I'm currently prototyping a product using the Raspberry Pi + GPIO. I've often wondered - if the thing makes it to market - how I would substitute the Rpi in mass production (1000+). The SD card is a big point of failure for many Rpi users for example. So storage is probably something I would change.
Does anyone have experience with a mass produced product that used the Rpi in prototypes?
I know element14 is offering Raspberry Pi customization for mass production.
- detaro 8y agoThe compute module has eMMC instead of an SD card, and there should be a few products based around that to look at.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoFor clarification (for those who may not know) the compute module is the version of the Raspberry Pi intended for commercialized use. See: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/compute-module-3/ https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/compute-module-3/
- Kabukks 8y agoI've looked at the compute module. It is positioned as the way to go for mass production - but the price point seems higher than the Rpi as you still need a base board for it to function.
- detaro 8y agoYeah, if you don't have a custom PCB otherwise it's probably not the best fit.
