The FTF Design Challenge encouraged embedded engineers to find creative ways to use less energy, limit the environmental impact of existing products and create new products that help to improve the environment. It offered engineers the chance to get complimentary or discounted tools, access virtual labs, experience designing with CodeWarrior® development tools, win cash and attend FTF.

“I’d like to thank Freescale for this exciting opportunity and access to the energy-efficient technologies needed to develop my Digital Sun Distiller,” said Rojas. “It’s rewarding to have our hard work acknowledged at the prestigious Freescale Technology Forum. The first-prize award will enable us to continue to enhance our product and help many countries conserve household water by reusing a percentage of water already used. ”Jose Luis Rojas, iluxon S.A. de C.V.
