Entries now open for embedded design contest

Registrations are now open for the 2017 GR Peach Design Contest, hosted by semiconductor manufacturer Renesas, in Australia, New Zealand and the ASEAN.

The aim of the contest is to create innovative and futuristic designs on a GR-PEACH development board, which uses the powerful Renesas RZ-A1H microprocessor. The product was created for developers interested in high-speed prototyping of IoT devices with high levels of HMI. Fully pin-compatible with Arduino UNO, it is an ARM mbed enabled development platform.

Abstract submissions are open until 30 March, with approved abstracts to be announced on 2 May. A free GR-PEACH board will be shipped to the top 50 entrants, who will submit their final project documentation by 30 September for the chance to win cash prizes. The final event will be held in the first week of December.
