Less than one minute read time.

ARM has started what I find an interesting series of presentations giving facts about their products.

Here is the list so far:

  • Ten Things to Know About big.LITTLE
  • Five things you didn't know about the ARM® Cortex®-A15 Processor
  • Five things you may not know about ARM Cortex-M0+
  • The Top 5 Things to Know about Cortex-A53
  • Top five things to know about Cortex-A5 processor
  • The Top 5 Things to Know about Cortex-A12
  • 10 useful tips to using the floating point unit on the ARM® Cortex®-M4 processor
  • The Top 5 Things to Know about Cortex®-A7
  • 10 Useful Facts of the Cortex-M System Design Kit (CMSDK)
  • Five things you may not know about ARM Cortex-M
  • Five things you may not know about Cortex-R Series processors

    In this, I have only listed the "Top x Things You Did Not Know About" content. There were too many to feature them all on the group overview page so grouped them here not to swamp that overview page whilst still being able to feature them. This document also allows people to go from one to the next through the "Incoming Links" section on the right column for each of them.

    For an index of all documents, here is a live link: ARM Processors Documents

    Thanks for the index.  I'm a huge fan of this style of blogs.  Lists are easy to read and retain information.

    May I suggest a few others?

    • A Walk Through the Cortex-A Mobile Roadmap by brianjeff
    • What is the latest progress on big.LITTLE technology? (has a list of 3 categories of big.little runtime behavior)
    • Getting started with ARM Microcontroller Resources by jyiu
