Arm Community blogs

In this article I will explain how ARM® uses FPGA boards during the development of new cores to validate the design and how this technique is particularly useful to reduce project time and costs, giving…

Sony Mobile started shipping the Smartwatch 2 (SW2) last month. Sony is encouraging developers to get involved in its development community so here are the details of how you can join in.

This article explains how we wrote data to flash during program execution when developing the batteryless energy harvesting remote control. This remote control used an MCU from the Freescale KL25z series…

This blog post is concerned with how we got the MCU in the Batteryless Energy Harvesting Remote Control to go into a Low Leakage Mode. It is also concerned with the Low Leakage Wake Up Unit (LLWU) and…

The Batteryless Energy Harvesting Remote Control can be taught Infra-red codes and then repeat them. This post explains the way in which this was achieved.Learning Infrared codesThe circuit uses an Infra…

This post is concerned with the techniques used to harvest and regulate energy for the Energy Harvesting Remote Control.Sources of Energy Harvested:The main source of energy harvested in the remote control…

The Concept:The batteryless energy harvesting remote control was a project undertaken to demonstrate the low power of the ARM Cortex-M0+ processor. We wanted to create an extremely low power remote control…

Analysing PerformanceWhen we talk about optimizing performance, we could mean a number of different things. The first thought that comes to most people’s minds in the context of a gaming application is…

Size mattersHow much does it take to increment a number? One instruction? Two? It is not as simple a question as you might imagine. And, believe me, this is one case where size matters.On an ARM processor…
