The talk entitled “Great Opportunities for Brazil: Brazilian Microcontroller with RISC-V Architecture and Microelectronics Residency – IC Brazil Innovation Project” will be presented by Prof. João Baptista Martins on January the 20th, at 14:30, in room B006, moderated by Prof. Rosaldo Rossetti (DEI).
About the Talk:
The objective of this talk is to present the main projects being developed in Brazil in the field of microelectronics. The first deals with the training and development of human resources, called Residency in Microelectronics – IC Brazil Innovation, and the second deals with the design, development, and implementation of hardware and software for a 32-bit microcontroller with RISC-V architecture and BLE (BlueMacaw) communication.
