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…
