Freescale wants to kickstart DIY wearables with new Warp development kit Jan 6th 2014, 14:18, by Agam Shah LAS VEGAS—Freescale Semiconductor wants users to develop and test their own wearable devices with a mini-computer. With the Warp development kit, users can make smart glasses, smart watches, pedometers, health monitors and other wearable devices, the company said Monday. The Warp includes a small uncased computer, which is slightly larger than a dime, through which wearable devices can be developed and tested before release. The kit is targeted at the do-it-yourself community and device makers looking to prototype and develop products, Freescale said. "Companies can use this platform as a basis for their own wearable product and invest their resources into innovation and differentiation instead," said Robert Thompson, director of consumer business development for microcontrollers at Freescale.
