ARM has always been committed to work with the ecosystem and cooperate with partners to get the best out of our cores. One important aspect of the cooperation is sharing what we have done in the open source…

Since our successful demonstration at SIGGRAPH, ARM and Collabora have continued to work together on providing the best possible platform for media playback and presentation. Numerous applications such…

After migrating from an Arduino to a Raspberry Pi, Maker Jonathan Peace discovered that there were still some things that he just couldn’t do with a barebones Unix platform. In search of a way to help…

When it comes to obtaining an embedded Linux devices like the Raspberry Pi for a project, most Makers would head online and buy one. That is unless you’re hak8or, who created his own embedded Linux computer…

Most people use Mali Graphics Debugger (MGD) to help debug OpenGL® ES applications on Linux or Android. However graphics is not the only API that is supported by MGD, in-fact MGD supports applications…

OpenGL ES is the standard API for 2D and 3D graphics on embedded systems, which includes mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs, consoles, and other appliances and vehicles. The API is a well-defined subset…

IntroductionGame developers are regularly looking for efficient methods for implementing stunning effects in their games. This is especially important when targeting mobile platforms as resources should…

In this blog I give a technical overview of what's needed to make the shadow technique work in your project. Why do I mention reflections based on local cubemaps? Because once you have implemented these…

Efficiency is at the heart of the ARM® architecture. ARM cores are commonly used in products where power consumption and battery life are critical considerations, but this can pose additional challenges…

In DS-5 v5.21 Snapshot Viewer has been improved, with additional functionality and better ease of use. This release extends support to include ARM®v8 architecture, all core registers plus peripheral SFRs…

With Mali Graphics Debugger you can edit OpenGL® ES shaders on the fly on your Android or Linux device while the game is still running. In fact, the tool will replay a frame over and over with modified…

Every year at GDC, we like to present some important updates regarding the development tools for game developers that target devices with ARM® Mali GPUs. In 2013,we previewed Mali Graphics Debugg…

Last week, several of our partners unveiled new Chrome OS devices powered by Cortex-A17 based processor. These new products include two Chromebooks from Haier and HiSense at very competitive low price…

We have just released a new version of ARM DS-5 Development Studio, and here I am presenting the new features of Streamline performance analyzer. In this release we have focused on supporting new ARM semiconductor…

ARM’s Fixed Virtual Platforms have become a key vehicle to enable software development for the most recent ARM processors and ARM System IP. ARM’s Fast Models for the processors have proven to fulfill…

I received my STM32F411RE Nucleo board last weekend. The only drawback was missing USB OTG connector for STM32F411RE. The platform is Mbed enabled and the ST Link debugger provides Mbed interface.

In late 2014, Carbon released the first Carbon Performance Analysis Kit (CPAK) utilizing the ARM CoreLink CCN-504 Cache Coherent Network. Today, the CCN-504 can be built on Carbon IP Exchange with a wide…

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…
