Launch of USB-SD-Mux
When Pengutronix introduced the USB-SD-Mux in 2017 at the Embedded Linux Conference in Prague, the hard work had just begun:
- A company which could sell the device was needed, and so Linux Automation GmbH was founded in 2019.
- A shop system was needed, which should have a comfortable hacker-compatible workflow, and which had to be set up.
- In the meantime the USB-SD-Mux failed the first EMC measurements and it needed a redesign. But we finally made it on the second try.
Right now, the first batch has left the production site and is up for sale, ready to help you with your embedded development.
Thanks for your patience!
