Embedded Internetworking Two Day Class

A 2-day hands-on training class about bringing Internet connectivity to low and medium performance embedded applications

Learn about TCP/IP with an "embedded angle"!

The hands-on part implements different embedded internetworking solutions based on ARM microcontrollers

It's not a question of "if" Internet connectivity will be required by embedded devices, it's just a question of "when" it will happen. Web enabled appliances and consumer electronics are on their way. As always, embedded design engineers face the challenge to implement yet another feature at minimal cost.

This 2-day class gives engineers an overview of the requirements and solutions available today to add Internet connectivity to their next design.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge about the design and implementation of embedded systems is beneficial.

Hands-On Part

For the hands-on part, we provide workstations consisting of a laptop computer with all the required software and a microcontroller starter kit with an ARM derivative.

Each workstation is shared by two students, which maximizes class efficiency as typographical errors and other simple mistakes are less likely to happen in a team environment.
Certification

Certificates are issued to all students participating in both days of the training class. Students that score 80% or higher in the multiple choice test, get the line "and passed the test" added to their certificate.

Schedule, Location, Pricing

We currently do not have this class scheduled.

The price for the 2-day hands-on training class is $1,495 per student. Food and drinks are included.

The total number of students is limited to 12, to achieve a good learning environment.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be made 2 weeks prior to the event, otherwise tuition is non-refundable. A 15% rescheduling fee applies, if student needs to reschedule within 2 weeks prior to the event.
