Does anyone know the process for how an Arm-based product is developed and then mass-produced?
I've been researching the PogoPlug ethernet+usb+arm device, and it's really cool that they're something like $20 a pop nowadays. What would you suspect the cost per unit to have been when they first did their production run? I saw a price sticker on one indicating they retailed at $100 originally so maybe there isn't some Kirkland magic going on that puts the board + case at below the cost of most SoC dev boards.
If you were going to go to market with an arm-based product of your own, what would your starting point be that allowed you to develop from day one, but also be easy to go into production with?
