Kwiinyanga zakutshanje abavelisi abaliqela kunye abathengisi balahlekisile malunga neemveliso zabo. Elona tyala limangalisayo phakathi kwezi yifowuni ephathwayo yaseSpain eyayinophawu lwesitikha ngeSpanish kuphela. Oku kubakhathaza abasebenzisi, uninzi lwabo, kodwa inesisombululo, ubuncinci kwi Hardware Libre.
Isandula ukwenziwa OSHWA, umbutho we Hardware Libre ehambisa isatifiketi sayo ebonisa ukuba kunjalo Hardware Libre. Ke ngokubona esi satifikethi, siyazi ukuba abasikhohlisi ngehardware enayo ibhodi okanye isixhobo.
I-OSHWA ngumbutho ofuna uthotho lweemeko ezivela kubavelisi ukuze kukhutshwe isatifikethi. Ukongeza, emva kokuvuma isiqinisekiso, kwi Indawo ye-OSHWA singazifumana iipleyiti okanye izixhobo ezinesiqinisekiso, ke Singajonga ukuba iyinyani okanye uphawu luyasikhohlisa.
Isatifikethi se-OSHWA sinokusinceda siphephe ubuqhetseba obuzayo
Iimfuno zokuthobela esi satifikethi ziyafana nokwenza komsebenzisi kwi-Hardware ukumisela ukuba simahla okanye akunjalo. Yiyo loo nto iyacelwa uluhlu lwezinto ezisetyenziswayo, isoftware, izicwangciso, iifayile zoyilo, kunye namanye amaxwebhu ayimfuneko ukwenza iimveliso eziphuma kuyo. Yiza, idatha ekufuneka ipapashwe okanye yenziwe esidlangalaleni ukuba ngaba ngokwenene Hardware Libre.
Okwangoku zimbalwa iimveliso ezinesi satifikethi, sinokuthi kuphela iibhodi zeBeagleBone kunye neSparkfun, kodwa kuyinyani ukuba kukho uluhlu olude lweemveliso ezidlulisa olu vavanyo lwesatifikethi. Phakathi kwazo kukho i-Orange Pi okanye i-SBC 96boards, uphawu lwee-minipcs ezithandwa kakhulu mva nje.
Amagama awaziwayo kweli hlabathi, I-Arduino kunye ne-Raspberry Pi, kunokwenzeka ukuba iphele iyidlula, nangona kunjalo asazi nto malunga nabo kwaye ekubeni i-OSHWA yakutshanje, abadali bayo basenokungabi namdla kwesi satifikethi. Nangona kufuneka sitsho ukuba umbutho onjalo kunye nesatifikethi sinomdla kakhulu kwaye akunakuba kubi ukuba siphelele hardware libre sidlule kuyo, ukuze sazi ukuba bayasilahlekisa okanye abasikhohlisi.
