  • Integrated electronic design automation system
    Patent number: 9411923
    Abstract: An electronic design automation system combines features of discrete EDA/CAD systems and manufacturing systems into a monolithic system to enable a layperson to efficiently design, construct and have manufactured a specific class of custom electronic device, namely a computer processing unit with embedded software. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is provided as the front-end to a Computer Aided Design (CAD) server that generates sophisticated control and manufacturing instructions that are delivered to a fabrication supply chain, which produces a specified device that is then transported via managed logistics into inventory and ordering systems at vendors for delivery to a designated customer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016
    Assignee: Gumstix, Inc.
    Inventors: Walter Gordon Kruberg, Neil C. MacMunn
