Arm’s latest Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A75 CPUs, in addition to being based on DynamIQ technology, implement new instructions, added in Armv8.4-A, to calculate dot products.

Building upon our legacy of early support for Arm IP, DS-5.28 includes new features and configurations to make your debug sessions easier and more productive.

In this post we'll walk through setting up a cluster of Arm machines. We'll use Mesos as the cluster manager, Marathon for container orchestration, Zookeeper as a key-value store, and Weave Net for the…

With Arm Compiler 6, Arm has moved to an advanced, modern compiler based on LLVM framework. But what of the assembler?

In this article I tackle the classic question engineers developing software on custom SoCs grapple with constantly: “How do I test my software before the hardware team gets me a working silicon chip?"

Starting with version 11.1, Fast Models for Cortex-M provide the option of using the ITM for output and event tracing. This makes software development equivalent for models and boards.

Recently, I reviewed the procedure for system profiling and software tracing of Linux running on the Raspberry Pi 3 using Arm DS-5 Streamline. Similar profiling can be done for systems running Android…

Linaro support a solution for trace without external debugger involved. I take a test on Juno-busybox.

In this post I discuss how can you use DS-5 to debug and trace on HiKey 960 board and provide examples of this in practice.

The cloud management software ecosystem has been built with x86 as the primary architecture. As a result, it is a challenge to deploy these tools on Arm and other non-x86 architectures. This post is for…

Arm DS-5 Streamline performance analyzer provides system performance metrics, software tracing and statistical profiling to help engineers get the most performance from hardware and find bottlenecks in…

Arm Compiler 6 is available within DS-5 and Keil MDK toolchains. Furthermore the qualified version is available for purchase stand-alone.

As Product Manager for the Arm Compilers, I’m often asked, Paul, this LTO stuff – what’s it all about? And I reply Ah, I’m glad you asked!

My colleague Jason recently published a very informative blog on enabling the Fast Models Fastline feature, a standard part of Fast Models v11.0 (and later) to generate data for the Streamline profiling…

If you have ever experienced the London Underground rail system you will no doubt have heard the voice intoning the phrase “mind the gap” at many stations.

Arm heterogeneous systems combine a high-performance Cortex-A processor together with an energy-efficient Cortex-M processor, all in a single chip.

Code size is always a popular topic in embedded software because most embedded systems face memory constraints. Compiler related meetings often discuss code size as a key care about. Arm has been migrating…

About the Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 There has been a lot of coverage since the launch of the Arm Cortex-A75, Arm Cortex-A55, and Arm Mali-G72 at Computex 2017, including some information about early software…

These are exciting times for software developers. Arm has just announced the first generation of processors based on Arm DynamIQ technology.

There are three primary technologies provided by ArmDS-5 that all Fast Model users should be aware of to get the maximum benefit from the combination of DS-5 and Fast Models.

Today ARM releases a new version of ARM Development Suite, DS-5.27. We have added new IP support, OS awareness and several other exciting features.
