The BLE Carbon is a joint effort by 96Boards and Seeed, which aims to provide economic and compact BLE solutions for IoT projects.

96Boards is produced by Linaro, a nonprofit organization co-founded by famous companies including ARM, IBM、Samsung、ST-Ericsson, and TI. It is the first open specification to define a platform for the delivery of compatible low-cost, small-footprint 32-bit and 64-bit Cortex-A boards from the range of ARM SoC vendors. Standardizing expansion buses for peripheral I/O, display, and cameras, allows the hardware ecosystem to develop a range of compatible add-on products that will work on any 96Boards product over the lifetime of the platform.

BLE Carbon is the kind of board that uses a software platform from 96Boards while the hardware from Seeed, also uses the Nordic Bluetooth solution. With the widely used open specification and strong manufacturing background from 96Boards and Seeed, BLE Cardon must be one of the best BLE solutions for IoT projects.
