This is the first article of a series that will focus on the implementation of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) using the mixed-radix method on Mobile ARM Mali GPU by means of OpenCL.

Yesterday ARM introduced its highest performing and most power efficient display processor technology, the ARM® Mali™-DP650, which targets next generation premium and mass market devices.  The Mali-DP650…

We at Critical Link have worked on some pretty complex applications for nearly 20 years, and so we’re exposed in real time to trends in the embedded systems market. Our work creating mitysom system…

The beginning of a year brings with it the potential of many new things; resolutions, good habits and of course the new gadgets that promise to change our lives at CES. Amidst the glitz of promises of…

During CES 2016, Microchip unveiled a complete, ultra-low-power connected platform for cost-optimized IoT and wearable applications. This new platform features the world’s lowest power ARM Cortex-M0+,…

The proliferation of electronics within vehicle design is making cars “sexy again,” but more importantly automotive electronics is making the overall digital experience sexier.That was the word from two…

Sensor hubs have gained traction among design teams in recent years, as the marriage blossoms between evolving (and power-sensitive) hardware and smart software algorithms.

The Arm architecture continues to evolve and Armv8.2-A is the second set of changes being introduced to the Armv8-A architecture profile.

Hello everyone, I would like to know why you are using Cortex-M microcontroller. Why don't you adopt other microcontrollers such as 8-bit, 16-bit or MIPS or x86? The background is that I plan to write…

Dangling pointers are pointers whose memory has been freed but which have not been set to null (or 0x0). This allows a particularly tricky class of bug to arise...

This blog is based on a recent article written by Geomerics for the publication Making Games. For more information on any of the techniques outlined in this blog, read more here.Lighting is the most fundamental…

Hi everyone,At VIA Embedded we had a pretty good year for our ARM projects, and thought I share with you our highlights for 2015. New Hardware ARTiGO A600 ARTiGO A820 QSM-8Q60 Software updates…

ARM®’s newest high performance GPU, the Mali™-T880, delivers better than ever graphics performance whilst remaining well within the energy constraints of a mobile platform. The exciting possibilities this…

As discussed in our virtual reality (VR) intro blog, whilst the VR industry is moving from strength to strength, there are still a few key issues which often stand in the way of developing a truly successful…

OverviewThe GNU ARM Eclipse project includes a set of open source Eclipse plug-ins and tools to create/build/debug/manage ARM (32-bits) and AArch64 (64-bits) applications and static/shared libraries, using…

Nathan Clough speaks with Grant Sinclair, nephew of the inventor behind the UK’s first affordable mass-market home computer, to hear of his new invention - the Poco.

This paper, jointly authored by Hillcrest Labs and ARM, sets out to explain the background of sensor fusion processing and to present to the reader the advances in device capability that will be enabled…

In this White Paper, commissioned by ARM, author and leading industry commentator John Blyler (jblyler), takes a look at the current economics of custom System-on-Chip development relative to discrete…

Introduction Link Time Optimization (LTO) is a form of interprocedural optimization which, as the name suggests, is performed at the time of linking a program. This is particularly useful when building…

New data shows that the break-even, return on investment (RoI) point continues to fall as custom SoCs compete directly with traditional discrete IC board designs.By jblyler, Editorial Director, JB SystemsCompelling…

The most advanced System on Chip in the world is only so much inert silicon without the printed circuit board that supplies it with power, connects its interfaces and otherwise gives it a home where it…
