It’s so humbling to see how many Arm partners are keen to share the stories of what they do with Arm and how Mali GPUs enable them to create bigger and better devices, applications and games every single…

IoT is neither hype nor hope, but moving to a world of billions of interconnected, secure, easy-to-use devices with a profitable business model is not simple. That was the consensus of a panel at Bluetooth…

Day one of GDC 2016 has flown by in a whirlwind so I’m pausing for a minute to pop down my highlights. As a relative newby to the graphics industry this is my first time at GDC (and in the US!) so I’m…

Critical Link is often asked to help cost-out the differences between a single-board chip-down solution and a solution that incorporates a som.  It’s well known that HDI (high density interconnect) and…

Let us start with the first decade, by this I mean 2000 to 2010, the Triassic period of Bluetooth devices: Bluetooth was introduced in 1999 and its goal was to be a wire replacement technology. And that…

Within a days, if all goes well and the weather holds, ARM software engineer mattdupuy will stand atop one of the world’s tallest peaks, kitted out with ARM-powered wearables and mobile devices and sporting…

The LTE Cat-M (Cat-M1) standard is a cellular standard and has a number of benefits compared to the non-cellular technologies.

We’d like to welcome all of you and describe few interesting issues we encounter during our work with ARMv8 and FreeBSD. In this cycle it is planned to talk a little about various bugs found in the kernel…

CMSIS++ is a portable, vendor-independent hardware abstraction layer intended for C++/C embedded applications, designed with special consideration for the industry standard Arm Cortex-M processor series…

A journalist recently said to me:“The trouble with IoT is that it isn't making a visible difference yet.”I had to disagree, at least in part. IoT IS making a difference but a key part of that difference…

In this blog we show how to combine different types of reflections. We also show importance of rendering stereo reflections in VR and provide an implementation of stereo reflections in Unity.

At embedded world 2016 ARM announced the smallest and lowest power ARMv8-A ARM Cortex-A32 processor, providing ultra-efficient 32-bit compute for the next generation of embedded products.We also announced…

Ever wondered if Virtual Reality will really take off this time around, or why it never managed to before? VR is big news all over again and everyone’s talking about its possibilities and all the innovative…

It has been year since ARM got into the Bluetooth Smart business with the acquisition of Wicentric, a software company, which was followed up by the purchase of Sunrise Micro Devices, a radio IP company…

Everyone wants the best of both worlds. We don’t want to pay a fortune for a phone, but we do still expect it to do everything we need it to. Whether that’s taking crystal clear pictures to share on social…

We demand more of our phones than ever. These demands have to be possible within the constraints of the mobile form factor and its power limits. Achieving these goals without a premium price tag is a challenge…

We look at debugging tips for Fortran and F90 developers to show why and how to use a debugger for some typical bugs.

If you haven’t been in the embedded space long, it’s difficult to appreciate the sector’s technological evolution in recent years. Back in the day, 4-, 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) ruled the roost…

CMSIS Version 5 - StatusCMSIS Version 5 will focus on improvements and further industry adoption. The license will be changed to the permissive Apache 2.0 license, to enable contributions from interested…

Welcome back to the third post in my Virtual Reality (VR) blog series. We’ve already discussed the reasoning behind our interest in VR as a major driving force for graphics development, but even in the…

You may have assumed that Mobile World Congress is an event that is entirely dedicated to the smartphones and devices that have changed our lives over the past couple of decades.
