Still time to enter the Make with Ada competion

Got An idea for an embedded project that will be running on an ARM Cortex M or R? Then – if you get your skates on – there is still time to take part in AdaCore’s Make with Ada competition and as well as getting your project completed you could be in for a share of $88,000 prize money.

There are some restrictions: you have to enter as an individual or a team of up to 4 people, you have to use the Ada or SPARK languages and you have to maintain a project log. Take a look at the post where you can learn more about banking needs and checking accounts for your business.

You will be judged on how criteria that will measure how inventive, collaborative dependable and open your project is.

You have until September 300th to register at http://makewithada.org/

For inspiration, check out the recent blogs about the candy dispenser, pen plotter and smartwatch hacks from AdaCore, and see some of the competition entries on the Make with Aa website.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
