Architectures and Processors blog

ArmTechCon 2016 is nearly upon us, and there’s so much high quality technical content in the conference programme and exhibition floor that the only difficulty you’ll have is choosing what to attend

Open standards foster innovation, collaboration and choice. This blog discusses how 3 open interconnect standards, AMBA, CCIX and Gen-Z, complement each other within the datacenter.

At the Linley Processor Conference earlier this week, I had the opportunity to present the challenges facing architects who are building hardware for distributed cloud intelligence. I also discussed how…

A few weeks ago VORAGO Technologies issued a press release to announce that our VA10800 microcontroller had just surpassed 4000 hours of successful operation at 200C.

Functional safety is about ensuring that products operate safely and do so even when they go wrong. My colleague hopkins shares some insight on why you can’t choose to ignore it.

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…

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…

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+.

Chinese version(中文版):让下一代智能互联嵌入式应用开发更简化 (Editor's note: This article was originally published February 2015 in RTC Magazine and has been updated with new product information. The original article can…

Today we have exciting news: ARM and Intel Custom Foundry have announced an agreement to accelerate the development and implementation of ARM SoCs on Intel’s 10nm process. Specifically, we are making ARM…

Below, I suggest a list of books and papers about the Arm architecture.

Power management is important, and has become increasingly complex. Recently, we have created an application note. See details below. Hopefully, you will find it useful.PurposeProvides high-level considerations…

The VA10820 microcontroller was created to give designers a guaranteed rad-hard ARM Cortex-M0 that will operate reliably in space, at a fraction of the cost of an old-school space market FPGA.

SemiWiki's book PROTOTYPICAL: The Emergence of FPGA-Based Prototyping for SoC Design explores ARM’s role in FPGA prototyping technology. Read an excerpt here.

The ISC16 event occurred last week in Frankfurt, Germany. ISC stands for International Super-computing and while ARM is known for its energy-efficient, mobile CPU cores, we are beginning to make some waves…

This document demonstrates how to generate a library containing an assembly procedure that will be called through the Java Native Interface, within an Android project written in Java as an example. The…

Calling Java methods through native ARM assembly code, with an Android app and the JNI

The amount of data that consumers are producing is increasing at a phenomenal rate, and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Cisco estimated last year that global mobile data traffic would multiply…
