From December 18 to 19, 2025, the highly anticipated ''CIAA25 - Summit Forum on the Development of Motion Control and Direct-Drive Technology Industry and Award Ceremony'' was held in Shenzhen. As an important ecological partner of the MECHATROLINK Association, Forlinx Embedded was deeply involved in this event, jointly showcasing the innovative achievements and ecological strategies of ''software - hardware integration'' in the fields of industrial communication and motion control.

1. Deepening Ecological Cooperation to Empower Industry Implementation

At this summit forum, the MECHATROLINK Association announced a deep - seated cooperation with Forlinx Embedded. This strategic alliance aims to deeply integrate the new-generation MECHATROLINK-4 protocol into Forlinx Embedded's high-performance SoM platform, jointly create standardized and open development solutions, and promote the rapid popularization and application of motion control technology in multiple industrial scenarios.

Forlinx Embedded's development board products such as OK3588-C and OK-MX9596-C will be the first batch of key hardware platforms to carry the MECHATROLINK - 4 protocol. With their robust computing capabilities, diverse interfaces, and exceptional reliability, these platforms can fully harness the potential of the full-duplex, high-speed, and low-latency communication offered by the MECHATROLINK-4 protocol.

Software - Hardware Integration'' Solution to Accelerate Product Launch for Customers

The core value of this cooperation lies in the rapid deployment of ''software-hardware integration''. For equipment manufacturers in fields such as industrial robots, CNC machine tools, and semiconductor equipment, traditional solutions have long development cycles and high technical thresholds. With the standardized SoMs and development platforms provided by Forlinx Embedded, which are pre - integrated with the MECHATROLINK - 4 master protocol stack, customers can significantly shorten the development time, focus on the innovation of their own processes and applications, truly achieve ''ready - to - use'', and accelerate the product iteration and launch process.

Among the two key solutions demonstrated by the MECHATROLINK Association at the forum, the ''General IPC + Linux Preempt Solution'' is based on a similar hardware platform concept to that of Forlinx Embedded, showcasing its significant advantage of overcoming the limitations of dedicated hardware and reducing the development threshold. What Forlinx Embedded provides is the foundation for transforming this concept into stable, reliable, and mass-deliverable products.

3. Assisting the Intelligent Upgrade of the Industry

Forlinx Embedded has always been dedicated to providing a strong hardware foundation for industrial intelligence. This cooperation with the MECHATROLINK Association is not only a complement of the two parties' technological advantages but also a forward - looking response to market demand. By combining advanced industrial network communication protocols with self - controllable embedded hardware platforms.

In the future, Forlinx Embedded will continue to cooperate closely with the MECHATROLINK Association and other industry partners, continuously optimize the integrated ''protocol + hardware'' solution, jointly address new challenges in the fields of industrial communication and motion control, and drive the digital, networked, and intelligent upgrade of intelligent manufacturing openly and cooperatively, contributing to the development of the global industrial automation industry.
