Farnell launches The DevKit HQ for embedded evaluation boards, kits, and tools
Farnell, an Avnet company, has launched The DevKit HQ, a new online resource that brings together evaluation boards, development kits, single board computers (SBCs), tools and technical documents in one place.
A recent survey of engineering professionals found that finding the right development kit is a big challenge, with many engineers relying on kits to explore new technologies before starting projects. The survey also revealed that engineers value standard interfaces and extensibility, often combining or modifying multiple kits to build prototypes and proof-of-concept designs.
The DevKit HQ addresses these needs by providing a single destination to discover, compare and select solutions from leading semiconductor and hardware suppliers.
The site enables engineers to quickly find the latest development kits and modular solutions by application, along with available demo and application software. Engineers can also easily locate evaluation boards that match a supplier’s product family or series.
Additionally, the site features each kit’s datasheets, application notes, training videos, reference designs and more. Together, these resources help engineers accelerate design decisions and drive innovation across various applications, including AI, IoT, sensors, wireless, motor control and power management.
“Our mission is to make life easier for design engineers,” said Daniel Ford, Vice President of Sales at Farnell Global. “With The DevKit HQ, we’ve created the leading destination where they can search development kits by application as well as explore new technologies, experiment with the latest kits, and move from idea to prototype faster, freeing up more time to focus on innovation.
