Embedded developers should know the differences between cellular and Wi-Fi types of connectivity, especially when moving from prototyping to production designs. Is cellular connectivity more difficult…

The course starts from the beginning and is structured as a series of short, focused, hands-on lessons that teach you how to program Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers in C.

There was so much I wanted to share about my one day at Maker Faire that I needed to write two blogs. My first thoughts are in My First Maker Faire: Engineers and Kids at Play.Massimo launching the Arduino…

Freescale's booth at Maker Faire featured a large 4320 LED video panel, controlled by a single Teensy 3.1 board powered by Freescale's Kinetis K20 MCU.

At Maker Faire in San Mateo Arduino and Atmel announced the Arduino Zero, powered by an Atmel ARM Cortex-M0+ based microcontroller. The Arduino Zero is a great tool for prototyping, hobbyists and makers…

Experts from ARM share insights and differing viewpoints on the big issues facing wearable developers of software applications. Software developers must address many domains to successfully design the…

Wearable technology is the most talked about next-generation trend, predicted to hugely disrupt the consumer electronics landscape - and ARM is right at the centre of its emergence and growth.

While the majority of Cortex-M processor-based microcontrollers are single core designs, some new microcontrollers with multiple Cortex-M processors are also available.

There are many topics in the C language that often confuse developers but the use of the static keyword seems to be one of the more common.

1. Introduction    Most of the new ARM processors have Vector Floating Point (VFP) coprocessor which provide hardware implementation of floating point operations. The VFP capability offers the enhanced…

For 3 years, my Mac has been very, very, very (and I mean very, very, very) sluggish.Typing on the keyboard would give me approximately 1 character per second.Sometimes I even had to resort to using my…

Besides the C and C++ programming languages which most software developers use, various programming methods and languages are available for microcontroller programming.

Yesterday in Shanghai, Freescale Semiconductor made a significant announcement to bring their Kinetis EA series of MCUs into the automotive market.Thus far, ARM’s success in automotive has mainly been…

It’s that time of the year again where spring is in full force, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and this year’s college graduates are spreading their wings and sending out resumes.  Despite at least…

Arm Cortex-M processors offer versatile interrupt priority management but the multiple priority numbering conventions can lead to bugs. I explain the subject and cut through the confusion.

What exactly is rapid prototyping ?Sometimes we get some great ideas; some ideas are forgotten due to it took too long to build other ideas.But if we could just build our circuits as quickly as they came…
