Tiivistelmä
Sasken Finland Oy is a design and engineering firm specialising in global and domestic design and development of hardware and software products. In the development of its projects Sasken uses Lab PC’s every day from which to help develop its prototypes. These Lab PC’s are therefore an important and integral tool for all engineers within Sasken. A desire to create a more versatile and portable sys-tem led to the idea behind this thesis.
Within this thesis the author focuses mainly upon the designing of a Lab PC with a Raspberry Pi as its base. The author firstly establishes the needs and requirements before moving on to describe and dis-cuss the Raspberry Pi and its suitability. The author then takes a look at some of the suitable hardware available from which to expand it, and the software possibilities, based upon the established require-ments. The author also produces a basic proof of concept prototype and gives some examples of its possible uses. Finally, the author evaluates the practicality of creating such a system and offers ideas on further research and development of the prototype produced within it.
