Dear IEEE Member

You are invited to attend the following seminar, which is a part of a free seminar series on ‘Analogue & Computer Technologies’, organized by the joint chapter of IEEE Industrial Electronics and Industrial Applications Society and the IEEE Computer Society, New Zealand North.

Speakers: Mr. Ryan Kurte and Mr. Travis Scott

Date: Friday 8th July 2016

Time: 1:00pm – 4.00pm (Soft drinks at 2.20 pm)

Venue: Room 902-402, UoA Newmarket Campus, 314-390 Khyber Pass Road, Newmarket (Map: https://goo.gl/maps/qEjwS)

RSVP: Dr. Kevin Wang (Email: kevin.wang@auckland.ac.nz)    

An Introduction into Embedded Arm Development Abstract: This seminar intends to introduce you to hardware and software design using bare-metal embedded ARM cores. The seminar will begin with chip selection and hardware design focused around integration of ARM microcontrollers. We will then discuss the processor internals, common software components and, interfaces for interacting with embedded cores. This will be followed by an introduction to the available build tools and environments for embedded development. Finally, we will demonstrate the programming and debugging facilities available on embedded ARM cores. If you want to follow along, it will be useful to have an up to date Linux install (though OSX works just as well).

Speaker Biography: Ryan Kurte is a PhD candidate at the University of Auckland. He is particularly interested in Robotics and Information Security, and has spent the last couple of years developing ARM based hardware and software in industry. In his spare time he works on a UAV startup (https://vortec.nz).

Travis Scott is an embedded engineer at Tru-Test Ltd. Despite starting as a software engineer, most of his time is now focused on design of digital hardware circuits, primarily the use of ARM-based MCUs for sensors and high voltage applications. He is particularly interested in modular design techniques and principles.
