PCB Reference Designs for Intel IoT Devices
Zuken Announces PCB Reference Design Availability for Intel IoT Devices
1 April 2015 – Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA – Zuken announces that board reference designs for Intel-produced Internet of Things (IoT) devices prepared in CR-8000 Design Force are now available from Intel. Delivery starts with the Intel® Atom™ Processor E3800 series of products.
Intel Corporation and Zuken are engaged in a technical partnership working to address convenience improvements for designs in Zuken PCB design environments that use Intel platforms. This delivery of reference designs forms just one part of these efforts.
With the continued rise of IoT, it is becoming increasingly important for products developed by embedded system manufacturers to incorporate highly advanced designs using the latest electronic components in the shortest period of time. Embedded system manufacturers using Intel platforms can greatly reduce the time required for design reviews by obtaining the reference design in Zuken PCB design formats.
This initiative will greatly improve the efficiency of embedded systems designs based on Intel® Architecture (IA). Intel and Zuken plan to continue their collaboration to enhance design efficiency for developers, while providing optimal IA solutions for the emerging IoT market.
