Continuing on from my earlier blog: A Brief History of Arm, I pick up the history of Arm in 1998 as it became a public company after being floated on the London stock exchange (FTSE) and the NASDAQ.
A walk through of the Microarchitectural improvements in Cortex-A72
In early 2015, ARM announced a suite of IP for Premium Mobile designs, with the ARM® Cortex®-A72 Processor delivering a 3.5x increase in sustained delivered performance over 28nm Cortex-A15 designs…
Bridge Shield A common Shield for Raspberry Pi & Arduino UNO
The Initial SparkWe often faced lot of issues with multiple voltage levels, too many adapters & regulators in almost all our projects. We also realized that in many instance we do require some basic add…
Next evolution of the Set-Top Box: Move to the Cloud
The dawn of cable-TV systems started over 30 years ago, marked by the need for an electronic tuning device to receive TV channels available on frequencies not able to be tuned in by standard television…
Is there going to be more than one OS running in your next design?
With so many ARM based multicore boards coming to market we are hearing more about systems running multiple operating systems on similar cores (SMP, symmetric multi-processing) or differing cores (AMP…
Innovation on ARM Cortex Processors
Since 2014, there has been an ever increasing number devices shipping with ARMv8-A based Cortex Processors – ranging from $65 smartphones to premium flagship devices.
Comparing ARM Cortex-A72 and ARM Cortex-A57
The latest high-performance ARMv8-A processor is the Cortex-A72.The press release reports that the A72 delivers CPU performance that is 50x greater than leading smartphones from five years ago and will…
Do you find 3D programming boring ?
For a long time, I've not really been interested in 3D programming.(Well, I've done some minor OpenGL programming many years ago, but I must admit that I'm more of a dev-tools programmer)After watching…
Video interview with silicon debug expert Mark LaVine
On the list of activities that system designers enjoy doing, “debugging” is invariably near the bottom. That’s because it is often complicated, time-consuming and downright frustrating to track down and…
