I didn't get a chance to participate in the ARM Community Step Challenge at Mobile World Congress, alas. ( ARM Step Challenge: “Who is the ‘hardest working’ at MWC?”) But I'm pumped beyond reason to be able to do so at the 51st Design Automation Conference in June in San Francisco. I think it's an excellent way to spark conversation around wearables, IoT, embedded technology and the design and verification challenges that abound in these types of consumer applications. And what a fun way to connect ARM partners!
I'm really looking forward to it.
But now comes johnheinlein who sees competitive gold in those San Francisco hills. We are engaged in a Twitter battle (@johnheinleinarm and @bfuller9) over which of us will perform better. John is a worthy competitor, but I think it's important to offer some advice before things get serious June 1:
bfuller better bring his A-game. I've posted a response video (DAC51 ARM Step Challenge: Competitor Interview - YouTube) where we can hear first hand what the competition will really be like. It's intense!
