HaDes Award

As part of the “MCU Design, Laboratory” course, the Embedded Architectures & Systems Group awards the annual HaDes Award for the best processor and/or the best software implemented for it.

In the Hardware category, the implementation, enhancement or extension of the HaDes processor is honored. The Software category honors particularly interesting applications for the processor. Prerequisite for participation is the successful completion of the course itself as well as the use of the own processor implementation as a basis.

As a reward for the extra effort, each winning group will receive a certificate and a bottle of sparkling wine. Further details will be announced at the beginning of the course.
