The BoosterPack is a cost-effective plug-in daughter card that allows ARM® Cortex™-M4 MCU developers to create products with up to seven types of motion and environmental sensing capabilities. New OMAP5432 processor-based EVM for high-performance industrial applications Based on the dual-1.5GHz ARM® Cortex™-A15 MPCore™, TI's OMAP5432 EVM enables quick, easy evaluation and benchmarking for applications demanding high-performance processing and graphics at low power including human machine interface, portable data terminals, digital signage and medical monitoring end equipment. At $329 USD, it is a cost-effective tool to prototype software, evaluate applications and benchmark designs. Processors New Tiva™ C Series ARM® Cortex™-M4 MCUs for connected applications Building on more than 20 years of experience developing leading MCU technology and ARM®-based processors, TI announces its new Tiva™ ARM® MCU platform. The first devices in the new platform - Tiva C Series TM4C123x ARM Cortex-M4 MCUs - are the first Cortex-M-based MCUs to be built on 65 nanometer flash process technology, setting the roadmap to higher speeds, larger memory and lower power. Training Getting started with the Tiva™ C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad Workshop This workshop is based on the new Tiva C Series LaunchPad board featuring a TM4C123GH6PM microprocessor. The workshop is extensively hands-on and the overwhelming majority of your time will be spent working with the tools and writing code. $29: Workshop attendees will receive an EK-TM4C123GXL LaunchPad kit, additional USB cable and a Kentec 3.5" TFT LCD touch screen BoosterPack to take home. Hercules™ One Day MCU Functional Safety Seminars in North America The TI Hercules One Day Safety Seminar provides an overview of the applicable standards and directives for safety critical applications. In addition, attendees see how the ARM® Cortex™-R4 based family of safety microcontrollers can easily be used in the implementation of a safety critical system. This seminar will be offered at various locations in North America in the upcoming months. The next two seminars are scheduled in the Denver and Kansas City areas. Enable Connectivity without Compromising Control: F28M35x MCU Hands-on Workshop Providing the optimal solution for control and connectivity, the F28M35x MCU combines a C28 Control subsystem with a Cortex™ M3 Master subsystem and an Analog subsystem into a single device. The workshop steps the user through the programming development environment, system initialization, architectural overviews of the Master M3 and Control C28 subsystems, Analog subsystem, inter-processor communications (IPC), and safety features. The F28M35x MCU Hands-on Workshop is a self-paced technical course facilitated by qualified Texas Instruments' instructors. Download workshop materials and get started now. Literature Don't Compromise Between Communication and Control! With the C28x + ARM® Cortex™-M3 dual-subsystem MCU, applications such as solar inverters and industrial control can keep the benefits of separating the communication and control portions while maintaining a single-chip solution. In addition, The C28x + ARM Cortex-M3 enables safety certifications in your system via enhanced hardware and safety features. Download the brochure to learn more about the C28x + ARM Cortex-M3 MCU features and applications. Brochure: Tiva™ C Series ARM® Microcontrollers Learn about the Tiva C Series MCU's broad portfolio of connected Cortex™-M4 microcontrollers. Designers who migrate to the Tiva C Series MCUs benefit from a balance between the floating-point performance needed to create highly responsive mixed-signal applications and the low power architecture required to enable increasingly aggressive power budgets. An introduction to the Tiva™ C Series platform of microcontrollers Read this white paper to learn about leading analog integration, low power consumption and floating-point performance in the next generation of ARM® Cortex™-M4 processors from Texas Instruments. BeagleBone Black: a $45, 1-GHz computer for anyone from makers to engineers Finally, the moment you've been waiting for…the next-gen BeagleBone from BeagleBoard.org is here, and it brings big surprises. Now featuring 1GHz performance for only $45 plus great new hardware specs like HDMI, eMMC and DDR3, BeagleBone Black is a deal you won't want to miss. Read the white paper for more information. Learn more about designing a system management controller for industrial PC This white paper explores the design of a platform-based system management con­troller for x86-based industrial PCs. These systems have stringent design requirements that exceed those of consumer and commer­cial PCs, including the need to support vari­ous industrial interfaces and the ability to op­erate in extreme environmental conditions.
