The announcement of the ARM®Cortex®-A35 processor today marks the beginning of a new family of ultra high efficiency application processors from ARM. So, what are the key features of Cortex-A35 and what…

Vertex interleavingRecently we were asked via the community whether there was an advantage in either interleaving or not interleaving vertex attributes in buffers. For the uninitiated, vertex interleaving…

What’s better than a bio-inspired, crawling robot? A spider bot that you can build yourself, that’s what. Locomotion mimicking nature has been around for a little while, but up until now has only been…

ABSTRACT The media is buzzing with articles every week about the benefits of deploying IoT systems across various industries. Some forecasts mention the trillions of dollars that will be saved on a global…

Semihalf is happy to present the first blog post from the planned series of topics covering interesting facts about porting FreeBSD to Armv8 architecture.

This blog post refers to the public ARM Mali Midgard r6p0 user-space binary drivers for GNU/Linux. The fbdev variant now has support for dma-buf using a standard ioctl, which I explain in detail.

System optimization involves running Linux applications and understanding the impact on the hardware and other software in a system. It would be great if system optimization could be done by running benchmarks…

Yesterday, the Media Processing Group at ARM announced a new highly-efficient graphics processing unit (GPU), the ARM® Mali™-470, to enable smartphone-quality visuals on wearable and IoT devices: …

I expected a very straightforward tuning process – after all, this code has been a staple of the HPC community for decades – but as it turns out I was in for a surprise!

When we look at what’s happening in consumer electronic devices, you can see there is a clear evolution path. The smartphone has become the central computing device for most people and it is now being…

Hi all, I can finally share with you some of the interesting work we have been doing around Cortex-M0 Design Start and FPGA. ARM has re-launched the Cortex-M Design Start program making it more easily…

This week Google launched their new Chromecast audio and encouraged you to switch to WiFi for your streaming audio. The shift in audio listening habits is real, content is no longer local, and streaming…

A London-based startup raises the concept of wearables design to a new level. BLOCKS, the brainchild of Ali Tahmasebzadeh and Serge Vasylechko, launched its Kickstarter program for a design considered…

OverviewThe GNU ARM Eclipse project includes a set of open source Eclipse plug-ins and tools to create/build/debug/manage ARM (32-bit) and AArch64 (64-bit) applications and static/shared libraries, using…

If you missed the live Sensor Fusion and Contextual Awareness Hangout, you can watch the playback on the ARMFlix channel on Youtube here: You can find bios of all the participants on the intro blog he…

Hello all,My name is Dale Whinham, and I’m an intern within the Media Processing Group at ARM. I have been working with ARM over the summer to produce some additional sample code for the Mali SDK, which…

The winners of the ARM® Smart Product Design Competition each produced real world problem-solving products in just three months, all without prior experience with ARM tools.The top five finishers were…

More times than not, developers are faced with two bad options: either deliver a substandard product quickly, or reinvent the wheel and miss the market altogether. Luckily, one Santa Barbara-based startup…

Hardware interoperability is a long-standing issue. Ideally different computer and microcontroller boards expose their internals the way it fits their capabilities best. On the other hand, ideally peripherals…

Meet William Weatherholtz and team, who just won the inveneo solar-powered Micro-Data Center Design Challenge for their Micro Weather station design.

Last October we announced that ARM and our partners were creating a software ecosystem and new operating system for Internet-connected devices with standards support, low power and security as key goals…
