SOMNIUM DRT is is a set of development tools for ARM Cortex-M based devices such as the STM32 devices from STMicroelectronics. It is fully compatible with industry-standard tools such as the GNU toolchain and Eclipse IDE. DRT uses our patented techniques…

This blog is the second in a series on the new debug features in SOMNIUM DRT. The first one was about the live expression view.

Debugging is difficult, especially when unexpected errors cause the program to behave unpredictably, such as writing to an invalid…

Advances in processor architecture and connectivity technology have pushed embedded solutions into an increasing set of applications as demonstrated by ARM® partners shipping over 4 billion devices into that market in 2014.  The availability of an increasing…

ARM Executive VP Dipesh Patel delivered a keynote address at the recent 25th anniversary Synopsys Users' Group event in Silicon Valley on designing products for the IoT. The full title is: "The Internet of Completely Different Things."

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…

At the recent Embedded World show in Nuremberg running from 24^th to 26^th Feb 2015 we saw the first MCU offerings from ARM’s silicon partners based on the high performance Cortex-M7, which is the latest member of the ARM Cortex-M processor family.  The…

Hi all,

my presentation is related to Cortex-M exception handling. I have found the method to extract exception information form an exception stack frame.  Usually it can be done by getting the stack top by using the inline assembler as described in the…

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…

As we learned during Kickstarter Week modern development boards are amazing tools that have put the power of the microprocessor into the hands of hobbyists and entrepreneurs everywhere. These development boards are capable of handling multiple inputs…

Freescale's booth at Maker Faire in San Mateo featured a large 4320 LED video panel, controlled by a single Teensy 3.1 board powered by Freescale's Kinetis K20 microcontroller (featuring an Arm Cortex-M4).

Erin Murphy, Paul Stoffregen and Robin…

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.

There are many topics in the C language that often confuse developers but the use of the static keyword seems to be one of the more common. One of the points of confusion is how static affects variables that are local and variables that are global. In…

Yesterday in Shanghai, Freescale Semiconductor made a significant announcement to bring their Kinetis EA series of MCUs into the automotive market.

Thus far, ARM’s success in automotive has mainly been with the ARM® Cortex®-A and Cortex…
