Prototype development is where hardware design, software design and mechanical design efforts come together to provide an engineering first article that can be bench tested and checked for manufacturability issues. Colorado Digital Labs can create prototypes at various design stages, providing tools that assist in the overall development and evaluation effort.
Our goal is to create engineering prototypes that are as close to the physical final product as possible. In fact, many of our customers have taken our initial prototypes and put them directly into production.When a product development effort includes a large amount of software, and hardware issues have not been finalized, it's important to get target hardware quickly so that the code and algorithms can be tested. One option is to obtain third party development kits that provide evaluation boards using a compatible processor for this early development. If not, custom board support packages can be created to provide this capability.
