Wearable sensors are becoming more common, and the demand for these devices has only increased with the growth of the Internet-of-Things (IoT). These wearables range all the way from consumer items like Fitbits to medical devices for hospital patients. To keep up with this demand, designers need a flexible and powerful platform to develop their application quickly and reliably. The OSD335x-SM System-in-Package (SiP), a full Linux computer in the space of a US nickel (or 20 Euro cent piece), is just that platform. Its small form factor, high level of integration, and abundance of open source hardware and software tools make it ideal for developers working on new wearables. The OSD335x small size makes it ideal for space-constrained applications, even pedometer applications like the Fitbit. The rest of this post will show you how easy it is to quickly build your own pedometer prototype using the OSD335x with standard off the shelf components!

As we continue to expand our product offerings and our global footprint, the demands of our customers continue evolve. In order to help us continue to meet and exceed the needs of our evolving customer base, I am proud to announce that we have added Arrow Electronics as a worldwide authorized distributor. Arrow is the world’s largest electronics distributor, with over 20,000 Employees servicing over 200,000 customers around the globe. Arrow brings a global team of highly skilled technical Field Application Engineers (FAEs) to complement our existing stellar sales and support teams. By working to directly support customers and hosting seminars and training, Arrow will enable us to greatly expand our reach, bringing the benefits of System-in-Package to an even larger customer base.
Starting today you will be able to contact your local Arrow representative and ask about Octavo solutions. Arrow will be carrying all of Octavo’s products from the Texas Instruments AM335x based OSD335x family to our newest family the OSD32MP1 based on the new STM32MP1 microprocessor from STMicroelectronics.
“We are excited to have Arrow be a distribution partner of Octavo,” said Harley Walsh, Octavo’s President. “They are a leader in the industry, and they see Octavo and our System-in-Package technology as key to the future of the electronics industry. We can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together.” (Read More…)

As the demands on embedded systems continue to grow, system designers have been forced to move from simple microcontroller-based system designs to more complicated microprocessor designs. This move took designs from a single device with a single power rail to multiple devices requiring sophisticated high-speed routing and complex power sequencing. In order to cope with this increasing complexity many designers have turned to using modules instead of designing discrete microprocessor systems. Modules remove the complexity of working with a microprocessor system. The module will typically include the processor, power management, and all the highspeed signals, removing the need for the designer to deal with these tasks. Using a module means the designer can continue to focus on the parts of the system that truly differentiate their product while getting it to market quicker. (Read More…)
