Prototyping using konashi/koshian also gives advantages to mass production of products.
Various microcomputer board platforms are currently on the market, but due to the poor availability of the chips mounted on the microcomputer boards, we have no choice but to change the chips when moving from prototypes to mass production boards. There have been cases of makers going into production where they had to redesign from scratch with a new chip.
On the other hand, using konashi/koshian can clear this problem. The reason is as follows.

・Equipped with BCM20737S, a SiP module with an antenna, as koshian's core BLE chip. (Available at Macnica Online Store)

・Technical Conformity has been acquired for the chip alone. If the BCM20737S is used as it is on the mass production board, there is no need to redesign the antenna.

・Because the same chip can be used from prototyping to mass production boards, inheritance of designs is possible.

By prototyping using konashi/koshian from the above features, you can develop more smoothly until mass production of products. By flexibly using konashi, koshian+small expansion board, koshian, and BCM20737S according to the development stage of the product, development can proceed while balancing price, size, and design flexibility.
