Operation is intuitive and automatic.

First, define your requirements by answering a few simple questions about desired processing performance, hardware capabilities, operating systems, supported application segments, and preferred manufacturing methods.

Interactive Block Diagrams
The Smart-Match tool then provides an interactive block diagram for the suggested reference configuration for your product. Then by selecting building blocks on the block diagram, you will receive a list of Intel PCA Developer Network members with relevant development solutions in categories including:

• Intel� PCA Applications Processors
• Other hardware
• Developer Kits
• Software Applications
• Software Development Tools
• Manufacturing and design resources

Each block diagram represents a specific platform configuration that is supported by Intel and third-party solutions from Intel PCA Developer Network Solutions Catalog.

As an example, the Smart-Match tool can produce a list of vendors capable of providing an audio codec to work with the Intel� StrongARM* microprocessor running the Linux* operating system. The Smart-Match tool could also provide a list of manufacturers who could assist with final product production.

For added convenience, the Smart-Match Reference Configuration Tool will provide vendor reports in the form of exportable spreadsheet files.
