The 2nd generation of Production Line Tool designed for Linux device programming and testing

Program your Linux or 32-bit device - use JTAG, SWD, UART, USB or directly flash microSD cards, verified support for loads of MCU targets.

Programmable power to your device under test (1.8V, 3.3V, 5V, variable up to 24V).

Digital multimeter (DMM) functionality controlled by software.

Production Line Tool for Linux (added on 9/16)

Aircraft-grade aluminum enclosure - tough, lightweight, and highly recyclable.

PLT-OS is hardened Linux distribution, purpose built for the production line.

Secure connection to your cloud backend via PLTcloud.

Simple

iF Design Award - Manufacturing is not easy and we designed the PLT-300A to be intuitive for the line manager setting it up and the operator using it, wherever they may be on the planet. Our efforts were recognized with a product design award from iF.

Secure

Blue Clover is a member of the ioXt Alliance and are in the process of certifying the PLT-300A.

Sustainable

Climate Neutral - Through our support of Climate Neutral we measure, reduce, and offset all carbon emitted to make PLTs and maintain the PLTcloud backend. We are working hard to reduce the environmental cost of all electronic devices with the 10 ways outlined in our Better Devices Manifesto. The PLT-300A relieves pressure to send engineers to distant production site for setup and troubleshooting.
