Will Altium provide the design-platform to OS's other than MS windows ? Posted on March 08, 2011 at 2:39 AM

OK, so where is the WiFi drivers? Altium only has the USB peripheral IP. Posted on March 25, 2011 at 11:56 PM

Glad you enjoyed the webinar. This is an exciting time for connected device development. LG has recently announced a connected appliance technology called THINQ(http://www.techtalkforums.co.cc/2011/01/lg-links-home-appliances-with-wifi/). Check it out. -- Bob Posted on March 29, 2011 at 12:47 PM

With respect to OS support, Altium does not have plans beyond MS OS's. Linux users can use Wine (www.winehq.org) to run Altium Designer as another option. -- Bob Posted on March 29, 2011 at 12:51 PM

Altium currently has Wifi support through a USB port with streaming video and the software stack. The motivation for this approach was to leverage the NanoBoard 3000. The NanoBoard 3000 can be used as a prototype platform for Wifi, ethernet or 3G development. More connectivity IP is on the way. -- Bob Posted on March 29, 2011 at 12:55 PM
