Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas Launches the STM32 Cortex-M3 SpeedWay Design Workshop Series.PHOENIX -- Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas business region of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : AVT AVT avian arginine vasotocin. See vasotocin. ) announces the launch of a new Avnet SpeedWay Design Workshop[TM] featuring STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) A microscope that can image down to the atomic level. An STM uses a piezoelectric tube with a tiny sharp tip at the end that is moved within nanometers of the object being sampled. 32 Cortex-M3[TM] 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics. The new seminar is being offered in locations throughout North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. beginning October 14, 2008. Avnet's factory-trained field application engineers (FAEs) will present the full day SpeedWay Workshops with support from STMicroelectronics' application engineers. The STM32 Cortex-M3 SpeedWay Design Workshop features: * A STM32 and Cortex-M3 overview * Introduction to Cortex-M3 architecture * Compiler overview * Hands-on labs * STM32 Cortex-M3 debugging demonstration * Communications: USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. and USART See UART. , ADC/DAC, timers, DMA (1) (Digital Media Adapter) See digital media hub. (2) (Document Management Alliance) A specification that provides a common interface for accessing and searching document databases. and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output , and low power features * Demonstration on porting existing applications to the STM32 "Avnet's SpeedWay Design Workshops provide a unique opportunity for customers to get a detailed overview of the latest ARM Cortex-M3 architecture and system level attributes," said John North, director of distribution for the US Geographic Business Unit of STMicroelectronics. "The combination of hands-on labs and expert technical knowledge provided by the Avnet FAEs makes SpeedWay a must-attend event for today's designers." "Our workshops are taught by trained FAEs who have a working knowledge of the STM32 technology to help further guide customers through the design and implementation process and answer any questions they may have," said Jeff Ittel, senior vice president of semiconductors for Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas. "Participants will leave the session armed with the necessary STM32 tools and knowledge for use in current projects." The STMicroelectronics' STM32 Cortex-M3 SpeedWay Design Workshops are being offered for $249--all attendees will receive a STM3210E-EVAL Evaluation Kit and IAR IAR - Instruction Address Register. The IBM name for program counter. Jlink (over a $550 value). For a complete list of dates, locations, and to register, please visit: http://em.avnet.com/stm32speedway.
