2017 - Gordon Kruberg, Gumstix CEO, inventor of the HDMI Stick at Linaro Connect - October 9
Gordon Kruberg, President, CEO and Founder of Gumstix Inc. In 2004, they
launched the world's first HDMI Stick Computer and they also invented
the first SOM running Linux and computers were officially introduced
with Gumstix first motherboard alongside the Waysmall computer, about
the size of a stick of gum. Apple bought many of these to do their
initial testing of iOS on ARM to try to have a smooth UI to work on ARM
early. Gumstix now has an online tool called https://geppetto.gumstix.com/ that allows users to design their own PCB boards which can be used in combination with boards from TechNexion: http://armdevices.net/category/compan... and Toradex: http://armdevices.net/category/compan...,
and in 2013 it started a crowd-funding service to allow a group of
users that want to get a custom design manufactured to share the costs
to start manufacturing any new PCB idea. A new PCB idea can be made
through Gumstix Gepetto for a $2000 setup manufacturing fee then
payments for each board. They estimate that any project needing to
design and manufacture custom PCB boards in quantities lower than 20
thousand pieces, that they are providing the most cost effective and
fastest time to market.
