CEC Semester Eight 2015

In this session attendees will learn how to connect an embedded system to the Internet using a WiFi module known as the Electric Imp. You will learn how to set up the Electric Imp and connect it to the STM32L0 Nucleo board. The session will...

Every embedded system is monitoring some type of sensor whether it's digital or analog. These sensor types are handled differently most of the time. In this session, attendees will learn how to create a basic analog-to-digital converter driver...

Code reviews are one of the cheapest ways to reduce development costs. Finding bugs become exponentially more expensive later in the development cycle. This session will examine best practices for performing a code review via a baseline code...

Since this is a relatively new area of standardization, there is a lot of activity in the standards community. In this class we will discuss some of these activities. Looking especially at the IEEE activities we will get a feel for the range of...

The IoT generally consists of a large number of devices, diverse in both quantity and type, used to perform particular functions. Operating as a "system" they encompass a wide range of applications. The considerations of the IoT system, such as...

The most well developed set of standards for the IoT is in the communications area. That said, there is still a lot of activity around communications standards. We will look at the current landscape and discuss efforts of bodies like the IEEE to...

Devices used in the IoT span a very wide range. They can be extremely simple or can perform complex functions. In this lecture we will look at both hardware and software standards either in place or under development. Many of these are "industry"...

In this class we will look at the standards landscape for the IoT. This will include motivations, current and established standards and standards participants. We will develop a model that will be used in the following lectures to discuss the...

This class will review some of the most recent trends in MCU-based sensor designs in order to explore the future types of applications MCUs will need to address and the most likely enhancements they will need to be successful.

This class will continue exploring reference designs and development platforms provided by MCU manufacturers to help you more quickly and efficiently create MCU-based sensor designs.
