  • Porting to Arm 64-bit

    This white paper is an introduction to porting existing code to the A64 instruction set supported by Armv8-A processors like the Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 from Arm. It will also be useful for those writing new code for these platforms.

    Why 64-bit?

  • What's the relationship between exclusive access and memory cacheable in Cortex A53?

    Hello community and experts,

             I am doing an experiment on Cortex-A53 which executes some exclusive access instructions such as 'ldaxr'.

             When I config memory to Normal type+cacheable, 'ldaxr' can execute well. But if I config memory to Normal…

  • Is Juno Board suitable for ARM BSP development?

    We are interested in developing Board Support Package and Bootloader code for SOCs based on ARMv8 Architecture (A57/A53). Can someone please suggest is Juno Board a good option for it?

    We are interested in writing the BSP code for Memory Controller, UART…

  • ARM Shares Updated Cortex-A53/A57 Performance Expectations

    1.jpg

    With the first Cortex-A53 based SoCs due to ship in the coming months, and Cortex-A57 based designs to follow early next year, ARM gave us a quick update on performance expectations for both cores. Given the timing of both designs we'll see a combination…

  • The Top 5 Things to Know about Cortex-A53

    The Arm Cortex-A53 was introduced to the market in October 2012, delivering the Armv8 instruction set and significantly increased performance in a highly efficient power and area footprint. It is available for licensing now, and will be deployed in silicon…

  • High efficiency, midrange or high performance Cortex-A - What is the difference?

    A question that I am asked many times is – what is the fundamental difference between the high efficiency, mid range and the high performance application processors in the ARM Cortex family?

    The simple answer to this is – the power budget…
