It\u2019s no secret that Seeed is a keen supporter of Open Source Hardware and the Open Source Community. With our own development boards and modules, we make the design files freely available for designers to develop and integrate into new products. But we also get a lot of requests for other supporting materials such as the list of materials and test documentation. So now, we are steadily releasing the full shebang with Hardware development kits (HDK) for our best-in-shows, starting with the popular Seeeduino XIAO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What use are schematic and Gerber files when you want to\nimplement the entire design in a new product? Without the Bill of Materials\n(BOM), test files and firmware, you have to figure out these things all over\nagain. Now with the Seeed HDKs, save time and use the tested and proven\nblueprints to accelerate your product development. We have even included\nmanufacturing guidelines and notes to maximize yield and avoid those\nmanufacturing pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strength of the open-source community comes from the\nopenness between collaborators. So, in releasing these Hardware Development\nkits, we hope to empower creators with the materials and expertise needed to\naccelerate product development. With our own roots as a maker for makers, it\nwas always our intention for Seeed development boards and modules to be the\nbuilding blocks for tailor-made and specialized solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, introducing our first HDK release,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tiny Arduino development board embedded with the SAMD21\nmicrochip, the interfaces on the Seeeduino XIAO are rich for a board with such\na small form factor, making it ideal for integration into similarly space-constrained\ndevices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
