Gain a deeper understanding of the ARM® Compiler and the optimization techniques it uses. By understanding how to control these optimizations, your code can benefit from speed increases, size savings…

I've just come back from spending two extremely informative days at Mobile Games Forum in London. An event that focuses on the business side of game development, it provides developers with the information…

Now that CES is done for another year, it is worth remembering that the diversity of solutions on display and the proliferation of new device experiences at ever lower costs is due to semiconductor vendors…

MDK uses the concept of Software packs for providing support for microcontroller devices and development boards. Software Packs can also contain software components such as drivers and middleware, including…

If you are a microcontroller designer working on Cortex-M processor based systems looking for an FPGA board for prototyping, I have a great news for you: ARM has released a new FPGA board, the Cortex-M…

Hi I'm very excited to announce of the release of a new product we have been working on for the last few months called the Cortex-M Prototyping System, as part of the Versatile Express family of products…

ARM shone at CES this year and there have already been some fantastic pieces of coverage on our community about it - check out Latest ARM powered tech at CES 2014 with Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and…

Over the last five years, one of the concerning things about virtual prototyping has been the separation between speed and accuracy. The lack of any meaningful connections between models built for speed…

It has been a little more than a year ago since I got my Surface RT tablet from the Microsoft BUILD event and I have committed myself to use it as my only computing companion device (other than my smartphone…

Hello and Happy New Year! So, here we are at the beginning of another new year preparing for Mobile Game Forum (MGF) in the Centre of London.  This event is well attended by developers, game engine providers…

You may have seen that ARM has been developing some low level trusted firmware to provide reference code that supports Secure World software on the latest v8A technology based chips.   The software is…

There are 10 easy steps that can be followed to ensure that the right choice is made for a microcontroller. See the full list in this post.

It often surprises me how many people believe that “ARM doesn’t do division” or “ARM cores don’t have divide hardware”. Of course, that used to be the case – up until the launch of the Cortex brand in…

This blog post was written in conjunction with Ittiam Systems, a technology company singularly focused on embedded media centric systems. For more information concerning the technology below, please contact…

We would like to share with you an Android-based application that enables Intel software on ARM-based devices. To demo you this approach we took Intel version of DOOM and run it on Android-based device…

A lot has changed in a year, and progress stops for no man or woman. I documented last year how to get a standard Linux distribution running on the ARM powered Samsung Series 3 Chromebook, those steps…

One of the most common classes of question in the ARM community which I answer is "How do I do <x> in ARM assembler?". While I am always happy to answer these questions, I thought it would be useful to…

By now, everyone knows that the ARM Cortex-A15 processor is ARM’s highest performance v7a ARM core to date. The Cortex-A15, along with the other ARM-based cores, are helping tablets surge a projected…

FFT feature in ProjectNe101 IntroductionProject Ne10 recently received an updated version of FFT, which is heavily NEON optimized for both ARM v7-A/v8-A AArch32 and v8-A AArch64 and is faster than almost…

Trusted Labs have prepared a great document explaining the GlobalPlatform TEE security certification scheme.  As the importance of security grows this is likely to be an interesting option for silicon…

I created a short introduction to the QVN protocol used with the QVN-400 plugin to NIC-400 and with the DMC-400 dynamic memory controller. This is a non-confidential introductory-level document for those…
