ADLINK announced a partnership with Altium to offer an automated SMARC carrier design process.

The two companies plan to do so by leveraging Upverter, a web-based drag-and-drop designer tool.

The tool is rather simple and does not require many engineering skills. This gives users the ability to create SMARC based carrier board design within hours and receive prototypes within weeks.

According to a company press release, Upverter generates the electrical design files of fully custom-defined carrier board designs on demand, as well as an instant Bill of Materials (BOM) complete with pricing, a customized device tree, documentation, and mechanical models.

ADLINK's design ecosystem, I-Pi SMARC, accelerates industrial grade AIoT/IoT hardware development with standardized modular building blocks. It is available for SMARC modules based on NXP's IMX8M and i.MX8M Plus, in addition to Rockchip's PX30.
