The programme will also include a practical example of code porting, to illustrate the principles of best practice developed by Atmel’s technical experts over many years of experience.
Attendees paying the full daily delegate rate of £49 will be able to ‘trade in’ their existing 8-bit evaluation or demonstration kit hardware, in return for six Atmel development products worth more than £100 in total. The package includes Xplained evaluation boards for the ATmega1284P, AT32UC3L064 and ATxmega128A1 processors, plus security and temperature sensing modules to be used alongside the main processor boards, and the AVR DRAGON JTAG debugger.
Atmel has advanced rapidly up the microcontroller market share charts over recent years, growing its revenue by more than 25% in 2011 to now rank within the top three suppliers.
