BREW was not a virtual machine such as Java ME, but it runs a native code.įor software developers, Brew MP was a full set of application programming interfaces (API) that enables making software and applications in C, C++, Java, and was supported (platform) by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

BREW is described as a pseudo operating system, but not a true mobile operating system.

The BREW runtime library is part of the wireless device on-chip firmware or operating system to allow programmers to develop applications without needing to code for system interface or understand wireless applications. Software for Brew MP enabled handsets can be developed in C or C++ using the freely downloadable Brew MP software development kit (SDK). First developed in 1999, as a platform for wireless applications on CDMA-based mobile phones, it debuted in September 2001.Īs a software platform that can download and run small programs for playing games, sending messages, and sharing photos, the main advantage of Brew MP was that the application developers can easily port their applications among all Brew MP devices by providing a standardized set of application programming interfaces. It was offered in some feature phones (mostly with specifications similar to those of mid to high-end mobile phones) but not in smartphones. Logo of Binary Runtime Environment for Wirelessīinary Runtime Environment for Wireless ( Brew MP, Brew, Qualcomm BREW, or BREW) was an application development platform created by Qualcomm, originally for code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile phones, featuring third-party applications such as mobile games.
