MSP430 Teaching ROM Written by: Authors Pedro Dinis Gaspar, Antnio Esprito Santo, Bruno Ribeiro and Humberto Santos University of Beira Interior, Electromechanical Engineering Department, Portugal, 2009. This CD-ROM has been created to provide the vital core materials to enable educators and academics to teach microcontrollers (MCUs), using devices from the Texas Instruments MSP430 family. The materials include slides, labs, tests, programs and application examples, written in an academic style that is both interesting and technically detailed. In addition, the tutorials can be used as student guides to a series of modules and laboratory exercises.

Each module is dedicated to a specific aspect of the device, including detailed descriptions of how to use a range of peripherals. A step-by-step project guide to using different software development tools, with instructions on how to use the available hardware starter kits to perform the laboratory exercises, is also included.

C2000 Teaching ROM C2000™ Teaching ROM. The 3rd edition focuses on the TMS320F28335 ("DelfinoTM") and TMS320F28027 ("PiccoloTM") devices. The older revisions of the CDROM for TMS320F2812, TMS320LF2407 and TMS320F243 are also included in the archive on the ROM.

The "Zwickau Adaptor board" used in many of the 2812 experiments can be obtained from Systec. More details here. This CD-ROM is designed to support teachers and professors teaching embedded control using the TI TMS320C2000 MCU platform. Written and designed by Frank Bormann of University of Applied Sciences Zwickau, Germany, this CD-ROM provides a series of 19 modules with teaching material for the current generation of 32-bit Texas Instruments real-time controllers.

The contents include presentation slides, a textbook with 750 pages, along with procedures and solutions for laboratory exercises, all presented in source-code form to allow flexibility of use. The laboratory exercises are based on the TMS320F28335 controlCARD, the Texas Instruments Peripheral Explorer Board and the C programming language. Some exercises, especially those for the enhanced Pulse Width Modulation Unit, are also available for the TMS320F28027 – Piccolo USBstick.

All exercises are provided in two versions to run under Code Composer Studio CCS3.3 or CCS4.1. The Author Frank Bormann is a University Lecturer in Automotive Electronics, Real-Time- Control and Digital Signal Processing. His department at the Zwickau University is an internationally recognized centre for automotive data bus systems and electromagnetic compatibility. He became a certified instructor for Texas Instruments in 1998, and lectures the 4-day customer workshops for the TMSC2000-family in Europe. In April 2006 he was given TI's DSP Educators Award in recognition of his major contribution to technical education worldwide.

Stellaris® CortexTM-M3 Teaching ROM Written by: Ralf Gessler, Heilbronn University, Campus Künzelsau, Germany

The Stellaris® Teaching ROM is designed for professors, associated professors and other academics to teach for the degree programs in electrical engineering, information technology and mechatronics. The contents include presentation slides and software projects - from a simple "Hello World" to complete webserver application. All teaching materials are presented in source-code form to allow flexibility of use. For teaching microcontroller features in the first part of the ROM, the EKS-LM3S1968 has been chosen (Chapters 1-4). This board has relatively low cost and offers a lot of potential for the first steps (fundamentals). It also offers more advanced interfaces such as ADC, OLED and UART etc. The focus of the second part is connectivity. Therefore the EKS-LM3S9B92 (Chapter 5) has been chosen for advanced Ethernet- and USB-applications.
