This blog is an update of one I wrote a couple of years ago, referencing the latest FVP models provided with DS-5 (v5.24 at time of writing) and the latest pre-built Linaro distributions. It is intended…

This White Paper is an introduction to porting existing code to the A64 instruction set supported by Armv8-A processors like the Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 from Arm.

The modern smartphone has long since ceased to be just a tool for calling other people. Nowadays we use it as a remote control for our world; recording our experiences first hand, entertainment devices…

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Flashlights are fantastic tools until they die and you find yourself in the dark, fumbling around for replacement batteries. That type of dynamic will constrain the growth of Internet…

Chinese Version（中文版）：ARM 的系统验证：让合作伙伴能够构建更好的系统 (Huge thanks to the system validation team in Bangalore for providing me with all of the technical information here. Much appreciated!)Functional validation…

Introduction Deep in the darkest depths of ARM’s Cambridge campus reside a small team of engineers whose job it is to envision and create forward thinking technology demonstrations based on ARM. That…

This blog will cover the basics of interrupt latency, and what users need to be aware of when selecting a microcontroller with low interrupt latency requirements.

ARM® partner Deepoon recently launched a brand new, all-in-one virtual reality headset powered by ARM. Based on an Exynos 7420 chipset, the Deepoon M2 features an octa core ARM Cortex®-A57 & Cortex-A53…

This blog was written by paulblack to explain some of the new features in DS-5 Development Studio v5.24.In DS-5 v5.24, we’ve made changes to some of the debugger views. These changes are mostly designed…

Following on the heels of a recent post highlighting trade-offs in HDI technology and layer count of a single-board versus a som solution and how that drives bare_board costs, we wanted to take the next…

IntroductionIn ARM® Cortex®-A class CPUs, the Memory Management Unit (MMU) and Operating System (OS) work together to protect address spaces. A process running in unprivileged mode has its own virtual…

“It’s interesting to think you have something in your hands that you don’t quite understand.” You could apply that sentiment to inventions throughout history. You could apply that…

Overview of stack size requirement estimations in Arm Cortex-M based applications.

[note] This is an English translation edition of my article which appeared on the Interface magazine issued by the CQ publishing. I'm sorry for my poor English.[1] Background of the strongest Cortex-M4…

PSoC 4200L, 4200M, 4200BL and 4200 parts boost the flexibility and performance of the PSoC 4 portfolio, by adding Cypress’s unique Programmable Digital Blocks. Programmable Digital Block are hardware…

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…
