Building a hyper modular framework for hardware
The article discusses the development of a hyper-modular hardware framework aimed at creating flexible computing devices. It contrasts two approaches to hardware production: large-scale manufacturing versus small-batch production with iterative feedback. The author emphasizes the challenges of designing hardware in a volatile market and presents a customizable system based on the Pico-ITX form factor.
- ▪The hyper-modular framework allows for flexibility in hardware design while maintaining compatibility.
- ▪Recent fluctuations in component prices have increased risks in hardware production.
- ▪The Pico-ITX form factor is chosen for its adaptability in creating mini-PCs and smart hubs.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Building a Flexible, Future-Proof Compute SystemMehrdad Majzoobi30 minutes ago6 min readRated NaN out of 5 stars.A hyper-modular hardware frameworkThere are two schools of thought in hardware.The first is what companies like Juicero and Humane followed: raise hundreds of millions of dollars and tool up to ship hundreds of thousands of units, before anyone knows whether people actually want to buy them at that scale yet. It's a "go big or bust" pitch that sells well to investors and works occasionally — most consumer electronics ship this way — but the failure mode is brutal.The second is to build in small batches, ship, get feedback, and ramp up gradually. This sounds obvious, but it's much harder in practice than in software.
