The watches Omate TrueSmart, is a complete wrist smartphone on chipset MediaTek MT6572, collected by Kickstarter.
Within MediaTek Labs is very easy and profitable to solve access to the components, hardware-based upcoming project. Talking about "complete hardware developer» (HDK): for $ 79 you can buy a platform LinkIt One , includes its own chipset MediaTek Aster (MT2502) on ARM7 kernel modules Wi-Fi (MT5931) and GPS (MT3332), the operating system kernel-based LinkIt RTOS, a means for adding sensors, and so forth. In short, everything you need to start modeling your smart watches or quadrocopter.
The site MediaTek Labs (registration is free) is a forum where there are both professionals and developers, and engineers of the MediaTek. Share their experiences and advice, and at no charge. On that site, you can download "software development kit» (SDK), created in MediaTek and focused on creating software for wearable electronics and Internet things, as well as all the necessary technical documentation. For example, include information about 100% supported electronic
components.
But that's not all. MediaTek Labs allows you to build your team - including from scratch.
The most curious thing is that MediaTek Labs account not only enthusiasts, but also component manufacturers, telecommunications companies, design-houses (they can help with the design and engineering), manufacturers of sensors and other components. All of them, as well as herself MediaTek, closely watching what is happening and, say, look for talents.
No doubt, Samsung, and Intel, and Qualcomm offer their solutions for the Internet things and wearable electronics. But none of these companies is focused on simple single developers.
