It's no surprise that security for IoT is everywhere at DAC this year! Read this blog post to see some of the top themes!

The modern SoC typically consists of billions of transistors and is normally designed with many modular IP blocks. Each of these blocks have been commercially licensed, developed or reused from previous…

In 2013 ARM announced the AMBA 5 CHI protocol to provide the performance and scale required for infrastructure applications. This blog outlines the 2017 updates to AMBA.

Gone are the days when you used to use manual navigation aids to move around the town. Opening the Global Positioning System (GPS) to public use enticed technology firms to provide automation in navigation…

Designing SoCs is tricky and the performance of your product depends highly on an array of complicated decisions. To guide our partners through the SoC design process, ARM recently announced system guidance…

Safety and security are interesting topics; they are closely related and complementary to one another, despite being distinct disciplines in the context of systems and SoC design.

A closer look at CMN-600 and the other Arm IP available, to complement the recent Cadence Design Systems CCIX launch.

Last week we ran two packed webinars titled “How to implement a secure IoT system on Armv8-M”. During the webinar we looked at how to protect an IoT system from security attacks.
