Collaborate to innovate Community-driven innovation is accelerating the development of single board , explains Newark element14’s global director of Raspberry Pi, single board computers and software, Peter Wenzel

Innovation is accelerating in single board computers, thanks largely to creativity within the communities that support them. Whether that stems from a brilliant individual or a hive-mind collaboration, communities provide fertile ground for developers looking to push the envelope of these compact, low-power, open-source computers.

Some of today’s SBC platforms with the strongest community support include the Raspberry Pi, Beagleboard, Arduino, and micro:bit, though other SBCs enter the market every year, many focused on specific applications like robotics, artificial intelligence, or internet of things.

SBCs enter“” the market every year, many focused on specific applications like robotics, artificial intelligence, or internet of things

This community effect has segmented SBC development into three naturally aligning markets: education, hobbyists, and original equipment manufacturers, with innovation occurring across all three markets.

Driving performance innovation Clearly, communities are driving performance innovations. The recently introduced Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, for instance, addresses demand from the professional and maker communities for faster and more powerful computers to be used as embedded devices.

Toyota buyers mitigate risk to avoid managing supply chain crises

For Toyota, two-way communication with suppliers is imperative in Auto electronics systems order to identify and mitigate supply chain risk demand soars By James Carbone

Managing risk in the supply chain is a tough task for 169.2 purchasers in all industries, 153.4 161.2 but it is especially challenging 143.8 for buyers at automakers 126.9 134.3 because the auto industry has multiple tiers of suppliers.

Is strong component demand from automotive causing shortages?

It is no secret that automakers are building Strong demand for automotive electronic “Smart watches, Alexa, all the new gadgets more models of vehicles equipped with systems is boosting sales of components that are available in the home that are sophisticated electronics systems to enhance used in those systems. For instance, the electronic in nature are in competition for safety, vehicle performance and overall driver automotive market will have capacity in the electronics market,” he said. In and passenger experience. a compound annual growth rate of 12.5 per fact, demand for such devices, which tend to cent, according to IC Insights. Automotive use components based on new technologies, is Features such as lane change warning, accounted for 7.4 per cent of total IC sales in causing some issues with the auto industry. collision avoidance, rear-view cameras, 2017 and is forecast to account for 7.5 per automatic braking, self-driving, as well as cent in 2018 and 9.3 per cent in 2021, the Lewis said because of that “draw on the infotainment used to be confined to higher researcher said. capacity for consumer electronics products, end, luxury vehicles, but now are being manufacturers are trending towards newer designed into lesser expensive models.

However, component shortages of MOSFETs and other use in vehicles is increasing, the demand for automotive systems have longer lifecycles. discrete semiconductors, multilayer ceramic semiconductors and other components in capacitors, resistor chips and other parts. other industries is growing as well. “We may build a particular electronic product for up to five years maybe seven so the In fact, demand for chips, passives and other “Yes, we are increasing electronics content in componentry that’s in some of our electronics components by the auto industry is rising cars, adding more advanced driver assistance can be five to seven years old. as a result of the growth of sophisticated, systems and more complex communication high-tech electronics systems.
