WHY?
Why should you invest time and money in Vendor Agnostic ARM Cortex Design?
Our near future objectives:
Open Arm Ecosystem is based on our rt0s OS -- a minimal and simple Real Time Operating System:
rt0s.comWhy should you invest time and money in Vendor Agnostic ARM Cortex Design?
Be prepared from startup to change ARM Cortex vendor or model multiple times during product life span.
With OPEN-ARM you first define and develop the Application. And then you can select to most suitable ARM Cortex from devices that can mapped to your Application.
Be always prepared for availability problems: Have multiple h/w versions ready for production.
70..90% of ARM Cortex application requirements are generic and solvable with generic s/w modules that are supported by most devices.
Loractive.io follows 24/7 major distributors for ARM Cortex prices and availability. From historical data we can make predictions on future availability and advice on times when to refill stock.
With Loractive.io you first define and develop the Application. And then you can select to most suitable ARM Cortex from devices that can mapped to your Application.
Define Requirements of the Application
Select Loractive.io Standard Modules Required
Define Custom Modules Required and optionally outsource them to Loractive.io Community.
Use Loractive.io Community to review implementation and custom modules.
Let Loractive.io set up test h/w with selected ARM Cortex Candidates and verify functionality.
Design PCB for one or multiple selected ARM Cortexes and manufacture prototypes.
Test and iterate h/w revisions until product is ready for production. And acquire EMC/Safety Certifications.
RESULT: Multiple ARM Cortex implementations of your product. And you are free to switch between them if necessary.
Once the ARM Application is well defined with OPEN-ARM, implementation and MCU selection are easier.
With Loractive.io matching tool one can easily see which MCU:s match application reqiurements.
If one has prepared with our parallel design way of developments with multiple vendors it will be easy to switch over in case of availability problems.
With Loractive.io one can outsource any custom module development and get multiple competing implementations along with Code review.
ARM Development is a complex process, so plenty of questions may be open now.
Both aim to support multiple ARM Vendors and Makes, but Loractive.io provides tighter coupling to business and cpu availability/selection. Also we provide dedicated and curated community that can be used for outsourcing.
