What Is Digital Test Drive?

Digital Test Drive is a powerful tool from Arrow that enables developers to remotely access and use numerous hardware evaluation boards from many leading manufacturers. Once logged in through an internet browser, users can interact with IDEs for board programming and follow progress with a real-time camera feed. Because the board inventory is stored in a centralized location, anyone can access it anytime, from anywhere.

How Does Digital Test Drive Work?

After signing up for Digital Test Drive, users will receive a private link that connects their browser to a cloud-based virtual machine. From there, they can control physical evaluation kits, use engineering software environments and view the board's operation via a live camera feed. They can also request that a technical expert join the session remotely, for guidance or training.
