Build Your Own Embedded System (BYOES) Program Will Offer Newly-Released
Beagle Board and iBase Development Kits
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- TechInsights
(http://www.techinsights.com/) today announced that it will feature the
Build Your Own Embedded System (BYOES) Program at its Embedded Systems
Conference Boston. The BYOES program allows attendees to build and take
home a fully configured embedded system based on a development kit which
they receive for free as part of their All-Access or Five-Day Pass.
Attendees will be able to choose from two programming kits, including one
produced by iBase and a second kit based on the recently launched Beagle
Board, which is a powerful, low-cost and fanless embedded development board
smaller than a drink coaster.
"The BYOES program makes ESC Boston one of the few, if not only,
conferences that offer attendees a true hands-on educational experience,"
said Richard Nass, editor in chief of Embedded Systems Design and editorial
director of the Embedded Systems Conferences. "A lot of conferences give
attendees a development platform to work on while they're at the event, but
ESC Boston attendees get to keep their newly configured kit. When they get
back to their own lab, they'll be well down the path toward their embedded
design."
ESC Boston will be the first conference to offer the USB-powered Beagle
Board as part of the hands-on education experience the Embedded Systems
Conferences have become known for. The Linux-based kit is a collaborative
effort between Texas Instruments, Numonyx and MontaVista and was released
to the public on July 28. Attendees may also choose the iBase kit, a fully
completed development kit running both Windows Embedded Standard and
Windows CE.
In order to build out their kits, BYOES participants will choose from a
host of classes specifically designed to develop the homemade platforms.
Attendees will be able to choose from classes about the Windows XP Standard
and application development to understanding the ins and outs of flash file
system integration and embedded USB.
