Welcome to ARM and Energy Micro's University Program
http://www.energymicro.com/university
Will Tu from ARM and Energy Micro´s Raman Sharma talk about the benefits teachers and students get when learning about microcontrollers.
The University Program is an educational system developed by Energy Micro to provide teaching materials and development tools at a low entry cost. The program encourages learning and helps institutions start their own microcontroller training programs quickly.
Who is it for?
The ARM and Energy Micro University is primarily intended for universities planning to expand their microcontroller labs. However, the lecture series is even valuable for people wanting to learn more about microcontrollers in general, with special focus on low power application development. Watch the presentation here:
What is included?
The Energy Micro University package contains several parts:
A series of lectures
Keil MDK-ARM Microcontroller Development Kit
Simplicity Studio - energyAware Designer and Profiler tools
A discounted package of at least 10 EFM32 Giant Gecko starter kits
The lectures begin from scratch - explaining the basics, like what a MCU is, what it can be used for, etc. It goes through how to compile simple programs to interfacing registers and modules. Each lesson is complete with small excercises with solutions. The series is made so that each lecture does not depend on the previous lecture, so that you are free to pick and choose the lectures that suit you the best.
The Keil MDK-ARM (Microcontroller Development Kit) Software Tools is available free of charge to qualifying institutions to support teaching, laboratory work and educational research projects. Faculty requests for these materials should be addressed to university@arm.com
'Simplicity Studio' ensures teachers and students always have access to the latest documentation, firmware and kit software to use in conjunction with the kits.
Especially valuable for universities trying to establish a low-power microcontroller lab is the bundle with discounted kits. The package contains 10 EFM32 Giant Gecko Starter Kits. Each kit contains everything you need, including debugging, power monitoring (AEM) and peripherals.
