Digilent Design Contest 2012

Dates

Registration begins November 16^th.  Teams must submit proposals by December 23^rd and will be notified of acceptance by January 15^th. The contest finals will be held in Romania on May 12 to 13, 2012.

Challenge

The contest is open to all students and the goal is to develop innovative projects using Digilent products.  Projects normally fall into two categories.  These are FPGA designs and microcontroller designs.

• Digital design projects feature Digilent's Xilinx based FPGA boards, developed in environments such as Xilinx ISE WebPack or ISE Foundation, National Instruments LabView, etc.
• Microcontroller projects feature Digilent's Microchip PIC-based embedded control boards, developed in environments such as Microchip MPLAB, MPIDE, etc.
• This year, projects may also be developed on Digilent’s chipKIT line of Arduino compatible development kits.

Prizes

Digilent will be awarding prizes to the top finishers. Also, as a courtesy from Digilent, all participants who present their projects in the final EU contest will get to keep the Digilent hardware they used for their work.
