Several Key Challenges Facing Our Industry We are at a unique inflection point in the semiconductor industry. On one hand, the physical manifestation of Moore’s Law has given us devices with amazing capabilities. On the other hand, as an industry we are struggling to continue down that path as power consumption, density and other physical […]
A little over a year ago, I wrote a blog article called “The Tipping Point”. It was focused on the recent announcement of our QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative and the reasons why I thought it made a lot of sense for QuickLogic to embrace open source development tools and platforms. At the time […]
As we discussed on several of our previous earnings calls over the past year, we have undertaken multiple strategic initiatives to broaden the served markets for our programmable logic and to do so in a more scalable way. Initially, this started with the announcement of our QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative, which resulted in […]
Today, together with Crowd Supply and SparkFun, we announced the next generation of QuickFeather called SparkFun Thing Plus – QuickLogic EOS S3. This new development kit is being manufactured and sold by SparkFun, a popular online retailer of electronic kits and components, and will launch exclusively on Crowd Supply, a well-known online distribution platform.
