It will explore the hardware and silicon options, the choice of operating system support, display options and it will explain what is now achievable and the best approach to development.
The Device Developers' Conference is an event for developers of intelligent systems and intelligent devices, targeting engineers involved in Embedded Systems development, Software Development, Electronics Design, Enclosure Design and Manufacturing Services; it will take place at Bristol, Cambridge and Manchester on the 14th, 16th and 22nd May respectively.
"We are very pleased to be sponsoring this event and presenting," said Barry Husbands, Managing Director of Blue Chip Technology. "The UK has a very strong electronics and engineering sector, and this event will enable the industry to come together to share information on the very latest tools and technologies."
This year's event will feature informative half-day technical workshops, presentations that introduce leading edge concepts and technologies and a vendor exhibition where engineers can get up to date with the latest tools and technologies available for future development.
Sponsored by key industry tool and technology vendors, the Device Developers' Conference is free to engineers and managers working in the technical sector.
"This event is shaping up nicely," said Richard Blackburn, Event Organiser. "We have been very pleased with the level of industry support for this project, we are on target to deliver a very useful event. The workshops and presentations we have lined up should prove to be very informative and helpful for engineers in this field, and many engineers will value the chance to meet a broad range of vendors in a single space."
A key feature of the Device Developers' Conference is that it is a single day event, which takes place in three locations. This enables engineers to attend with the minimal of travel time and expense. Another key feature is the ½-day technology workshop schedule that enables engineers to receive hands-on training from industry experts.
The companies exhibiting and presenting at The UK Device Developers' Conference include embedded software provider Wind River, German debug tools company Lauterbach, UK computer board manufacturer Blue Chip Technology Ltd, embedded systems development consultants Pebble Bay and development tools distributor SDC Systems. It is anticipated that up to 30 vendors will be exhibiting to demonstrate and explain their latest tools and technology.
The half-day workshops at this event will include ‘An Introduction to Advanced Debugging Techniques’, ‘An Introduction to Device Driver Development’ and ‘Getting to Grips with the new MISRA C:2012 Standard’.
Presentation titles include ‘Managing The Commercial Use of Linux’ and ‘Developing Device Drivers for Embedded Systems’.
