>The usual way to solve this, is a simplified onboard system. Crash prevention and the like. Probably an Arduino or ESP8266.

My idea was have something like that hooked in to the bigger board via USB - the Android is creating flight plans and the micro controller is just managing the motors and following the plans it receives.

snapdragon 410 seems like it doesn't have OpenCL 2 (shared memory access ?)

The microcontroller may need more than naively doing as told, to reduce crash & burn.

For the other board, I probably wouldn't use USB, but a serial or pin connection could be faster.

Broadcom recently released the spec sheet for the Raspberry Pi's GPU, and people have been doing good work with that.

Edit: Snapdragon 410 has official support only for OpenCL 1.1

I was just thinking USB since it's guaranteed to be there and should be simple to program on android if I chose to go down the "disassemble a phone for parts" route.
