The resulting open-source hardware platforms bridge desktop and embedded development, allowing developers to design to their specificationand collaborate with the open source community on creative new applications.
SanDisk is currently sampling CFast2.0 memory cards to camera manufacturers as they designand optimize their next-generation host devices for the new specification.
This shift in thinking around the nature of the relationship and the potential value derived from it (that competitive edge) has them engaging earlier in their process, at the conception and architecture design phase of their projects, rather than once they have the specification developed.
