RidgeRun Hardware Partners Program

Strength in numbers

The RidgeRun Hardware Partners Program is designed to expand the DSPLinux ecosystem, enhance customer time to product release and provide new market opportunities for members.

Additionally, RidgeRun Product Management works closely with partners to integrate third-party hardware and services with the DSPLinux platform, applying a "high-touch" approach to technical integration, co-operative marketing strategies, and alignment of support procedures. Because our partners are closely tied to DSPLinux, and often add functionality vital to meeting market demand, integration strategies are geared toward delivering a product to market and quick turnaround for mutual customers.

RidgeRun is looking for partners capable of providing:

1. Board level design support services
2. Unique and valuable hardware solutions for target markets
3. Manufacture & test solutions
