SPARC, the PCB That Tries to Avoid Starting Over
SPITA Labs is developing a reusable hardware platform with swappable cards and software-configurable connections for defense and autonomous-systems R&D.
Field notes
The proposed workflow separates a persistent baseboard from smaller replaceable cards, so a team could change selected capabilities without discarding the whole platform. The visible hardware work centers on an interposer, with connectors facing a main logic board that remains in development. SPITA reports partial silicon checks using overclocked I2C and SPI, but identifies integrated system validation, wider interface coverage, and customer benefits as work still to be established.
