The Journey from Smartphone to Community Board
Maker Faire Bay Area 2016
May 20th-22nd
Join us to explore Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processor’s journey from smartphone to community development board with the DragonBoard™ 410c by Arrow Electronics. It started with a tool for hardware component vendors, and thanks to the collaboration with outside innovators, from university professors to startups, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. went down a path that led to putting the processing power and efficiency of a smartphone in the hands of makers. We’ll be highlighting some projects from beginner to advanced to give you a taste of what you can create with a DragonBoard 410c.
