The company behind popular microprocessor Raspberry Pi is offering an option to customize and mass-produce preferred specifications. Rapid News Network said the offering was a result of the partnership between inventor Eben Upton and his team and long-time collaborator Element14, CNET reported.
“This agreement opens up the opportunity for customers to customise the Raspberry Pi technology platform to better suit specific applications across a wide range of industries – from the Internet of Things to industrial and end customer devices,” the announcement read.
TechCrunch said that under the partnership deal, Element 14 will provide design and manufacturing services to OEMs who prefer tweaking a minimum batch of 3,00 to 5,000 microprocessors to suit their businesses’ needs. The customization service will purportedly include, but not limited to additional IO, integrated power management, and a wireless chip. Customers can also request to have the motherboard re-configure, add or remove headers, and incorporate other functionalities.
