I lost a few days wondering why some textures were completely distorted when loaded in OpenGL.The thing is, they were only distorted when the colours components were packed as GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1…

SOMNIUM DRT is is a set of development tools for ARM Cortex-M based devices such as the STM32 devices from STMicroelectronics. It is fully compatible with industry-standard tools such as the GNU toolchain…

In a previous blog we talked about running Mali Graphics Debugger on a non-rooted device. In this blog we will focus on how you can add support for Mali Graphics Debugger, on a non-rooted device, to your…

Yesterday we ran our live webinar covering our Arm CryptoCell technology. We covered how attacks on devices are becoming more sophisticated and the impact this has on your security solution.

Arm Cortex-R52 addresses increases sophistication in safety applications which need higher levels of performance, greater support for functional safety and software separation.

The Cortex-M family has 5 processors. This whitepaper compares their features and highlights considerations for selecting the right processor for you.

The cat is out of the bag. There has been a lot of speculation around Apple’s plans to remove the headset jack for the iPhone 7. The recent announcement confirming this will now lead to innovation and…

In the 27 years since its inception, Hot Chips has become one of the world’s leading high performance microporocessor event. Attracting more than 500 attendees from across the world, Hot Chips presents…

Quality Assurance in Manufacturing Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars developing, marketing and distributing drugs to the public. It is a complex, intricate process. Yet for decades, their…

The latest Bluetooth® low energy (Bluetooth 5) standard introduced an increased data rate of 2Mbps as demonstrated with the ARM® Cordio® IP in Prithi Ramakrishnan’s  blog ‘…

A lot can be learned from studying the evolution of mobile security and considering which aspects can be applied to lower cost IoT platforms.  Now that ARM TrustZone for v8-M is becoming available on microcontrollers…

It is difficult to pinpoint the exact date, but over the past few years, IoT has evolved from being an industry specific term, to a concept that’s more commonly understood by people from all walks of life…

In the first Bitesize Bifrost blog we introduced you to our new GPU architecture, Bifrost, and looked specifically at the extensive optimization and power saving benefits provided by clause shaders.  This…

If you are interested in learning more about security and ARM TrustZone CryptoCell technologies, check out our recent webinar Watch now: How to protect your systems with ARM TrustZone CryptoCell.Connected…

As you may have seen, Virtual Reality (VR) is getting increasingly popular. From its modern origins on desktop, it has quickly spread to other platforms, mobile being the most popular. Every time a new…

It has been a while (my apologies) but a few weeks ago I posted about how you can Magically Reduce Coding Time with PSoC Creator. The thrust of the article was, in these days where no-one has time to read…

I introduce the block-level architecture of a stereotypical Bifrost shader core and explain what performance expectations application developers should have of the hardware when it comes to content optimization…

Space radiation can cause different types of problems in an IC that are manifested as latch-up or Single Event Upsets (SEU). Latch-up can be immunized against by hardening the chip with a process enhancement…

I had the opportunity to present the latest update to our Armv8-A architecture, known as the Scalable Vector Extension or SVE. In this post I run through the latest update.

Recently I spoke about a LZ4 decompression routine I converted from 6502 code into a Arm Cortex-M0 code. I could not find my decompression routine, so I decided to convert it again. The result is in this…

In this post I show you some tips and tricks when writing assembly code for Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M0+.
