Interactive design hub

Thursday, 14 July, 2011

Premier Farnell in London has launched the element14 knode, an online design platform exclusively focused on the needs of electronic design engineers.

It provides one interface to a world of engineering design solutions and supports the design flow from concept to final production and it enables engineers to research, design, develop and prototype manufacture in a single environment.

Based on an engineer’s initial specification it automates the creation of explicit dependencies and interrelationships with other system level components to quickly build a custom design flow - whether it be development kits, design tools, operating systems and stacks, intellectual property or services such as PCB design and manufacture.

These have all been integrated into one place: the element14 knode - KNOwledge for Design Engineers.

The services offered include: search automation and configuration for project specific design flows; development platforms and kits; operating systems and stacks; development and CAD tools; PCB services and test solutions; an online ‘learning centre’.

Roadmap features will follow in future releases.

A video introduction to the element14 knode is available on the website.
