Talks:

1. My current progress with a under USD 20 Xilinx Zynq Linux FPGA Board by Adnan (15 min)

2. RBcpu2 ƒUB16: Homebrew 16bit Computer on FPGA by Ragul (15 min)

3. Sendcomm, a LoRa transceiver for research and education of IoT networks by Michael Schloh (time allocation TBA)

Sendcomm is a hacker device, with flexible features like dual UART
connectors, several antenna connectors, and secure element options.

What makes it unique is that parts are open (not RF shielded) and large enough for a student to apply oscilloscope probes or solder optional parts (like a USB circuit.)

Sendcomm also works with The Things Network LoRaWAN platform out of the box, but can be reprogrammed for a lot of other applications using several (LoRa, FSK, GFSK) radio modulations.

4. Automated Stress-testing of Electromechanical Devices by James (15min)
