Hardware R&D Platform [Copy link]

 

A while ago, a friend's company wanted to make a board with simple functions, but they didn't have hardware designers. They wanted to find a platform that could quickly evaluate the feasibility, cost and delivery time of the principle design. And provide fast design proofing services. Why is there no such platform?

Are you a company or an individual? Do you have such a semi-self-service platform?

No matter how simple the function is, there are constraints. Without relevant information, no one knows what platform is suitable.

Just search on Taobao and you will find it. But it may not be fast in the early stage. No matter what kind of platform it is, if you want to outsource it quickly without knowing much, it will eventually slow down. The threshold is always there.

The words may be a bit rude, "this kind of idea is that of an amateur who doesn't understand hardware development"! Especially junior pure software programmers who don't know much about hardware and have simple brains, they love to come up with such bad ideas. I have encountered such fake experts who pretend to be experts, and they raised many stupid "requirements" (about five or six times, maybe I am stupid enough to have such an adventure). Putting the functions aside, the main requirement of these people is "fast", and "fast to the point of being unrealistic". What development boards, DuPont flying wire connections, perforated boards, universal boards, etc., these idiots have very broad imaginations, and they all require a "demo version" to be made for customers first, emphasizing that "it's mainly about functions..." and so on. These people usually come up with temporary ideas on the spur of the moment without long-term consideration, and most of the requirements are relatively "flexible", and the functions are modified at will. At the same time, they don't plan to invest much. So most of these projects have no value.

Brother's evaluation of the demand side is very accurate, but there is no way, they are often the ones who get the resources, so according to the assumption that the customer is God, you still have to serve them first. In addition, you can standardize the design instructions with the demand side before starting, and just clarify the responsibilities. As for the modification, of course it is also paid, write it clearly, haha.

Yes, even if the software and hardware debugging is outsourced, it is also a big project. This is indeed a gap. It is not easy to build this bridge between hardware and upper-level software personnel.

Just like a brother downstairs said, because the demand side has no hardware experience, their ideas are often wild and open-minded. I want to find a hardware platform as a bridge to connect hardware and software personnel.

In fact, after the main functions are designed, the product is basically ready. People who don't understand will think that the main functions will be released very quickly. This idea is terrifying.

It makes sense, the right to speak is in their hands, if you don't do it, they will find someone else, they believe that someone will take over.

There are so many hardware platforms, and the demand side should have needs. It has nothing to do with whether there is hardware experience or not. Obviously, you don’t understand it yourself. The electronics industry is so broad and there are so many products. The corresponding hardware platforms are not to mention tens of thousands, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It is normal. Without the constraints of specific needs, your question is meaningless.

There are many hardware platforms. If it is very complicated, you can find a company to cooperate with. If it is simple, we engineers in the group can do it. But first, we must confirm the specific details, otherwise it will waste more time to modify it repeatedly.

Look at these big shots who are almost driven crazy.

There are also many engineers in the company who pretend to be big shots. What about previous experience? More hardware to achieve it. I bought all similar products on the market. When I took them apart, the principle was simple and clear. I went to no less than 50 companies to brag. Only a few real bosses would understand and raise these questions.
