Open standards foster collaboration between like-minded companies focused on developing an open specification solving a specific embedded computing industry need. Members range from small technology specialists to the largest publicly traded companies in Silicon Valley. Core values of open standards include consensus, interoperability, vendor neutrality, and accessibility, enabling HW/SW systems to communicate seamlessly.
In the embedded computing ecosystem, there are several industry standards bodies. Attendees will learn about several key industry standards bodies. SGET focuses their efforts on MCU and FPGA-based applications. PICMG mainly focuses on high performance. VITA focuses on real-time, modular critical embedded computing systems. These and others are complementary and essential.
As open standards typically define electromechanical system architectures, connector definition and selection remain a crucial and important part of the standards development process. They are the “Mortar Between the Bricks.” During the webinar, an overview of Samtec opens standards will be presented. Additionally, the presenter will explore the flexibility of open-pin-field arrays that simplify adoption in open standards.
