Win up to $500! Our friends at The Mathworks are challenging students to create an original video that shows how you can connect Simulink to hardware. Simulink models can now run directly on the open development BeagleBoard platform based on TI ARM Cortex A8 Processor. Leverage Beagleboard’s active community of thousands of developers to discuss design challenges!

 

BeagleBoard-xM delivers GHz performance and extra memory with 512MB of low-power DDR RAM, enabling students to explore uncharted territories, dream big and make an impact on the world around you.

If you have wanted to replace PC functionality with a small, low power handheld form-factor in your designs, now working with the Simulink software you can do that on TI technology with ease... and win $500 bucks while you’re at it!

MathWorks Simulink Challenge Guidelines:

  • Upload your video to YouTube with the tag "#Simulinkhardware" 
  • You must be a student currently enrolled at a degree-granting institution.
  • MathWorks employees are not eligible.
  • All entries will be judged by MathWorks application support engineers on a 100-point scale using these criteria:
  • If two or more videos receive the same winning score, the corresponding submitters will receive the same prize.
  • Winners will be notified by telephone or email.
  • The top three winners will be announced here and on Facebook and Twitter.
