In recent months, the Femtoduino crew has been hard at work developing a range of new boards, including their highly-popular IMUduino BTLE, and even more recently, the uber-mini FemtoUSB. Now, after much…

My last blog looked at some of the critical areas which an application has to implement efficiently to get best performance out of 3D content, such as broad-brush culling of large sections of a scene…

With all the buzz around crowdfunding new hardware and after meeting some of the founders of these startups I thought it wise to talk to someone who has literally written a book on electronic products…

Read the new white paper about OpenDataPlane (ODP), a standardized data plane API that can be used to support Linux-based network applications across the array of silicon architectures and hardware/software…

Since we launched the Embedded Computing Board (ECB) Resource Guide last month we have seen so much innovation in the embedded computing board world that I can now definitely say its not a sleepy market…

Following on from the popularity of the Cortex-A Series Programmer’s Guide for ARMv7-A, there is now a programmer's guide for processors implementing the ARMv8-A architecture profile.

The ARM Single Board Computers has been up for a month now and on a weekly basis we are hearing about innovation in the board market and there is no better way to understand whats happening than talking…

After the release the new Yocto-based BSP and Buildroot support for our VAB-820 board, and AMOS-820 system, I had some time to check the new kernel in that package. Being intrigued that the Xenomai real…

ABSTRACTThis guide will show how to get ARM® DS-5™ Streamline™ support working on a production Samsung Galaxy Note 4 device, with minimal modifications.The resulting files generated will be a gatord, gator…

This blog creates a very simple "Hello World" program in DS-5, uses ARM Compiler 6 to create a PIE, then uses the DS-5 Debugger and the AEMv8-A model to run the executable at an arbitrary position in memory…

The evaluation codec for Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression ASTC technology is now available on GitHub, making it easier for you to access, browse and contribute feedback.

Continuing on from my earlier blog: A Brief History of Arm, I pick up the history of Arm in 1998 as it became a public company after being floated on the London stock exchange (FTSE) and the NASDAQ.

In early 2015, ARM announced a suite of IP for Premium Mobile designs, with the ARM® Cortex®-A72 Processor delivering a 3.5x increase in sustained delivered performance over 28nm Cortex-A15 designs…

The Initial SparkWe often faced lot of issues with multiple voltage levels, too many adapters & regulators in almost all our projects.  We also realized that in many instance we do require some basic add…

The dawn of cable-TV systems started over 30 years ago, marked by the need for an electronic tuning device to receive TV channels available on frequencies not able to be tuned in by standard television…

With so many ARM based multicore boards coming to market we are hearing more about systems running multiple operating systems on similar cores (SMP, symmetric multi-processing) or differing cores (AMP…

Since 2014, there has been an ever increasing number devices shipping with ARMv8-A based Cortex Processors – ranging from $65 smartphones to premium flagship devices.

The latest high-performance ARMv8-A processor is the Cortex-A72.The press release reports that the A72 delivers CPU performance that is 50x greater than leading smartphones from five years ago and will…

For a long time, I've not really been interested in 3D programming.(Well, I've done some minor OpenGL programming many years ago, but I must admit that I'm more of a dev-tools programmer)After watching…
