PHYTEC provides a hardware platform that supports FoundriesFactory. Leveraging the hardware and software partnership, the following benefits can be realized throughout your development process:
- Evaluation Stage
- FoundriesFactory enables users to build Yocto based operating systems
- Utilizing FoundriesFactory build servers can save a significant amount of effort, bandwidth and cost
- With containerized applications and demos, a proof of concept or prototype can be created seamlessly
- Deploy and test on multiple different platforms
- Straightforward transition from evaluation board to a production solution such as the PHYTEC SOM
- Development Stage
- Hardware rapidly changes during development; FoundriesFactory allows for revision control and logs a history of builds. This is key especially when working in a geographically distributed development teams
- Focus engineering resources on applications, services, and value-added IP without the worry of underlying firmware platform and operating system
- Production Stage
- Increased security (from the first boot onwards)
- Simplified building and deployment of secured IoT devices and fleets
- Traceability of Software versioning (CVE management) and fleet management
- Lifecycle Management
- PHYTEC emphasizes long term availability of hardware for 15+ years. FoundriesFactory enables the same longevity for your Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to make sure devices and fleets stay up to date
- New Project Development
- The PHYTEC SOM can operate as a common platform. In new project development, existing FoundriesFactory versions can be leveraged to accelerate future projects
- Or, ready for an upgrade? It is easy to transition to another PHYTEC product with FoundriesFactory
