[ANN] Atmel DIOPSiS ARM+DSP Design Contest 2005 for Universities

Atmel has launched the DIOPSiS DSP Design Contest 2005
http://www.atmelroma.it/contest/index.php




First price is 6000Euro.

Atmel will be happy to have Universities andd Colleges participating in the
contest.



By combining a floating-point VLIW digital signal processor core with an
ARM7 microcontroller on the same chip, Atmel Corp. adds a new wrinkle in an
already intensely competitive DSP solutions arena.
The AT572D740 Diopsis dual processor at 100 MHz delivers 1 billion
floating-point operations per second (1 GFLOPS) and 1.5 GOPS total. There
are also lots of peripherals functions and memory embedded on chip. There
are two SPI serial ports, two USARTS, a timer counter, watchdog, parallel
I/O port (PIO), peripheral data controller, 8 ADC and 8 DAC interfaces,
clock generator and interrupt controller".

Is the JTST board generally available?

And what is the resolution and available sample rates of the 
four A/D/A I/O channels?


Thanks,

Bob

It is just the interface so you need external ADC/DAC.
