In this blog we run through branch and call sequences to explain what they are and how to use them as well as interworking branches between Arm and Thumb Code.

ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers are becoming the defacto standard for the next generation of low power control applications.This paper looks at the various criteria to be considered when selecting…

Portable, battery powered devices are sweeping through society like wild fire.  Mobile computing and sensor devices are springing up everywhere providing engineers with not only a plethora of data but…

ARM architecture is supported by all popular RTOS vendors in embedded. Here is a table showing the RTOS companies, their products, and an indication of which ARM processors they support.

This blog describes how to get Android running on ARM-based SoC boards. We run through the overall procedure and point out potential pitfalls and other things that you may encounter.

Today, using one of the early examples from the CUDA toolkit, I’m going to introduce a neat feature of CUDA 5 and CUDA 5.5 - dynamic parallelism - and how to use Arm DDT to debug it.

Blog orgininally posted on 11 July 2011 on blogs.arm.comHaving chosen the optimal implementation, as described in the previous blog (Elba - How do we know it works?) we now turned our attention to power…

The hwmon is a generic Linux kernel subsystem, providing access to hardware monitoring components like temperature or voltage/current sensors. Traditionally interfaced via external buses like I2C, many…

ARM-based platforms come in a range of processor configurations, and these platforms often have more than one ARM processor.  Traditionally these have been Symmetric Multi Processing (SMP) systems, where…

This blog shows step-by-step how to build the UEFI software and debug it at source level, including all dynamically loaded modules (DLLs), using the ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5) toolchain.

This blog covers three areas of GCC’s command line options: CPU, floating point and SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) acceleration.

It all started back in 2008, I'd been looking at what the Software Bill-of-Materials would be for an ARM-based Netbook. I'm a great fan of JEOS (Just-Enough-OS) to support the end users software…
