@arduino with its VP, Manny Singh:
bit.ly/Tantras-Mantra
Manny & I cover:
00:00 - Intro
04:14 - Challenges of the IoT industry (diverse & fragmented), How
$qcom scaling to address them
09:10 - How
#AI is changing & supercharging
#IoT &
#EdgeAI ecosystem
12:00 - IoT / Edge AI still largely classic
#AI /
#ML, evolving to
#GenAI
13:56 - How does
#Arduino fit into Qualcomm's IoT,
#IIoT strategy
17:34 -
#Qualcomm's approach to using Arduino's existing hardware platform - similar to
#UNOQ?
19:09 - Reasoning behind Arduino acquisition vs. partnership - Better integration, roadmap alignment, community strategy, & more
21:50 - What will and will not change for the ecosystem/ developers
22:55 - Value of the acquisition to
@Qualcomm - Direct/Indirect, short/long term
25:14 - How Arduino fits with
@EdgeImpulse,
#QualcommAIHUB,
#Aware, & other platforms
30:50 - Integration between these platforms - Complexity, timelines, & evolution
31:51 - How will Qualcomm incentivize Arduino ecosystem for broader adoption of its chipsets
33:56 - Working with the
#EdgeAIFoundation, & how that helps the ecosystem
36:32 - Allying the fears of Arduino
#developers who are mostly small, using simple microcontrollers with an "Open source spirit."
38:26 - Closing
