April 22, 2016 – ImaginaTIon Technologies, Microchip Technology and Digilent jointly announced the Connected MCU Lab, which will combine the three universities' respective college programs to develop new course content. This one-semester course is designed for students in electrical engineering and computer science at universities around the world to provide a brief introduction and foundation course for microcontrollers (MCUs). It brings an interactive and new entry-level experience to the teaching of connected embedded systems – covering MCUs and input/output (I/O), real-time operating system concepts, advanced MIPS processor architectures, and cloud connectivity technologies – all The content will be presented in a new and unobtrusive terminology.
The networked MCU lab takes a hands-on approach to designing innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solutions using Wi-Fi-enabled development boards, tools, software and cloud services – all the necessary elements. The course is based on Digilent's chipKITTM Wi-FIRE board with Microchip's popular PIC32MZ MCU built into it, and it is a 32-bit MIPS M-Class CPU with ImaginaTIon. The chipKIT Basic I/O Shield can be used to extend Microchip's PICkitTM 3 In-Circuit Debugger. Professional software tools are available to teachers and students free of charge, including the MPLAB® X integrated development environment, the MPLAB XC32 C compiler, and Microchip's MPLAB Harmony software development architecture and ImaginaTIon's cloud technology.
The Connected MCU Lab course was designed by Dr. Alexander Dean of North Carolina State University and includes handouts for each module, student handbooks, exercises, exams, answers, and a teacher's manual.
Robert Owen, ImaginaTIon Global University Program Manager, said: "With the development of network connectivity technology and the need to simplify development work, embedded systems are rapidly turning to 32-bit MCUs. Therefore, the next generation of embedded system designers and developers need to know how to Linking networked embedded systems to the cloud. As many university courses still use 8-bit and 16-bit MCUs, this teaching requirement is even more urgent. The networked MCU lab can train the skills required by a new generation of engineers. 32-bit The MIPS CPU is at the heart of Microchip's popular PIC32 MCUs and is ideal for teaching and research projects, and the Wi-FIRE board is powerful enough to support difficult projects, making this course an important part of training students' professional skills. basis."
The MIPS CPU IP core used in the PIC32 MCU is the same as the "MIPSfpga" built-in kernel. It is a soft IP core widely used in many computer architectures and SoC courses, so it can bring significant benefits to these two important engineering education programs. .
Derek Carlson, deputy general manager of Microchip's development tools, said: "This new program demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest quality embedded education to the academic community. By using our popular high performance MCU product PIC32MZ, we can Assisting a new generation of engineers and graduate students to understand the emerging needs of future applications and gain practical experience in IoT design. In addition, our MPLAB X integrated development environment and MPLAB Harmony integrated software architecture will help students accelerate software integration and product The development cycle has a deeper understanding."
Digilent General Manager Steve Johnson said: “At Digilent, our mission is to make electrical engineering and design technology more understandable and usable by providing teachers and students with high-value, practical educational tools and courses. We are honored to Partnering with Imagination and Microchip to launch a new curriculum to lead students into the exciting world of cloud-connected embedded devices. As part of a networked MCU lab, chipKIT Wi-FIRE boards help students get started with design projects And provide them with a variety of options in the development process to create a difficult solution."
At present, 18 universities in Australia, China, Germany, Israel, Portugal, Russia and the United Kingdom have participated in the initial planning of the networked MCU laboratory. Teachers and students from colleges and universities are welcome to visit, log in and get course materials.
Support introduction:
“The Networked MCU Lab is an exciting program that perfectly matches the smart embedded systems courses we offer today. For students, it’s hands-on to learn about 32-bit microcontrollers and cloud connectivity technologies. The potential is very important because it gives them insight into the technology of the existing industry and prepares them for their future career."
─ John Kneen, Associate Professor, Department of Engineering, RMIT University, Australia
“My outstanding students' research areas include broadband access networks, computer communications, and monitoring. However, to develop students with skilled skills, we need a strong curriculum that covers the fundamentals of technology. The MCU Labs program is designed for We are very happy to be a member of this program, the best introductory course designed for students in computer engineering and computer science at the university level."
─ Liu Jinghao, Associate Professor, Department of Electronic Information Engineering, Tianjin University
