Location:
Speaker:
Donald Reay
Affiliation:
ISSS, HWU (in association with ARM University Program)
Synopsis:
Webinar - this event will be transmitted as a webinar, allowing interactive remote participation. Please arrive in good time (3.45pm) for the start at 4.00pm. You may register for the event at

Otherwise, you may simply turn up (in good time) at the lecture theatre. Either way, remote online participants in the webinar will see and hear you. You will be asked to agree to live video and photography being taken for the purposes of live broadcasting and for marketing of future events by ARM and/or Heriot Watt University.
There will be a short introduction (at 4.00pm) to the ARM University Program by Dr. Khaled Benkrid, Worldwide Director of Education and Research Enablement at ARM.
The ARM University Program (AUP) DSP Educational Kit provides educators with teaching materials including lecture slides, and laboratory instructions, as well as numerous example programs aimed at reinforcing the understanding of DSP theory through an interactive learning experience. It seeks to bridge the gap between DSP theory and the electrical engineering teaching laboratory.
The laboratory exercises and program examples contained in the DSP Educational Kit are not computer simulations, but involve real-time processing of analogue audio signals and involve the use of signal generators, oscilloscopes, microphones, music players and headphones. This is achievable using any one of a number of different, inexpensive ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller development kits available from semiconductor manufacturers including STMicroelectronics, Cypress Semiconductor, and NXP. They expose students to microcontroller programming, including interfacing and real-time programming practicalities.
This seminar will comprise a brief introduction to the philosophy behind the AUP DSP Educational Kit and a demonstration of some of the real-time audio signal processing example programs. A 40 minutes presentation will be followed by 20 minutes of questions (from a live audience and from on-line participants.)
