Infineon and element14 are excited to announce the “At the Core” design challenge. We challenge innovative thinkers to push the limit of the newly unleased Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core on the PSoC^TM 62 dual-core microcontroller with Infineon’s ModusToolbox^TM software development platform. 

Use ModusToolbox^TM 3.0 to create projects focused on the dual core architecture of the PSoC^TM 62 microcontroller. Whether your application needs to leverage dual core for low power modes, to securely partition the cores, or to drive multiple operating systems on a single microcontroller, the PSoC^TM 62 with ModusToolbox^TM 3.0 can ease your development efforts.

Interested in participating? Here are examples of qualifying projects:

• Run low power applications on the Cortex-M0+, then wake the Cortex-M4 for more complex tasks requiring additional processing power
• Using the separate cores for code isolation & security
• Run trusted firmware on dedicated core
• Run communication on the Cortex-M0+ while running more complex processes on the Cortex-M
• Porting other OS to run on the PSoC™ 62 microcontroller
• Applications with the Cortex-M0+ core measuring values and the Cortex-M4 visualizing or processing the data

Become a Sponsored Challenger

30 applicants will receive the PSoC™ 6S24 Pioneer Kit and will be recognized as sponsored challengers.

The sponsored challengers must use the ModusToolbox ^TM 3.0 development environment as well as demonstrate use of both the Cortex-M0+ and Cortex-M4 cores in their project. Challengers must post their progress and final project with at least 5 blog posts before the closing date. Posts which show inter-core communications and are media-rich with photos, videos and code samples will be viewed more favorably in the judging process.

 First place prize is a Microsoft Surface 256GB 16GB Ram Platinum + Sonos One (Gen 2) Two Room Set Voice Controlled Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa Built in (2-Pack White.
