Altium , Inc., a leading developer of unified electronic product development solutions, has released Altium's innovative electronic design platform.

Altium's innovative electronic design platform is the combination of the highly acclaimed Altium Designer unified electronic design software and the newly expanded Altium reconfigurable hardware platform NanoBoard series. The combination of the two creates a complete electronic design environment that places device intelligence at the heart of the design process. Through uninterrupted design innovation, new products can help designers create truly sustainable product competitive advantages.

Altium's innovative electronic design platform continues the benefits of Altium's unified electronic design, giving designers the ability to go beyond traditional point design tools.

Altium's innovative electronic design platform allows designers to design in the soft realm without having to predetermine the hardware platform of the product. Through an integrated environment, they can use low-cost, high-performance programmable devices to create and implement product intelligence for a sustainable product competitive advantage. They then use Altium Designer's desktop-class NanoBoard reconfigurable hardware development platform to quickly and easily test, analyze, and debug designs. With a reconfigurable, innovative electronic design platform, designers can compare the performance advantages of different FPGAs and make choices without changing the design.

The designer then applied the selected FPGA to the new deployment NanoBoard series. Deploying Nanoboards is an off-the-shelf hardware option designed to allow designers to deploy as physical hardware without the need to build any custom hardware. With or without design intelligence and physical hardware, designers can take into account the various execution possibilities of their designs.

After the initial design and development, Altium's innovative electronic design platform also gives designers the following advantages: protecting intellectual property, retaining source files, and designing devices and new "ecosystems" in a variety of ways in the future. Connected.

Important advantages:
• Design IP into the system, not on the board.
Such an IP is easier to protect (source code is not released with the product, so it is difficult to copy).
Soft design can be done before the hardware platform is designed.
The soft design can continue after the hardware design is completed.
The soft design can continue after the hardware is manufactured.
The soft design can continue after the hardware reaches the end customer.
The aesthetics achieved in a soft design can be changed after the product is manufactured and deployed.
Soft design lays the foundation for connecting the "ecosystem" of customers and suppliers through devices.

"Overall, the driving force behind the electronics industry and product development has been changing," said Martin Martin, CEO of Altium. "And, this process of change has been accelerating, not slowing down. Manufacturing globalization, especially low cost. The commercialization of high-quality manufacturing has caused large companies to lose any price or time-to-market advantages. The lowest prices and the first entry into the market are no longer able to escort continued success."

"To achieve a sustainable competitive advantage in the future, products must be smarter and more intuitive, and build long-term relationships between manufacturers and customers through products."

"In the past seven years, Altium has invested more than 1,000 man-years to create a new electronic design approach that builds an intelligent electronic product development and physical board design. System. Complete intelligent design in a design solution."

"Altium is committed to helping all organizations put device intelligence at the center of the design process. Soft aesthetics and product interface development can be a key part of the product design and implementation process. Hard aesthetics is part of the overall brand experience, not As the key to achieving a competitive advantage in the product. After all, any physical form is easy to copy!"

"Although the old-fashioned electronic design approach -- which first developed the hardware platform and then the soft functionality on the platform -- was very popular in the past, it must now give way to the new generation of electronic design methods."

"This new approach begins with the soft element design of the electronic system and places it at the center of the entire design process."

Altium's innovative electronic design platform, including the latest release of Altium Designer, the desktop-level development NanoBoard, and the new deployment of the NanoBoard, will be released globally this month.

The combination of the hardware development and deployment platform NanoBoard series provides a single design environment for creating sustainable competitive advantages for electronic design products. The combination of the two allows electronic designers to focus on device intelligence design, increase product value, and drive product innovation.

Altium Designer's all-in-one design environment allows users to take full advantage of the potential of the latest electronics technology and move to the use of "soft" design methods without the need to learn additional programmable technology expertise. It abandons the separate design flow of the old design tradition and unifies the design of hardware, software, and programmable hardware.

Altium's NanoBoard family of reconfigurable hardware platforms enables the development and deployment of device intelligence based on programmable devices such as FPGAs. Altium's NanoBoard architecture is unique because it includes a range of programmable devices on plug-in FPGA daughter boards and interchangeable peripheral boards. Deploying NanoBoard provides designers with a versatile reconfigurable development platform that is independent of FPGA selection. In the near future, deploying NanoBoard will enable the rapid development of the ultimate hardware design process—without the need to complete hardware design constraints early in the design process.
