STM32 Design Challenge

An innovative, social-networking community for engineers offering a total prize value of more than $10,000!

EE Times Group, a UBM company, announced the launch of the STM32 Design Challenge, a six month contest and community sponsored by STMicroelectronics. ARM and Keil are participating in co-operation with EETimes, STMicroelectronics and Digi-Key.

The Design Challenge has been created to increase awareness for ST's 32-bit STM32 ARM Cortex™-M3 microcontroller family, by fostering a social community where electronics engineering contestants can build, test, and display their designs, based on the 'Discovery kit for STM32 Design Challenge' tool platform.

The challenge is organized in three phases and illustrates the unique breadth of the STM32 family:

• Conceptual Design
• Early prototype
• Final Prototype

Contestants and choose to build their designs in devices with embedded flash memory usage of up to 32-KBytes; up to 1-MByte.

Details of how to join, and to download a free evaluation version of MDK-ARM can be found at STM32 Design Challenge.
