Imagination, Microchip and Digilent work together to provide IoT courses to universities and colleges around the world

ImaginaTIon Technologies, Microchip Technology and Digilent Inc. announced the launch of the Connected MCU Lab, which will combine the three university's respective university 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 a new interactive entry 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.

Connected MCU Labs takes hands-on, hands-on approach to designing innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solutions using Wi-Fi®-enabled development boards, tools, software and cloud services – all the essentials are readily available. The course is based on Digilent's chipKITTM Wi-FIRE development board, which houses Microchip's popular PIC32MZ MCU with ImaginaTIon's 32-bit MIPS M-Class CPU. The chipKIT Basic I/O Shield can be used to extend Microchip's PICkitTM 3 in-circuit debugger. Teachers and students have free access to professional software tools, including the MPLAB® X integrated development environment, the MPLAB XC32 C compiler, and Microchip's MPLAB Harmony software development framework 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 the networked embedded system to the cloud. Since many university courses are still using 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 PIC32 MCU uses the same MIPS CPU IP core 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 framework will help students accelerate software integration and product The development cycle has a deeper understanding."

Steve Johnson, General Manager of Digilent Inc., said: "At Digilent, our mission is to equip engineers and students with high-value, practical educational tools and courses that enable motor engineering and design technology to be understood and used by everyone. We are proud to partner with Imagination and Microchip to introduce a new curriculum to lead students into the exciting world of cloud-connected embedded devices. As an integral part of the connected MCU lab, the chipKIT Wi-FIRE development board can assist Students are more likely to embark on design projects and provide them with a variety of options during the development process to create challenging solutions."

At present, 18 universities in Australia, China, Germany, Israel, Portugal, Russia and the United Kingdom have participated in the initial plan of connecting MCU laboratories.
