1. Reference Design - 公版

Reference design refers to a technical blueprint of a system that is intended for others to copy. It contains the essential elements of the system; however, third parties may enhance or modify the design as required. When discussing computer designs, the concept is generally known as a reference platform.
參考設計是指系統的技術藍圖，供其他人複製。它包含系統的基本要素。但是，第三方可以根據需要增強或修改設計。在討論計算機設計時，該概念通常被稱爲參考平臺。

The main purpose of reference design is to support companies in development of next generation products using latest technologies. The reference product is proof of the platform concept and is usually targeted for specific applications. Reference design packages enable a fast track to market thereby cutting costs and reducing risk in the customer’s integration project.
參考設計的主要目的是支持公司使用最新技術開發下一代產品。參考產品是平臺概念的證明，通常針對特定應用。參考設計包可以快速進入市場，從而降低成本並降低客戶集成項目的風險。

As the predominant customer for reference designs are OEM’s, many reference designs are created by technology component vendors, whether hardware or software, as a means to increase the likelihood that their product will be designed into the OEM’s product, giving them a competitive advantage.
由於參考設計的主要客戶是 OEM，許多參考設計由技術組件供應商 (無論是硬件還是軟件) 創建，作爲增加其產品設計到 OEM 產品中的可能性的手段，從而爲他們提供競爭優勢。
