To foster adoption of Bada, Samsung reportedly considered releasing the source code under an open-source license, and expanding device support to include Smart TVs.[3] In June 2012 Samsung announced its intention to merge Bada into the Tizen project,[4][5] while still using it in parallel with Google's Android OS and Microsoft's Windows Phone on its smartphones.
Bada is based on Mentor Graphics' Nucleus RTOS kernel[6] or Linux kernel, and was planned to become as middleware separated from an OS kernel, but development was discontinued.
On 25 February 2013, Samsung announced that it would stop developing Bada, moving development to Tizen instead.[7][8] Bug reporting was terminated in April 2014.[9]
