How to interrupt the core from a core peripheral.... The Systick Timer.

A look at interrupts in a microcontroller from a generic point of view. This will be used to put the other videos relating to interrupts of the ARM core in context.

Using Header(.h) files provided by Freescale inside CodeWarrior - Blinking an LED

Continue showing how to start a project from scratch.  In this second part,  we will see how to import new files into a CodeWarrior project to build a project. View Video Link : 1458

How to create a basic project from scratch in Codewarrior for the the Freedom board. View Video Link : 1459

Examines the core used in the MKL25Z128VLK4 device that is mounted on the FRDM-KL25Z board. The audience will be guided through the process of acquiring documentation for both the device and the core. A brief overview of the ARM cortex series will be presentated and how it relates to the embedded systems landscape.

Continuing with the "warp drive controller example", this video explains low level hardware interfacing via bit manipulation. An example programming sequence for the warp drive will be shown. View Video Link : 1455

Using a "warp drive controller" as a fun example, this video will introduce the audience to basic hardware interfacing concepts, device register documentation and how one interacts with hardware. View Video Link : 1456

Illustrates some basic concepts with respect to microcontroller design tools. A generic design flow will be introduced to orient the audience to the most common steps in the software development process.

Continue to explain some common components seen in a microcontroller. Criteria for how a microcontroller is selected will be introduced. View Video Link : 1440

Examine some basic microcontroller concepts, how they are used and some generic I/O paths. The intent is to give the audience a broad picture of microcontrollers and how they are used.

In this two part series we take a deeper look at the inner workings of a microcontroller. This video will examine a "generic" microcontroller. Components that are common to most microcontrollers will be examine.   View Video Link : 1453

Freescale Cup shield introduction for use with the FRDM-KL25Z or similar development board. Steps through the schematic of the FRDM-TFC shield and explain it's interfaces, logic, and use.

The Fraunhofer Institute of Integrated Circuits in Erlangen (Germany) is the inventor (with Thomson) of the MP3 files most of use today in our smartphone and media players. They are over 20,000 researchers strong and a force in the R&D community in Germany and around the world. The institute will welcome and host the Freescale Cup 2014 EMEA finals on 29-30 April 2014. It is a great chance for the student teams that will be at the event to get a glimpse of engineering R&D at its best and make contact with talented Fraunhofer Institute engineers shaping the world of tomorrow. See the press release at 20130715_Freescale_2014 - Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS

This educational application by Freescale teaches you about sensor fusion and lets you experiment with some of the routines already present in your Android™ device. It does not require that your device uses Freescale sensors. The app supports 6 and 9-axis fusion routines native to your device, as well as those on compatible development boards. This app just lets you experiment with what you already have. http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?code=XTRSICSNSTLBOX

Students from the University Applied Sciences TDU Deggendorf gave yesterday a demonstration of their Freescale Cup cars. 10 teams had worked during the semester in getting their cars running on their homemade Freescale Cup track based on Tower K60 kits. They ran them with lights on, lights off, in both directions on the track. Solid performance overall. HDU Deggendorf's teams are led by Prof. Gerald Kupris and have enrolled for the 3rd consecutive season into the Freescale Cup EMEA Challenge 2014. They are preparing another set of cars to compete in the upcoming racing season.

                                                       Robô Explorador      O sistema de investigação feita por robôs através da análise de imagens capturadas está sendo utilizado nas pequenas e grandes empresas. Através da análise de imagens, é possível verificar se um produto está com defeito ou não. Dependendo da imagem, ou até mesmo se a peça estiver em mãos, um operador poderá analisar e qualificar como peça boa, mas através da conversão de uma figura em matriz binária, será possível encontrar um erro. Desta forma o produto final poderá ser adquirido pelo consumidor com mais qualidade e com custo reduzido.      Para sistemas de segurança, é possível analisar um espaço, fotografar o local e saber se existe perigo para o operador, ou até mesmo localizar pessoas em situações de risco de vida.

GEORG is the Rescue Robot from the Freescale Robotics Lab of the Georg-Simon Ohm University of Applied Sciences of Nuremberg (Germany). During last week's, the student team led by Prof. Stefan May have attended the Worldwide RoboCup finals in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and scored #12. Quite a good result for GEORG as it is it's first entry into the world finals. The Robotics team has been working since last year porting ROS (Robotic Operating System) to the Freescale i.MX platform to save space and power vs. an onboard PC. They are also working in developing distributed ROS computing systems using Freedom boards as modules. See GEORG's progress on the Robotics page of the university

This past Tuesday June 25th, 2013, the UNICAMP E-Racing compete against 19 teams and won the first place with a score of 985 points of a total of 1000. The car used an electric motor of 120 V and a chassis that weighted 250 kg (551.2 lbs). That allows the car with a charging time of 2 hours to be driving for 25 km (15.5 miles) and race up to speeds of 170 km/h (105.6 mph). Check out this video of the car: The official results: http://www.sae.org/images/cds/selfservice/372162833_FSAE_EV_2013%20result.pdf
