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…

I particularly like this case study that I found over on edn.com for two reasons; 1) it is nice and detailed and explains the underlying science of a heart monitor that I'd never read before, and 2) I…

Part 4 in a four part blog describes a more systematic approach to measuring and validating the system performance of these types of systems and introduces new tools to make this systematic approach practically…

This blog was initially posted on 27th April 2011 on blogs.arm.comAs we come to the end of our second engineering cycle, I thought it would be interesting to highlight 4 of the initiatives happening in…

I’ve just spent an amazingly busy and productive time at Cartes Paris,  the biggest and the most comprehensive global annual event dedicated to Secure Solutions for Payment, Identification and Mobility…

If you have a large source code and want to compile it frequently you can use a cross-compiler. In this post we discuss how this method can be done.

Originally this blog post was intended to be all-in-one, but I was suggested to split it into smaller parts.So what I'll do, is that I'll mention the features I'd like in my ARM processor, one at a time…

This week MediaTek launched the MT6592, a heterogeneous computing SoC which combines an advanced eight-core ARM® Cortex®-A7 processor configuration with industry-leading multimedia capabilities and mobile…

The ARM Cortex-A mobile application processor product line spans several generations and three main product tiers. Developers and SoC designers experienced with one or more of the newer ARM ARM Processors…

Chinese Version中文版The first few big.little devices are now shipping in volume production, and several new SoCs are coming to market soon that will accelerate the usage of this power and performance  optimizing…

Whilst browsing the EE Times website yesterday I saw an interesting advert for an EE Times University online training course titled Fundamentals of Microcontrollers (MCUs): Hands-On Workshop.The course…

At this year's ARM® TechCon™, Carbon Design Systems did a joint presentation with ARM entitled "Getting the Most out of the ARM CoreLink™ NIC-400."  In this blog, I'll give a high level overview of what…
