Beijing, October 21, 2015 – ARM® will provide the university with a new cloud computing-enabled educational suite that will continue to help the Chinese Internet of Things industry thrive. Students can learn how to use the ARM mbedTM IoT Device Platform to create smartphone applications and control connected devices such as robots or control mini weather stations to collect temperature, humidity and air pressure through the ARM IoT Learning Kit. data.
Unveiling ceremony of "Peking University-ARM-ST-Nordic Intelligent Hardware Innovation Joint Lab"
The kit was officially released today at the unveiling ceremony of the new PKU-ARM-ST-Nordic Intelligent Hardware Innovation Joint Lab at Peking University. The IoT teaching suite and innovative laboratory facilities are donated by ARM and its partners, STMicroelectronics and Nordic.
Mike Muller, ARM's chief technology officer, said: "ARM-based technology has laid the foundation for global IoT deployment. We believe it is especially important to provide the same basic technology and knowledge to young engineers from around the world. The tutorial suite is built around the Internet of Things. Providing students with the same technology and tools as real-world scenarios, enabling students to become an engineer who can meet industry challenges as soon as they leave the school."
Duan Xiaohui, deputy director of the Center for Electronic Information Science Foundation of Peking University, said: "The IoT design platform provided by ARM, STMicroelectronics and Nordic can enable students who choose electronic system design and related courses to master the latest IoT development technology. Make full use of the various resources provided by the design platform to improve the efficiency of system design and implementation, focus on the independent innovation design of students, and quickly realize the corresponding product prototypes, so that their innovation ability and level are fully utilized. The exercise and improvement of the students. This kind of training that the students get is crucial for the future innovation of China."
ARM IoT Teaching Kit
The ARM IoT Learning Kit includes STMicroelectronics and Nordic's ARM mbed EnabledTM development board, ARM Keil® MDK development tool software license, and a complete set of instructional materials. The suite enables teachers to offer hands-on courses on important IoT technologies, including how to use the ARM mbed device platform, the most widely used development platform based on ARM Cortex®-M IoT devices, and technologies such as Bluetooth Smart and current In-depth study of industry standards.
John Leonard, Product Marketing Manager, Nordic Semiconductor, said: "We are very pleased and proud to participate in the Smart Hardware Innovation Lab project at Peking University with ARM. Students are the creators and innovators of the future, helping them understand the frontiers such as Bluetooth Smart in their learning. Technology is not only our honour, but also exciting. The Cortex-M0-based nRF51 series SoC plays an important role in this project, providing students with the opportunity to learn the latest technology of today, and use it as a starting point. New areas such as wearables, beacons and the Internet of Things."
Michel Buffa, general manager of STMicroelectronics microcontroller products, said: "The STM32F4 series of MCUs play an important role in the deployment of innovative sensors and wireless communications using the STMicroelectronics portfolio. We are pleased to work with ARM and Peking University to further expand Our university project. Beijing has special significance for STMicroelectronics. On June 11, 2007, we launched STM32 for the first time in Beijing."
PKU-ARM-ST-Nordic Intelligent Hardware Innovation Joint Lab
Peking University's new innovation lab will be open to more than 200 students in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science, and offers courses in mobile computing, digital system design, embedded systems and digital signal processing. The lab is supported by ARM and ARM partners STMicroelectronics and Nordic Semiconductor. At the same time, the ARM University Program will provide professional guidance and supporting courseware for a range of academic topics in the Innovation Lab, including IoT-related courses.
Khaled Benkrid, Program Manager of ARM Global University, said: "It is extremely important to support and train local engineers in the process of becoming the global leader in the deployment of IoT. In cooperation with STMicroelectronics and Nordic, we will continue to provide diversity for Chinese universities. A low-cost, high-quality teaching suite. We are excited to see Nordic as a new member to integrate into the ARM Global University Partner Alliance so quickly."
More cooperation in the field of Internet of China
STMicroelectronics and ARM jointly announced the cooperation project in May this year with the support of the professional committee of the National Computer Basic Education Research Association of the National Higher Education Institution, aiming to set up 200 mbed innovation laboratories to support domestic graduate students and undergraduate students. Smart hardware projects for schools and advanced vocational schools.
In addition, ARM has teamed up with Thundersoft, the world's leading provider of intelligent terminal platform technology, to create an Atron space accelerator. The new joint venture was established in September this year to provide one-stop services for start-ups and OEMs by integrating the hardware and software resources of ARM ecosystem partners. The Antron Space Accelerator will have four offices and its first office in Beijing will help the Chinese Internet of Things industry take off. Peking University students will be the first group of students to visit the Antron Space Accelerator to develop projects and learn to start a startup.
