Survey of Open Hardware 2016
summary
Overview of concrete developments: OSHWA publishes a self‑certification and registry with a numbered ID and complaint‑driven enforcement (OSHWA certification), Arduino reconciles split, Raspberry Pi remains closed at the gerber level (Raspberry Pi is not open hardware), CHIP ships as a $9 SBC after a ~$2M Kickstarter and moves the eMMC controller into the CPU to cut BOM cost (CHIP $9 board), Google joins Open Compute, low‑cost medical sensors and 3D‑printed prosthetics scale, and KiCad gains differential pair routing but high‑speed PCB work still lags (KiCad differential routing).
