Compliance, Production and Capstone Design

10 Lektionen in dieser Stufe

1. Writing a Product Requirements Specification
   Capture functional, environmental, regulatory and lifetime requirements. · Lab: Write the specification for the monitoring gateway with measurable acceptance criteria.
2. CE, UKCA and FCC: What Applies to a Pi-Based Product
   Identify the directives and standards relevant to your product and market. · Lab: Map your gateway to the applicable directives and list the evidence each needs.
3. Radio Compliance with Pre-Certified Modules
   Use a module's certification correctly and know what voids it. · Lab: Review your antenna and enclosure choices against the module's integration conditions.
4. EMC Pre-Compliance Checks on the Bench
   Find emission problems before paying for a test lab. · Lab: Sniff your prototype with a near-field probe and SDR and fix the loudest source.
5. Electrical Safety, Enclosures and IP Ratings
   Choose insulation, fusing, enclosure and ingress protection for the environment. · Lab: Select an enclosure and rating for the gateway and run a temperature-rise test.
6. Open-Source Licence Obligations and a Software Bill of Materials
   Ship open-source software legally and know what is inside your image. · Lab: Generate a software bill of materials for your image and list each licence obligation.
7. Vulnerability Handling and Security Update Commitments
   Plan disclosure, patching and support periods expected by current regulation. · Lab: Write a vulnerability-handling policy and a support-period statement for your product.
8. Bill of Materials, Costing and Lifecycle Planning
   Cost the product and plan for part obsolescence. · Lab: Build a costed bill of materials at 10, 100 and 1000 units with alternates for risky parts.
9. Factory Provisioning and End-of-Line Testing
   Design the station that programs, tests and labels each unit. · Lab: Write an end-of-line script that flashes, tests every interface, provisions identity and prints a label.
10. Running a Design Review with a Risk Register
    Challenge the design systematically before committing to build. · Lab: Hold a review against a checklist and record risks with owner and mitigation.
