Welcome to the ARMEBS4 wiki
If you don't know what the ARMEBS4 porject is, have a look a the presentation.
Getting started
- Get a board (Ask someone from the ARMEBS4 team)
- Install the software
- Try the examples
Presentation
ARMEBS4 is the name of a small embedded computer board targeted at teaching embedded and real time operating system programming. As it's name suggests, it's the fourth iteration of a successful family of board, this time more focused on a simpler system. In a broader sense, ARMEBS4 is the name of a complete ecosystem, providing a well tested set of hardware and software tools.
We, the ARMEBS4 team, provide a comprehensive solution for
- Practical work for HEI courses Embedded systems and Real time programming
- All kind of project featuring a mid-sized micro-controller.
- Projects based on the ARMEBS4
- LiveSense : Autonomous cell-based sensing microsystem.
- Envirobot : A robot for water quality survey.
- AndroSensor : Sensors for Android devices.
- Projects based on the ARMEBS4
What can be done with the ARMEBS4 ?
The board is powerful enough to run applications with:
- LCD and touch screen interface
