PTS at the LinuxTag2010

Submitted by Part-Time Scientists on May 28, 2010 03:49 am

Almost one year ago, coinciding with the LinuxTag 2009, we officially became competitors in the GLXP. This year’s LinuxTag is coming up soon, and we decided to descend on the Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin after last years visit again.

This time, though, there will be a presentation by our very own embedded development and communications expert: Arne Reiners

At the core of the presentation are FPGAs, field-programmable gate arrays. What these “re-programmable chips”, in more general terms, can do, how they can withstand the harsh lunar environment and why they’re the future of space hardware will be explained in detail by Arne. He’s hoping for lots of questions, so please bring your thinking caps!

When and where?

LinuxTag 2010, Friday, June 11, 5:30 pm – 6:00 pm
