DragonBoard 410c development kit in the works

Qualcomm has teamed up with Microsoft's Windows 10 to create a DragonBoard 410c development kit.

The big idea is that it will help both the companies develop Internet of Things projects.

Qualcomm will support Windows 10 in its DragonBoard 410c development board, which is powered through the company's Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor.

The DragonBoard is a high performance, low cost ARM board, which has capabilities that can outperform quite a lot of board on the market. The board comes equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

It can power up Windows 10 operating systems even if it is tiny and could be used to power a range of machines like robots, camera, medical devices, wearable tech, vending machines, and casino gaming machines.

Qualcomms  senior vice president of products Jason Bremner said that Qualcomm Technologies continues to offer the mobile device and development community the foundation and resources they need to build their portfolio of Windows devices across smartphones, tablets and IoE applications.

"We are thrilled to demo DragonBoard 410c running Windows 10 IoT at WinHEC. DragonBoard 410c is an ARMv8-based development platform which is designed to support a wide array of embedded computing and IoE devices, drivers and application development."

 

Internet of things

Microsoft representative, Kevin Dallas stated that the company is quite hopeful to develop the Internet of Things with their advanced Azure cloud platform.

Dallas stated that having Qualcomm's developer board will help device builders to make new services based on the cloud, which will let the IoT phenomenon progress in the future.

"Combining Windows 10 with the performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processors will help the ecosystem realize robust, feature-rich use cases and enable developers to quickly commercialise their hardware products," he said.
