Freescale Semiconductor is offering engineering students and embedded developers in India the opportunity to turn great designs into 8-bit innovations.
The embedded design contest, which begins August 1, challenges engineers to stretch their imagination and create innovative prototypes using Freescale’s 8-bit HCS08 8/16-pin microcontroller (MCU).
To compete in the design challenge, participants must submit their design prototypes complete with schematics and software developed with CodeWarrior™ tools, along with a working, board-level demonstration of the product by October 31, 2007.
The first-prize winner will receive a four-day all-expenses-paid trip to Malaysia that includes sight-seeing opportunities and a tour of Freescale’s manufacturing facilities in the region. The second-place winner will also have the opportunity to win an exciting prize.
The top 25 entries will have a chance to attend FTF Bangalore for a close-up look at the latest technology innovations that Freescale is bringing to market.
