MediaTek: Producing smartwatches will be as easy as copying a phone
MediaTek released the wearable product development platform LinkIt at the Taipei Computer Show, which provides a complete solution for wearable device developers. The LinkIt platform will use the Aster chip as the core to provide a complete wearable product reference design (the Aster chip was exhibited in April this year, with a chip size of 5×5 mm and integrated microprocessors, Bluetooth and other functional chips). The platform includes hardware reference designs for computing and communication networking functions, as well as a lightweight wearable operating system and interfaces for various network services. This will greatly simplify the product development process and allow developers to focus more on appearance, functions and supporting services. It is understood that products using the LinkIt development platform are compatible with iOS and Android devices when collaborating online. Features of LinkIt platform: Integrate the development platform of Aster SoC, provide complete reference design, highly integrate microprocessor and communication module, and provide various networking functions to simplify the development process; Aster is a SoC designed for wearable and IoT devices, with compact size; Modular software architecture provides developers with high flexibility; Support OTA update of applications, algorithms and drivers, which can be pushed and installed and updated to devices using Aster through mobile phones or computers; Provide plug-in software development kits for Arduino and VisualStudio, and plan to support Eclipse in the fourth quarter of this year; Provide hardware development kits based on LinkIt platform for third-party partners. In the past, MediaTek had relatively comprehensive solutions for feature phones and smart phones. Now the emergence of platforms like LinkIt makes the wearable devices that originally looked slightly high-end become simple in an instant, which will enable more manufacturers to invest in the development and production of wearable devices.
