Aliso Viejo, Calif. – Mar. 11, 2021 – indie Semiconductor, an Autotech solutions innovator which is currently in the process of becoming a public company through a planned merger with Thunder Bridge Acquisition II, Ltd. (Nasdaq: THBR), a special purpose acquisition company, today launched a new on-board diagnostics (OBD) device, the OnBrD™. The OnBrD™ is a complete hardware and software solution for high-performance OBD-II applications including vehicle tracking, geofencing, connectivity, real-time automotive diagnostics and black box event data recorders. Specifically, indie’s compliant line drivers and hardware controllers make the OnBrD™ a hot plug safe device, while its distinctive, highly integrated, single layer architecture supports both new and existing system platforms.

?

OBD-II solutions monitor a car's computer system and report trouble codes. The electronic control unit then uses a microprocessor to read inputs from various engine sensors in real time. When a reading is outside of the expected values, the system logs a diagnostic trouble code (DTC), which is read through the OBD port. Remote diagnostics are extremely valuable tools in preventive maintenance and scheduling vehicle service cycles, reducing downtimes and the risk of breakdowns.

?

“Telematics, remote diagnostics and black box event data recorders are rapidly proliferating across a wide range of automotive applications including fleet management of passenger and commercial vehicles,” said Paul Hollingworth, indie’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Leveraging our decade-plus of Autotech system-level expertise, indie has developed a truly breakthrough single chip OBD-II interface solution to accelerate Tier 1 time to market, while substantially reducing their bill of materials. At a higher level, today’s announcement reflects how indie is rearchitecting the vehicle of tomorrow today, addressing the market’s need for innovative platforms that enhance safety, deliver real-time diagnostics and support new and emerging high growth applications.”

?

According to Technavio, the automotive on-board diagnostics market is expected to grow by $35 billion from 2020 to 2024 driven by the growing focus on remote monitoring and system management. Factors such as the shift in focus from OBD hardware and OBD software, and the integration of OBD with telematics will have a significant impact on the growth of the automotive OBD market value during the forecast period.

About OnBrD™

?

The OnBrD™ is a complete hardware and software solution for high-performance OBD-II applications. It includes the full stack from PHY through to application layer in a single, easy-to-drop-in package for both new and existing designs.



This highly integrated platform is designed to direct wire to the J1962 interface. An innovative crossbar function inside the design enables the multiplexing of any protocol on any connector pin, providing software configurable support for government mandated pinouts, as well as proprietary, per vehicle/machine interfaces. All pins are capable of being driven by the CPU or commonly, through the built-in hardware protocol accelerator.



OnBrD™ integrates an application processor, reducing bill of material costs by enabling the user application to run on the single-chip solution. Provided reference software includes support for a world-class turnkey J1979 stack supporting vehicle compatibility, ignition algorithms and safety functions, including crash detection. The firmware also provides support for common peripherals including radio/location/MEMS sensors and includes integrated RTOS, filesystem and logging infrastructure. Peripherals available to the CPU include GPIO, UART, RTC, PWM, I2C and SPI.



The OnBrD™ leverages indie’s field-proven, mixed-signal automotive technology and has been production-qualified to the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standard. The iND83405 is available now in production quantities. References designs include J1979, system-on-module, vehicle simulator and cable accessory based products.

Merger approval likely by the end of next week. Then, finally a rally. This has been sleepy for too long.

[MADDSTACKER]

17 price target given

[Billydakidd]

I think a little sideways trading before the cash settles is about right. She seems to always surprise me by the EOD

[Scandle34]

I assume the deal is too far along to get repriced (to the SPAC's advantage) due to market conditions potentially lowering the forward PE of tech growth stocks. Any concern (or hope?) of delaying the merger till after the meltdown?

Then again the month it will take to address the S4 comments is consistent with the last few "sky is falling" tech sessions (Sept 1, etc.), so April is probably OK anyways...

[Billydakidd]

Still holding .)

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

This was so promising and has been such a disappointment. Skyworks board member which will help them. Still holding but geez

[Billydakidd]

THBR $$$ $

Update PR:

indie Semiconductor, an Autotech solutions innovator which is currently in the process of becoming a public company through a planned merger with Thunder Bridge Acquisition II (Nasdaq: THBR), a special purpose acquisition company, today provided a transaction timeline and business update. indie and Thunder Bridge did not receive any communication from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or Department of Justice (DOJ) as of the expiration of the 30-day waiting period for premerger notification filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Act. Accordingly, no additional antitrust action is needed.

Further, indie and Thunder Bridge expect to file an updated Form S-4 to their original January 25, 2021 document in response to an initial round of comments recently received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, indie and Thunder Bridge expect to close the transaction in early Spring 2021, subject to the Form S-4 being declared effective and customary closing conditions, including a successful shareholder vote.

'Early Spring' sounds like early to mid April? S4 comments cycle seem to be the gating item. So as to avoid a Lucid event, I guess it is time to put the math to the valuation?

[Billydakidd]

March madness .)

[MADDSTACKER]

Agreed, my boats full..

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

This needs to get moving from here, this is just silly

[Rock_nj]

President Biden is planning to sign an executive order to address the shortage of semiconductors, or chips, an issue that industry has begged him to take action on recently.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced the pending order during the daily press briefing Thursday, noting that the order would be signed “in the coming weeks.”

“The administration is currently identifying potential chokepoints in the supply chain and actively working alongside key stakeholders in industry and with our trading partners to do more now,” Psaki told reporters. “At the same time, we are looking down the road, the long-standing issue with short supply of semiconductors ... is one of the central motivations for the executive order the president will sign.”

Psaki noted that the executive order will involve the undertaking of a “comprehensive review of supply chains for critical goods.”

“The review will be focused on identifying the immediate actions we can take, from improving the physical production of those items in the U.S., to working with allies to develop a coordinated response to weaknesses and bottlenecks that are hurting American workers,” Psaki said.

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

Yep

[MERCURIAL]

Ready for THBR to get rowdy.

[MADDSTACKER]

She waking up

[MADDSTACKER]

Chip shortage everywhere and this stock still not moving ..lmao oh but it will

[Rock_nj]

With Apple’s EV car partnership with Korean car makers coming out and GM reporting chip shortages for their cars, THBR is getting a pop this morning.

[Rock_nj]

Merger 5 weeks away or so. March is going to fun!

[Passs]

Let goooo

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

Just keep goin

[MADDSTACKER]

Let’s get green

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

Yes, .my bags are full here, it was just a public service announcement lol

[Rock_nj]

One to watch, but deal will not close before THBR deal. I am accumulating THBR at current levels with deal probably finalized within 6 week.

[Passs]

[Passs]

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

[Billydakidd]

Time to crank up .)

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

Added some amci also. Will move, vote on Feb 2

[MrPoppaGeorgeo]

Nice, added a few down here also

[Passs]

Starting to add MPG

[Rock_nj]

Time to buy THBR with the $10 backstop. As long as the overall market doesn't totally tank, which it shouldn't since the vaccines are rolling out and the economy is bound to recover, March could be a great month to be holding THBR as the merger happens.

[MADDSTACKER]

Crazy prices here

[Rock_nj]

45 days or so before merger is approved after SEC filing today. Good sign merger is on track.

[MADDSTACKER]

Yeah saw that .... :)
