I am not sure what they mean by indigenous like I stated, VLSI design or just a programmed SOC with BRE440 or something similar. BRE440 is also a programmable SOC. In 200 gm with all the paraphernalia. We can also call it indigenous as the programmed SOC i unlike any other in the world. Have a look at raspberry pi. It's a good SOC which is as good as a 50k computer bought in 2008. The NDTV interview clearly has Dr Sarawat stating the programming is indigenous. I take that to mean the SOC will be equipped with our software nothing more. Also the batches noted could be SOC assembled in PCB's with connectors and endpoints for linking into the rest of the sensors. If it's VLSI it still leaves open the fab. The fab is likely not indigenous. SOC fabs are closer to 300mm and not ones we have. All of this will hopefully be solved in 5 year with two new fabs! Fingers crossed.
