Embedded development system for students

4 September 2013 Computer/Embedded Technology

National Instruments announced an expanded commitment to engineering education with the release of myRIO, its latest educational product offering.

Based on the same powerful technology as the CompactRIO platform, myRIO is smaller and more student-friendly than its industrial counterpart. It includes the latest Zynq all programmable system-on-chip (SoC) technology from Xilinx, which combines a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and an FPGA with 28 000 programmable logic cells.

Using the power of the LabVIEW graphical programming environment, students can program the FPGA and evolve their systems in real time, giving them the flexibility to prototype and quickly iterate on their designs. The system also includes 10 analog inputs, six analog outputs, audio I/O channels and 40 lines of digital I/O. It includes onboard Wi-Fi, a three-axis accelerometer and several programmable LEDs in a durable, enclosed form factor.

Ensuring classroom and laboratory adaptability, myRIO comes with free downloadable courseware, is compatible with all NI miniSystems and connects with many third-party sensors and actuators. It is programmable in multiple environments, including LabVIEW and C/C++, empowering educators to incorporate it into their existing controls, robotics, mechatronics and embedded systems courses.
