Are you considering making the transition from an Intel-based board to an ARM-based board? While it may seem as simple as swapping one for the other, we all know that things are rarely as simple as they appear.

To that end, I asked two experts at WinSystems…

If you've been following our Exploring the world of ARM based Embedded Computing Boards (ECB) project you know that Texas Instruments is a major player in the ECB market and their Sitara family of processors finds its way onto many boards (click on…

One of the fun parts of our Exploring the world of ARM based Embedded Computing Boards (ECB) project has been hearing about all the creative ways that embedded computing boards are being used in non traditional ways.  A great example of this is in high…

In recent months, the Femtoduino crew has been hard at work developing a range of new boards, including their highly-popular IMUduino BTLE, and even more recently, the uber-mini FemtoUSB. Now, after much anticipation, the crew has returned with a dime…

Since we launched the Embedded Computing Board (ECB) Resource Guide last month we have seen so much innovation in the embedded computing board world that I can now definitely say its not a sleepy market anymore! A good example was my lively conversation…

The ARM Single Board Computers has been up for a month now and on a weekly basis we are hearing about innovation in the board market and there is no better way to understand whats happening than talking to CTOs of board vendors so this week I spoke to…

As I immersed myself in the world of Embedded Computing Boards it quickly became clear that the early days of the market were driven by Aerospace applications so it made sense to talk to Curtiss-Wright who is legendary in this market.  Legendary you say…

When it comes to obtaining an embedded Linux devices like the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone for a project, most Makers would simply head online and purchase one. That is unless you’re “hak8or,” who decided to produce his own uber mini board…

System design used to be an exercise in optimizing speed. That has since changed. Nowadays, embedded systems pack plenty of performance to handle a number of task, leading the challenge for designers to shift to completing those tasks using as little…

As we look in depth at the rapid increase of ARM based Embedded Computing Boards (ECBs) coming to market we are talking to industry experts, analysts, silicon partners and board vendors to help us understand the market dynamics. One really interesting…

As part of the preparation for the launch of the ARM Embedded Computing Board (ECB) resource guide I spoke to Thomas Aubin of Microchip about their approach to the market.  Thomas is a product marketing manager focusing on the SMART ARM Cortex-A based…

As part of the preparation for the launch of the ARM Embedded Computing Board (ECB) resource guide, I spoke to Chris Rommel who is Vice President for IoT & Embedded Technology at Boston-based VDC Research.  Chris has deep knowledge of this industry…

Anyone taking a serious look at the embedded market really has to speak to Freescale because the whole market came about because Motorola (Freescale’s former parent) was so successful with the 68000 architecture in embedded computing boards.  The good…

The ARM team have just come back from another successful Embedded World. For those who aren’t familiar, Embedded World is the biggest embedded trade show, attracting exhibitors and visitors from across the embedded industry, and hosted in Nuremberg, Germany…

Most of you who’ve lived through the late ‘80s and ‘90s can’t distinctly recollect those Life Alert commercials with Mrs. Fletcher yelling, “Help! I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!” Lo and behold, the catchphrase would go on to become a pop culture phenomenon…

In 2014, TAO Wellness wowed the CES crowd with its smartphone-sized WellShell exercise device. This year, the team debuted its consumer-ready version along with a brand new prototype for their TAO Chair, allowing users to burn calories right from the…

Anyone who has ever attended an electronic dance concert or a nightclub knows that music and vibrant lights go together like a rama lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong. Well, a Bay Area-based startup is now converging these two into a slick set of earbuds…

I'd like to present real-time kernel: TNeo.

TNeo was born as a thorough review and re-implementation of TNKernel. The new kernel has well-formed code, inherited bugs are fixed as well as new features being added, it is well documented and tested carefully…

For our first interview during Kickstarter Week we decided to start at the beginning of hardware design and look at the development board choices for aspiring Kickstarters. This is a good news scenario compared to just a few years ago because not only…

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 the term “embedded" has become. The term…

I believe that the Arm Community could be interested in the "Embedded C Programming Course with Arm Cortex-M" video course, which I've been teaching for over a year on YouTube. The playlist for this course is available below.
