The Upverter workspace contains all the tools for prototyping on SEEED platform
NUREMBERG, Germany – EMBEDDED WORLD – February 25th 2020 – Altium (ASX:ALU), announces that Seeed, the IoT hardware enabler, has embedded the Upverter electronic design application into its Seeed platform. Seeed users can now go straight from creating a design to manufacturing in one session.
Upverter is a ground-breaking cloud-based design tool that allows anyone to design electronics. Until now, Gumstix was the only company using Upverter to create and manufacture custom electronics. Now users can create Upverter-based designs and have them manufactured by Seeed. A hardware design can be completed in minutes, and ready to ship in fifteen business days.
“We are thrilled to see Altium has simplified electronic engineering to a new standard. Upverter is lowering the barrier for everyone to turn their sketch into a real board, thus enabling emerging applications on AI, IoT, Automations for wider deployment, “ said Eric Pan, CEO of Seeed. “Seeed is honored to join the adventure by supporting our latest collections of open source hardware and agile manufacturing service!”
Upverter Key Capabilities:
- Custom Web-design tool – embedded directly into the Seeed ecosystem, Upverter provides a simple drag and drop design platform for all levels of designers enabling them to quickly build production-ready prototypes for IoT and AI applications.
- Design to Build – Upverter allows Seeed users, makers or professional engineers, to design custom hardware from the Seeed component library. The Board Builder is a menu driven application that allows users to rapidly populate a Upverter board, making the design/prototype process trivially easy.
- Rapid Manufacturing –Seeed can manufacture and deliver custom hardware directly, or with partners. Auto BSP customized support could be a significant advantage.
