• Request for advise on better ARM learning path for VLSI engineer

    I am a experinced VLSI/ASIC logic design engineer living in Israel who wants to educate himself FPGA design with embedded ARM on the private basis. Please, advise on the better path how to do that. For example, "go to this ARM site link such and such…

  • How can I learn to build my own computer with Arm processors?

    Hi dears.

    I am looking for a book explained how to make a computer by using Arm core processors?

  • TRACEDATA Capture issues

    Hi there,

    I am the author of the open source Orbuculum tools for SWO data parsing on CORTEX-M targets. I am currently expanding those tools by implementing 1, 2 & 4-bit parallel TRACEDATA capture from CORTEX-M3/M4 CPUs using a small FPGA connected to…

  • Bypassing all clock gates in Cortex-R52 (ARMv8)

    Hello,

    (#context): I have a Cortex-R52 in the SoC design. My team is in charge of FPGA prototyping of the entire/part of the SoC. I am prototyping (on FPGA) part of the SoC which has the R52 plus some other IPs.

    (#problem): It's not possible to close…

  • Partial Word Access to Altera Avalon Memory-Mapped Slave

    when I say partial word access, I mean 16-bit (two byte) or 8-bit (byte) read/write.

    Background:

    In one of our recent projects, Cyclone V SoC is used to replace 386 CPU in an existing product.

    I am responsible for the board and FPGA design. Another software…

  • Can the ARM corrupt the timing on the AXI bus

    I have a Cyclone V SOC system, and the ARM is running Linux, and the FPGA is running SDI video and VIP suite items. The FPGA DDR memory is being used by the VIP suite and all works well. The ARM is using the DDR memory attached to it, and Linux does not…

  • Exploring Total Cost of Ownership: Single Board vs SOM Solution

    Following on the heels of a recent post highlighting trade-offs in HDI technology and layer count of a single-board versus a som solution and how that drives bare_board costs, we wanted to take the next step and examine the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO…

  • The three embedded market trends you should be considering

    EmbeddedMarketTrends.PNGWe at Critical Link have worked on some pretty complex applications for nearly 20 years, and so we’re exposed in real time to trends in the embedded systems market. Our work creating mitysom system-on-modules, custom baseboards, and complete ground…

  • 0 to 25 board partners in under 2 years,  Zynq delivers

    As we started to research ARM based Embedded Computing Board (ECB) manufacturers for our Embedded Computing Board (ECB) Resource Guide Dave Tokic of Xilinx told us that there are now 25 companies making ECBs based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC. 

    If you…
