Now in their fourth year, the e-Legacy awards have become synonymous with Corporate Social Responsibility and reflect an ethos of contributing to the common good, either through aspects of a company's operations or its products.  The Environmental Design Award specifically recognises energy-saving or fuel/power- efficient electronic design.

Winners of the e-Legacy awards are selected via a public on-line vote, with finalists in seven award categories.

Energy Micro's EFM32 Gecko microcontroller family consumes a fraction of the energy required by other 8, 16 and 32-bit microcontroller solutions.  The EFM32 Gecko microcontroller is in full production, and details of the software and pin-compatible Tiny Gecko and Giant Gecko products have also been announced.  The Gecko microcontrollers are supported by the energyAware tool suite and a community of third party suppliers providing IDE/compilers, debug systems, development kits and real time operating systems.
