Total Phase, a provider of industry-leading USB, I2C, SPI, and CAN embedded systems tools, is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the BeagleBone Cape Plug-in Board Design Contest. Hosted by BeagleBoard.org, the contest provides embedded engineers and hobbyists with the opportunity to see their BeagleBone cape plug-in board design put into full production. Total Phase has worked closely with BeagleBoard.org and Texas Instruments, Incorporated (TI) for several years. As a result, Total Phase is sponsoring more than $ 5,000 in prizes for contest participants.

Contestants can win Total Phase prizes two different ways. First, all online visitors will have the opportunity to win Total Phase tools during weekly contests hosted by BeagleBoard.org. Second, the top three design contest winners, selected by a panel of judges from BeagleBoard.org, TI and CircuitCo Electronics for their innovative designs, will receive their choice of a Total Phase USB, I2C, SPI, or CAN development kit. All design entries are due by Dec. 31, 2012. The winners will be announced on Jan. 14, 2013. Details of the prizes and judging criteria can be found on the contest page.

We wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to seeing all the creative cape plug-in board designs submitted in this contest.”
