Microcontrollers have proliferated into every nook and cranny of our daily lives from simple 8-bit devices that control our toaster ovens to powerful 32-bit DSP’s that provide us with the rich media and…

Kicking off this week for the world of supercomputing is the 2014 International Supercomputing Conference in Leipzig, Germany. One of the major supercomputing conferences, ISC is Europe’s largest supercomputing…

Avoiding M2M pitfalls will require an open, internet-based approach that decouples IoT devices from services. But what role will standards play? In Part I of this interview, Zach Shelby, business development…

This blog has been written before but quite a few things have improved in the ease of use and breadth of support of Streamline use on Android in the past few years. For starters, Mac OS X is well supported…

Last week, I received the call for papers for the Embedded World Conference for 2015. The list of topics is a good reminder of how broad the world of embedded systems is. It also reminded me how overloaded…

SAN FRANCISCO--We've written a lot about the really fun, really clever ARM Step Challenge at DAC 2014. From the initial The ARM Step Challenge at DAC: Throwing Down the Gauntlet post to The Aftermath…

Blog post title by Albert EinsteinAfter a long winter in Cleveland, it’s been difficult to get up and moving again. You could say that I have a large inertia – I am resistant to change my state of motion…

Modern games and applications really push the boundaries of real-time graphics and user interfaces on mobile and to do this they need all the components of the system to work together to provide the performance…

Embedded developers should know the differences between cellular and Wi-Fi types of connectivity, especially when moving from prototyping to production designs. Is cellular connectivity more difficult…

Two very different analysts stress the importance of software in chip and server ecosystems. Last week, veteran semiconductor electronic design automation (eda) analyst garysmith made the following ob…

My DAC started early last Monday morning with a delicious breakfast and a lively discussion with robaitken of ARM, Kelvin Low of Samsung Electronics, Glenn Dukes of Synopsys and skillfully moderated by…

Chinese Version 中文版：[原创翻译]GPU通用计算有兴趣吗？你有多种选择！The most notable addition to OpenGL® ES when version 3.1 was announced at GDC earlier this year was Compute Shaders. Whilst similar to vertex and fragment…

For those of you who don’t already know about mbed, it is an open-source, ARM-based hardware and software platform designed for professional rapid prototyping of products and mass production. Since…

There has been lots of interest in ARM Trusted Firmware.  We are aware that YouTube is unavailable to some parts of the world so you might like these links that should work anywhere:Go to the session link…

The ARM Trusted Firmware team have just released v0.4 under a permissive BSD license to enable the ARM ecosystem with a high quality reference implementation of:1. Secure Monitor Calls (SMC) Calling Convention2…

"What escalator?""What elevator?""Can I give you a walking demo instead?"I've finally come to the point where I don't feel guilty for giving my feet a rest - and this is most likely true for all of those…

The course starts from the beginning and is structured as a series of short, focused, hands-on lessons that teach you how to program Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers in C.

In this article, I will give an introduction of TEE (trusted execution environment) and ARM TrustZone based on my one and a half year experimentation on several ARM platforms when implementing T6.

Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) is a powerful tool in signal and image processing. One very valuable optimization technique for this type of algorithm is vectorization. This article discusses the motivation…

This year at GDC Khronos announced the latest version of the OpenGL® ES API. OpenGL ES 3.1 is taking a step up from OpenGL ES 3.0 to enable new, fascinating mobile graphics content. With headline features…

There was so much I wanted to share about my one day at Maker Faire that I needed to write two blogs. My first thoughts are in My First Maker Faire: Engineers and Kids at Play.Massimo launching the Arduino…
