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…

In this blog I look at system design patterns useful in the construction of IoT architecture solutions, with a focus on common patterns for interoperability.

Freescale's booth at Maker Faire featured a large 4320 LED video panel, controlled by a single Teensy 3.1 board powered by Freescale's Kinetis K20 MCU.

I didn't get a chance to participate in the ARM Community Step Challenge at Mobile World Congress, alas. ( ARM Step Challenge: “Who is the ‘hardest working’ at MWC?”) But I…

At Maker Faire in San Mateo Arduino and Atmel announced the Arduino Zero, powered by an Atmel ARM Cortex-M0+ based microcontroller. The Arduino Zero is a great tool for prototyping, hobbyists and makers…

With the first Cortex-A53 based SoCs due to ship in the coming months, and Cortex-A57 based designs to follow early next year, ARM gave us a quick update on performance expectations for both cores. Given…

If the IoT isn’t just hype, then how is it different from M2M? Why are decoupled devices and permissionless innovation key for the IoT to succeed?

The University Programs of ARM® and Xilinx® recently collaborated to produce an ARM-Xilinx SoC Lab-in-a-Box One-day Workshop based on the freely accessible ARM Cortex®-M0 DesignStart™ Processor…

OMA Lightweight M2M protocol is a device management protocol developed by Open Mobile Alliance. Technically, it is a communication protocol for use between client software on a M2M device and  server software…

Previous blog in the series: Mali Performance 2: How to Correctly Handle Framebuffers This week I'm finishing off my slight diversion into the land of application framebuffer management with an analysis…

I attended Cable Show 2014 where I presented a demo that integrated several smart light devices with an interactive television application. In this post I'll give an overview of the demo system.

Note this blog is only valid for Linaro distributions up to 2014. Newer distributions support AEMv8 Base Model as supplied with DS-5 5.24 and later. For information on this model, see here.For instructions…

As the number of processors and I/O masters in an SoC continues to rise the need for an efficient and easy to design interconnect becomes critical. An interconnect must provide sufficient throughput and…

Today we posted a new video tutorial on the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) and related technology for discovery and semantics from the IETF. In this tutorial I cover the background and motivation…

Previously, I explained how to create a minimal, single-core ARM® Cortex™-A15 system running Linux®. In this article I will update the hardware design to use a dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU and run SMP…
