For those who are interested in both hardware and software, I would like to announce the Digilent Design Contest.
The contest is open to all university students and features in its 5th edition two tracks: the hardware design contest and the software design contest.
Digilent Hardware
- VHDL digital design based on Digilent FPGA boards
- Microcontroller projects that demonstrate Digilent’s embedded control boards
A little more unclear in specifications, but allowing more creativity, the software track requests the use of free or university (Technical University of Cluj-Napoca) supported development tools and frameworks.
Imprezzio Software
- Software applications (I think this means desktop applications?)
- Web applications
If you are interested, keep in mind the following key dates:
- Contest start date: December 11th 2008, @16:00, on Baritiu 26, Cluj-Napoca
- For the undecided, the last minute registration can be done on January 9th 2009
- An the for those who started a project, don’t forget that the final presentations are on May 9th 2009
In order to register (either as an individual or as a team of up to 2 members), use the following email addresses, for each of the two tracks: hardwarecontest [at] digilent [dot] ro and softwarecontest [at] imprezzio [dot] ro.
