Architectures and Processors blog

Continuing on from my earlier blog: A Brief History of Arm, I pick up the history of Arm in 1998 as it became a public company after being floated on the London stock exchange (FTSE) and the NASDAQ.

In early 2015, ARM announced a suite of IP for Premium Mobile designs, with the ARM® Cortex®-A72 Processor delivering a 3.5x increase in sustained delivered performance over 28nm Cortex-A15 designs…

Since 2014, there has been an ever increasing number devices shipping with ARMv8-A based Cortex Processors – ranging from $65 smartphones to premium flagship devices.

On the list of activities that system designers enjoy doing, “debugging” is invariably near the bottom. That’s because it is often complicated, time-consuming and downright frustrating to track down and…
