ARM Wall of Boards, EW2016: Enabled by mbed

This is the third in a four part series on the ARM® Wall of Boards at Embedded World 2016.

Today, I’ll present the 40 plus ARM mbed Enabled™ boards we have on the wall this year. If you’re not yet familiar with the ARM mbed™ IoT Device Platform, head over to mbed.com and check it out. ARM mbed provides an operating system, cloud services, tools and developer ecosystem to support creation and deployment of commercial IoT at scale. There has been a lot going on with mbed over the past year, highlighted by the release of the Technology Preview version of mbed OS at ARM Techcon 2015. There’s much more to come, but for now I had a brief chat with Phill Smith ( phillsmith), Senior Marketing Manager:

Eric: 44 mbed enabled boards! Is that all of them, and what does that say about the mbed ecosystem?

Phill: This is just a small selection of boards chosen to show the diversity of our silicon ecosystem and some of the connectivity technologies now supported by mbed.  If you attended ARM TechCon there was a similar display which hosted over 80 different mbed Enabled boards.  With new partners regularly joining the ecosystem, including cloud, silicon and general ecosystem partnerships, the list of hardware supported is constantly increasing. For an up to date list of mbed supported hardware please have a look at our ever expanding platforms page (https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/).

Eric: If I look at the mbed Partnership page, I see a lot more than just chip companies – where do some of these other partners come into the mbed story?

Phill: The Internet of Things requires more than just chips, it consists of everything from edge node devices through to cloud services.  mbed partners include companies in the cloud, silicon and wider IoT ecosystem to provide a complete IoT offering to developers. This complete end-to-end approach, with secure managed low power devices, gateways, connectivity services and cloud analytics provided by partners, helps accelerate product development and time to market.  By including a wide spectrum of partners in the mbed Enabled program our developers are able to choose the optimal components for their end products.

Eric: Where is the mbed Enabled program going? Is it still just boards?

Phill: The mbed Enabled program is designed to ensure products carrying the badge have met our quality standards.  Developers and consumers can rely on this badge with confidence. All mbed Enabled products are compatible and have been through rigorous testing.  The mbed Enabled designation can be applied to any partner products including development boards, components, all the way through to commercial end products.
