On June 17th the ARM University Program will be running a one-day Microcontroller Workshop at ARM Headquarters in Cambridge.

These workshops are exclusively for teaching faculty and post-graduate members of academia, and will provide the knowledge needed to teach students to use these tools in Labs and Projects.

The objective of this workshop is simple: “train the trainer”, so you are able to share this knowledge with your students.

ARM University Program

The aim of the ARM University Program is to encourage the use of ARM processors as the basis for educational labs and university courses. University courses, student projects, and research which focus on SoC design, computer architecture, embedded systems, microprocessors/controllers, assembly programming, OS application development, robotics, or mechatronics can benefit from using ARM IP and development systems. The program provides a variety of teaching materials, development tools, and other resources for both faculty and students.

Workshop content

• Introduction to the ARM University Program by Worldwide University Manager Dr. Khaled Benkrid
• Introduction of ARM and its relevance to Embedded Systems Education
• How to fit this activity into your classes and projects
• Hands-on exercises using both the mbed online compiler and the Keil-ARM MDK development environment via the CMSIS-DAP standard
• Q&A and networking discussions

Trainers

• Rob Toulson, Director, The Cultures of The Digital Economy Research Institute, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge
• Tim Wilmshurst, Head of Electronic Systems, University of Derby

Joint authors of: “Fast and Effective Embedded Systems Design: applying the ARM mbed” available on Amazon

• Chris Styles, mbed co-founder. Principal Engineer, Online Tools, ARM Cambridge

Who Should Attend

These workshops are exclusively for teaching faculty and post-graduate members of academia, and will provide you with the knowledge needed to teach students to use these tools in labs and projects. Attendees who complete the full day of training will receive their own mbed board, an mbed Application Board, their own copy of MDK-PRO development environment, along with copies of all the training materials used.

Dates & Times

The primary workshop is on Monday 17th June: - If there is sufficient demand, a second workshop will run on the 18th June - Registration at 9:00, workshop begins at 9:30. Close by 17:00
