It will drive all the small players out of the equation. If someone keeps rising the bar, this is what will happen. But how do you do that when nobody wants to budge or compromise? There is zero doubt in my mind that innovation would skyrocket if we could only somehow get the industry to collectively embrace open standards. Even programming microcontrollers in assembly is better because they’re so well documented. Its been this way for a long time and if anything this has been holding back vibrant hacker subculture. As someone who enjoys the ARM SBC scene and hacking on them, the proprietary nature of ARM has got to be one of the biggest pains in the ass. I don’t understand your point here at all. And with that, they created one of the most vibrant hacker subcultures in the last decade, one that keeps on giving. I fail to see how restricting the market to a handful of manufacturers geared to supply only businesses, that will be free to rise costs to infinity, restrict access to manuals and technical documentation and create barriers like “certifications processes” and “educational courses” (and making it the only way to get development tools at a affordable price tag)…Īll these fine SBC small workshops providing even schematics for free, is based entirely on the fact that the entry barrier to use ARM SoCs are low.
