CEC Semester Ten 2016

Having the right tool for the job is critical in any job but especially so for embedded software developers. In this session, we will explore important tools such as compilers, optimization, programming languages along with analysis tools...

Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be difficult into today's development environment. In this session, we'll explore how to select a microcontroller using the perspectives of both electrical and software engineers. Attendees...

The bottom line in IoT is to deliver the payload. Today, we will "deliver" without the assistance of WiFi, Ethernet or Bluetooth. While we're at it, we'll use the power of the sun as an IoT delivery vehicle, as well.

IoT design need not be confined to Ethernet and Bluetooth devices passing bytes of sensor data. Today's lecture will focus on the capabilities of the ON Semiconductor MatrixCam. The MatrixCam is a 1080p camera solution that enables the streaming...

In addition to the RN4020, Microchip offers a pair of IoT-ready SoCs. Today, we will take a look at the Microchip BM70/71 PICtail, command set and programming utilities. To facilitate our BM7x exploration, we will first design and assemble a...

The nRF52832 is billed as a Multiprotocol Bluetooth low energy/ANT/2.4GHz RF SoC. In this lecture we will explore the new features of the nRF52832 and write some code to put the nRF52832's peripherals and radio through their paces. Our goal today...

Today’s lecture will be supported by the free edition of Keil’s MDK for Cortex-M. The code produced by the Keil MDK will be used to expose the capabilities of various microcontroller elements of Nordic’s nRF51822 SoC. During the course of the...

One major feature of the IoT is that we now have lots of data over long periods of time for many types of systems.We can use this rich data horde to perform optimizations in current systems and in the design of new or evolved systems.These...

For this lecture we will talk about failure detection and anomaly detection, and the analyses used in conjunction with them. In the IoT we often want to perform these on a continuous basis. This introduces some interesting features in the...

A major area of machine learning concerns classification. We will describe both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques and discuss when and how to use them. Techniques include k-means clustering, support vector machines, principal...
