An Introduction to DS-5 and Beagle Board

Berlin, Germany — Jun 10, 2010

Texas Instruments, EBV Elektronik and Keil/ARM are holding a series of one day introductory workshops that focus on how to use ARM DS-5 and the EBV Beagle Board.

In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to boot, verify, and interact with a Beagle Board, explore its capabilities, and use with the boot-loader and Linux kernel. You will also learn how to build and debug Linux applications using the ARM DS-5 cross-development environment.

By the end of this workshop you will understand the basics of NEON SIMD architecture, which is included in the Beagle Board's OMAP35x/Cortex-A8.
