TI challenges top embedded control engineers
3 March 2010
News
Challenging top embedded engineers around the world to demonstrate their skills and innovation, Texas Instruments has announced the DesignStellaris 2010 contest, which takes place through 23 June 2010. Contestants can win by leveraging the Keil microcontroller development kit software tools to create a unique hardware- or software-based application that showcases technologies enabled by the connectivity, data efficiency, motion control features and other functionality of TI’s Stellaris LM3S9B96 microcontroller (MCU), as well as the capabilities of the on-chip SafeRTOS realtime operating system from Wittenstein.
Each entry will be judged equally on technical merit, originality, usefulness, cost-effectiveness and design optimisation by an independent panel of judges. Additional points will be awarded for the use of the StellarisWare IEC60730 library and for applications that improve safety or reliability with SafeRTOS. Winners will be announced at the Embedded Systems Conference Boston 2010, with more than $10 000 in cash prizes and awards to be disbursed.
The EKK-LM3S9B96 evaluation kit (available only in this contest) includes: an evaluation board with an 80 MHz LM3S9B96 MCU featuring Ethernet MAC+PHY, CAN, USB OTG and SafeRTOS in ROM; a time-limited, fully-functional copy of the Keil RealView microcontroller development kit; cables, documentation and StellarisWare software.
