STMicroelectronics SensorTile Curriculum: Introduction to Embedded Systems

What is the SensorTile Curriculum?

• The SensorTile Curriculum is open source university-level coursework created for those seeking hands-on experience in real-time embedded systems based on Arm®-Core microcontrollers.
• It is based on the SensorTile development kit, a new Internet-of-Things (IoT) system integrating a state-of-the-art Arm Cortex® M4 MCU, wireless interfaces, and sensors.
• The curriculum was developed and first introduced by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) with the mission of introducing students to embedded systems and IoT technology using a new learning ecosystem. It consists of a series of programming tutorials to help young engineers with real world challenges in the IoT. You can find the contributors here.
