected that in the future other companies will be able to
sell their hardware add-ons through this platform
 The latest Android operating system will be
modified slightly to make it suitable for the
Ara. The project's team leader. Paul
Eremenko, has promised the Android team is
working to make sure the Ara phone is a
priority and gets the latest updates.

Google's Motorola has unveiled Project Ara, an open hardware platform for building modular smartphonesThe idea behind the project, led by Motorola's Advanced Technology and Projects group, is to turn almost everything in a smartphone — display, keyboard, battery, processor — into a module that can be replaced.Motorola envisions two basic components of such a smartphone: an endoskeleton (or endo), the structural frame that holds all the pieces together, and the modules which are fitted on the endo. The goal is to drive a more thoughtful, expressive, and open relationship between users, developers, and their phones. To give you the power to decide what your phone does, how it looks, where and what it’s made of, how much it costs, and how long you’ll keep it. With a Project Ara phone, modules can be replaced one at a time. Want a new Bluetooth model? Just snap it in. New battery, camera, processor? Easily done. The concept should give you, the user, the power to decide what goes into your phone: how it looks, how much it costs and what it does. As Motorola puts it, all of this should do for hardware what the Android platform has done for software. The results should be a third-party developer ecosystem and faster innovation. Motorola has been working on Project Ara for a year. Immediate plans involve sending an invitation to developers to start creating modules for the platform in a couple of months. If the project becomes a consumer-level reality available to billions of users, the effect on the smartphone industry as a whole could be very interesting indeed to witness. For one, it could affect the rate at which manufacturers release new models. Assuming the prototype functions well enough to continue, and assuming the public launch is received well — which is still a long ways off — this could be a major win for consumers over the long haul.

This presentation introduces the Phonebloks concept created by Dave Hakkens to reduce electronic waste by making smartphones modular and customizable. Phonebloks proposes a smartphone made of detachable third-party components called "Bloks" that can be replaced individually to upgrade functions, expand storage or replace damaged pieces. This would allow users to customize their device and potentially keep phones longer rather than throwing them out entirely when one component fails. However, some critics argue that the modular design could actually increase e-waste if users frequently replace blocks as new versions become available. The project is now being developed collaboratively with Motorola as "Project Ara".

GOOGLE Project ARA

  • 2.  Phonebloks is an open-source modular smartphone concept.  primarily to reduce electronic waste.  By attaching individual third-party components (called "bloks") to a main board, a user would create a personalized smartphone  These bloks can be replaced at will to replace a broken blok, to upgrade an existing blok  Bloks would be available in Blokstore, "an app store for hardware", where users could buy new and used bloks as well as sell back their old ones
  • 4. - In September 2013,Dutch designer Dave Hakkens announced the Phonebloks modular phone concept independently in September 2013 - Motorola publicly announced Project Ara on October 29,2013 and said they will be working collaboratively with Phonebloks Dave Hakkens-Master mind behind the concept ‘Phonebloks’
  • 5.  The Project Ara smartphone will allow everyone to build their own perfect smartphone.  Where one person may want to spend more money on a high power camera, another may wish to splash out on more memory. Whatever the desired goal a user should be able to modify their device to suit that need.
  • 6.  The Ara is a modular smartphone.  The name of mechanical designer of this smartphone is Ara. First prototype of Ara launched in 0ct 2014.
  • 8.  The newest Project Ara prototype is called Spiral 2.  It's a block-based modular smartphone and builds upon the MDK version 0.20.  1280 x 720 display  light and proximity sensors  5-megapixel camera  Wi-Fi and Bluetooth  3G modem with a Band 2 antenna, separate Band 5 antenna  Battery  speaker module  Marvell PXA1928 or NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor block.
  • 10.  LED-packed flashlight powered by Energizer  Extended battery  A fingerprint reader  A breathalyzer  Abreath strips dispenser  It also sports a leather flip cover that uses an E- ink secondary display
  • 11.  Spiral 3, the next Project Ara prototype.  It will feature an inductive data connection on the phone so modules and the endo can communicate with no actual contact.  Spiral 3 will also support 4G/LTE.  Spiral 2 has a 1x1 block that includes a microUSB port for charging and syncing, but Spiral 3 will feature wireless connections instead  Launch in Puerto Rico  MDK 0.5  20-30 modules
  • 13.  The most important piece of hardware is the chassis called the "Endoskeleton  it's where all the modular components will slide in and attach to the Endo’s slots.  In that a central "spine" traverses the length of Project Ara phones, with "ribs" branching out to split the phone into rectangular subsections.  The sizes of the Endoskeletons are: Small – 45x118x9.7mm (about the size of classic Nokia 3310) Medium – 68x141x9.7mm (about the size of Samsung Galaxy S5) Big – 91x164x9.7mm (slightly bigger than iPhone 6 Plus)
  • 15.  Modules are building blocks of phone  It fits in the endo structure  These modules, which can be 1x1, 1x2, or 2x2 blocks  The brains of a Project Ara phone the CPU and memory live in a primary Application Processor module, which takes up a 2x2 module.  you won't be able to split up the the AP--- processor, memory, SD card slot
  • 17.  3D printed module cases  Customers can select: - Colour - Material - Image - Text - Inscriptions  Easily replaceable cases
  • 19.  Even though the modules know how to speak to each other, they need a way to physically connect to the Endo.  The second technology Project Ara uses is capacitive M-PHY, a physical layer developed by the MIPI Alliance and made to work with UniPro  M-PHY is a capacitive interface, which means that the connection points won't be worn down over time from swapping modules in and out of the phone  M-PHY interface block calls for 10 connection points, eight of which are for data (four pairs of lanes), one for power, and one for ground.
  • 20.  UniPro/M-PHY interface has enough bandwidth 10Gb/s for most modules, 20Gb/s for large modules  The final technology in Project Ara's module design is the use of electropermanent magnets for affixing the modules in place in the Endo  electropermanent magnets only use current to flip magnetization on and off
  • 21.  Each interface block is composed of 4 electrical connections (2 for power, 1 detect/wake, and 1 RF) and 8 data interfaces transferred by means of 4 contactless inductive pads as shown in figure below (1×2 modules have 2 sets of electrical connections to enable module insertion in both orientations)
  • 22.  The Project Ara team would sell the exoskeleton for a set price $ 50  Includes -Wi-Fi chip - Processor - Screen - Battery  Then make a module store, much like the Google Play app marketplace, available so you can buy modules to upgrade your exoskeleton  Many third-party developers are working with the Project Ara team. Sennheisser will be developing specialised audio modules and Toshiba has recently announced the first camera modules for the smartphone.  . It's expected that in the future other companies will be able to sell their hardware add-ons through this platform
  • 23.  The latest Android operating system will be modified slightly to make it suitable for the Ara. The project's team leader. Paul Eremenko, has promised the Android team is working to make sure the Ara phone is a priority and gets the latest updates.
  • 25.  Processor module  pollution sensor module that turns your smartphone into a portable air-quality gage of sorts.  biometric sensor  Sennheiser Audio Modules

Editor's Notes

  1. Made from aluminium Water and dust-proof
  2. Front modules reach across the entire width of a particular Endoskeleton frame, while rear modules come in three standard sizes (1×1, 1×2, and 2×2) and can fit into multiple frame sizes. The rear of the Endo is parceled into 1×1 unit squares. Each 1×1 square is approximately 22mm. 1×2 and 2×2 modules are approximately 22x44mm and 44x44mm respectively.
  3. The interface block is itself mounted and printed on a separate PCB (printed cirquit board). The interface block PCB is then soldered to the main PCB. When installed into the module, the interface block PCB should be completely flush with the corresponding opening in the module base. The interface block PCB must follow the geometry specified in the module template CAD and EDA files provided in the reference implementation withing MDK (Module Developers Kit). The interface block in the current prototype platform differs from the objective specification. Instead of contactless data transfer with inductive pads, the prototype uses electrical signaling between the gold-plated copper pads on the module interface block and spring pins on the Endo for data transfer (i.e., the same method used for power transfer). The shape of the prototype interface block pad is round to match the spring pins on the Endo. The module template section provides design artifacts for the prototype interface block reference implementation. The prototype interface block provides 8 data pads: two bidirectional M-PHY data lanes with 8 differential pairs (2 TX pairs and 2 RX pairs), a power pad, a ground pad, a detect/wake pad, and an RF pad. Figure and table below detail the pinouts of the prototype interface block.
