Freescalewill be hosting their Design with Freescale event in São Paulo on October 8th, and I will be there to support the technology sessions and the Technology Lab, demonstrating ARM's software tool solutions that support all of Freescale's ARM based Portfolio.
As you likely know if you are reading this, ARM is ubiquitous in the industry from sensors to servers. Freescale similarly offer ARM based products, from Kinetis MCUs, through the Vybrid and i.MX series of Application processors, to advanced Layerscape Networking solutions.
ARM tools support these devices with Keil MDK toolchain and DS-5 Development Studio as appropriate. Furthermore there are a variety of Freescale platforms supporting the mbed Development Platform.
Also at the event, my colleague Drew Barbier will talk about the ARM Accredited Engineer (AAE) program. This is a run-through of the subject matter covered by the ARM Accredited MCU Engineer accreditation, focusing on software aspects of the ARMv-6M and ARMv7-M Microcontroller architectures as implemented in the Cortex-M processor family. Drew will offer a look into the subject matter needed for the exam, in order to benefit from the industry-recognized qualification.
I look forward to meeting you there!
