New initiative puts ARM-based technology into
the hands of students across the globe, to build new skills,
careers and the electronic innovations of the future
ARM® announces that its worldwide University Program has started
shipping its flagship ‘Lab-in-a-Box’ (LiB) with its partners to
higher educational institutions around the globe. The LiB contains
ARM-based technology and high quality, rigorous training materials
that support electronics and computer engineering courses. It
provides a migration package for academics wanting to upgrade their
existing curricula to state-of-the-art ARM-based technologies and
is a key part of the ARM University Program in its mission to make
low power, high performance ARM-based products accessible to
students and to spark the next generation of electronics
innovation.
The Lab-in-a-Box (LiB) package includes hardware boards from ARM
partners, software licenses from ARM, and complete teaching
materials ready to be immediately deployed in classes. Current
partners supplying hardware boards include Freescale and NXP. The
full contents of the box are as follows:
• 10 x ARM-based development boards
• 100 x ARM Keil® MDK-ARM Pro 1-year, renewable software tools
licenses
• A complete suite of teaching materials from ARM, including
lecture note slides, demonstration codes, lab manuals and projects
with solutions in source.
‘We are pleased to see the very first LiBs start shipping to our
partner institutions,” said Khaled Benkrid, manager, Worldwide
University Program, ARM. “This is an important moment for the ARM
University Program and for our partners, who are giving us very
strong support. Together, we are enabling educators and their
students to discover the possibilities of ARM technology. We are
committed to equipping tomorrow’s engineers with the skills they
need to drive the exciting and intelligent products that are
transforming how people work and play.”
“We were delighted to be one of the first institutions to
receive the ARM University Program’s Lab-in-a-Box on Embedded
Systems,” said Dr. Boris Adryan, University of Cambridge, UK. “It
has immediately proven itself to me as an excellent resource for
our research and teaching activities. The ARM-based materials it
contains are helping us to connect our teaching of systems biology
with the world’s latest embedded computing and sensing
technology.”
The ARM University Program enables educational use of ARM
technology. Current Program partners include Cypress, Freescale,
Nuvoton, NXP, ST and Silicon Labs/Energy Micro. The Program
provides a variety of teaching materials, hardware platforms,
software development tools, IP, and other resources for educators,
students, and researchers. This brings benefits to university
courses and labs, student projects, and academic research in
embedded systems, microprocessors/controllers, mechatronics, SoC
design and computer architecture. Other Program initiatives include
“Train-the-Trainer” workshops, online teaching/training videos,
design contest sponsorships and research support.
The ARM University Program provides its teaching materials and
software tools, including ARM Keil MDK-ARMPro Software Tool, free
of charge to qualifying institutions to support teaching,
laboratory work and educational research projects.
Faculty/Professor requests for these materials should be made
through the ARM University Program website: www.arm.com/university
where educators, researchers and students can register to join the
program and avail of its wealth of products and services.
