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.

Ultra-low power applications require careful software validation to achieve long battery lifetimes and sensitive hardware needs electrical isolated test connections to prevent from interference voltages…

Today ARM announced a lower cost, very high performance debug and trace unit to complement the existing ARM DSTREAM and Keil ULINK product families.

ARM DS-5 Development Studio is a suite of tools for editing, compiling, analyzing, and debugging embedded C/C++ software for the ARM architecture. The DS-5 Debugger can be used with virtual prototypes…

Yesterday, I have held a webinar with element14 that talked about the benefits of MDK. Here's the conversation log.

The Streamline Performance Analyser can already make use of the Linux perf sub-system but so far this has only been under the hood via the gator daemon (which can collect other data too).

ARM models can be used to compare optimization switches and understand compiler choices for ARM Compiler 5 and ARM Compiler 6.

It’s DS-5 release time, and this release packs a bunch of new functionality and improvements. Note this release, DS-5 v5.26, is the last release that has support for 32-bit host platforms.

ARM has released new SystemC Cycle Models on ARM IP Exchange. This marks the first time cycle accurate models are available from ARM for SystemC simulation. Along with the new models, a number of example…

Last week, we have released MDK v5.22. This release includes support for ARM Cortex-M33 and ARM Cortex-M23 devices based on the ARMv8-M architecture. MDK v5.22 adds ARM Compiler 6.6 which is required for…

The race is on. The path to secure end-to-end IoT is now paved with the announcement of the ARM® Cortex®-M23  and Cortex-M33  processors. They are the first deeply embedded processors to include…

The ARM® Cortex®-R52 processor is the most advanced processor for functional safety and the first implementation of the ARMv8-R architecture. Along with the announcement of the Cortex-R52, ARM…
