Hardware Ecosystem Initiatives 1 2 3 4 5 6 Increase Selection of Components Verify Components Earlier in Development Cycle Make it Easier to Find Parts Help Vendors to Sell Into Ecosystem Help Vendors to Better Support OEMs Support Various Platforms 2
1 Increase Selection of Components Add new types of components to the Preferred Vendor List Verify parts with 3 rd parties to increase verification capacity 3
PVL Component Types Supported Were Increased Accelerometer Ambient Light Sensor Auto Focus Balun Buck Camera Coupler CTP Diplexer Display Front End Module Gesture Sensor GPS Low Noise Amplifier Gyroscope Load Switch Low Pass Filter Magnetometer Memory NFC Antenna Power Inductor Pressure Sensor Proximity Sensor RF Antenna Switch Module RF Duplexer RF Power Amplifier RF PAM RF SAW RF Switch TCXO and Crystal USB Type-C WiFi Bandpass Filter 4
Verification by Third Parties Increases Capacity Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Third-Party Labs Location North America, China China, Europe Affiliation Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Suppliers working with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Components All Focused Subset Scope Drivers, Tuning, Testing, Customer Support Drivers, Tuning, Testing 5
2 Verify Components Earlier in the Development Cycle Customer Input Vendor Product Roadmaps QTI Product Roadmaps Strategic Component Roadmap Driver Development Verification Scheduling Verification Testing Place on PVL Customer Input Customer Input Vendor Input Strategic Component Roadmap helps support early alignment between vendors and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. 6
3 Make it Easier to Find Parts Enhanced Online PVL (GCDB) GCDB (Global Components Database): Global, searchable online catalog of Hardware Components being offered by Third-Party vendors (https://createpoint.qti.qualcomm.com) Access: QTI chipset licensees Chipsets: Various tiers supported Component types: 30 major types (as of August 2015) Components tested: 1,000+ parts (as of August 2015) Pin-to-pin compatibility: Shown for I 2 C Sensors and RF parts User Interface: English and Simplified Chinese Export: One-Touch full PVL generation in Excel Search: By component attribute and string-based Drivers: Download links provided Source: Qualcomm CreatePoint screen shot 7
4 Help Vendors to Sell Into Ecosystem Bottleneck Revised Approach Only verified by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Third-party verification AMSS code not available to vendors License AMSS code to certain vendors for evaluation and testing Development test units not available to vendors Make these units available for purchase by certain vendors 8
5 Help Vendors to Better Support OEMs Barrier Revised Approach Simulation models not available to vendors Release simulation models to vendors AMSS code not available to vendors License AMSS code to certain vendors for evaluation, testing, and support Development test units not available to vendors Make these units available for purchase by certain vendors Vendor Field Application Engineering (FAE) staff not fully trained on Qualcomm solutions Train FAE staff, where appropriate 9
