Simon Segars, EVP and GM of PIPD Division at ARM, opened the 7th annual ARM TechCon in a warm and sunny Santa Clara today. The first day of the conference focused on chip design Simon hosted the morning keynotes which started with a talk by Senior Vice President of R&D at TSMC, Dr Shang-Yi Chiang who talked in front of a standing room only auditorium about the TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP) and the ARM Connected Community.

Second up was Walden C. Rhines from Mentor Graphics who gave a very entertaining and interesting keynote about how differentiation starts at the prod...

The ARM Connected Community stole the front page yesterday at Embedded World, as well as pages two, three and four with an avalanche of news and new ARM processor-based products.

On top of announcements from Monday were Fujitsu, NXP and Keil, and yesterday we saw more hot news announcements from Xilinx, Microsoft, Texas Instruments and ...

If you’re in Nuremberg at Embedded World next week be sure to drop by the ARM stand (hall10, booth 343) to see how ARM and Embedded Labs are redefining the architecture of industrial automation systems. For many years the industrial automation market has dreamt of a new era of smart devices, where every device in the system can freely communicate at all levels of the enterprise. Leveraging the power of the ARM Cortex-M3 processor and OPC-UA, Embedded Labs have made this dream a reality.

What is OPC-UA and why is it important?
OPC-UA is a communications standard from the OPC Foundation that is gaining traction not only in the industrial automation industry, but also in building automation and smart grid applications. OPC-UA was designed from the ground up to be multi-platform and enables seamless communication between all components of an automation system and the enterprise.

The ARMv7-M architecure profile was created to address the needs of the microcontroller (MCU) market for the high-performance combined with low power and small size. To the Cortex-M0 processor, the smallest footprint MCU processor and the Cortex-M3 processor offering more capability and a richer instruction set, at last year’s Embedded World, ARM added the Cortex-M4 processor.

The Cortex-M4 processor’s strength is particularity in its DSP instructions as well as its optional VFP (floating point) optional extension making it a perfect processor for Digital Signal Control (DSC). The first silicon I saw was presented a...

The ARM Cortex-M4 being nominated for the ELEKTRA Awards 2010 in the Semiconductor Product of the Year – Digital category was great news. Simon Axford and I booked our place at the table, booked the chauffeur drive and brought out our dinner jackets for an evening in London. Though the ARM Cortex-M4 processor is an absolutely wonderful product, like most of us, we were trying to keep expectations low. We just wanted to enjoy the dinner and the company but at the back of our minds, we were thinking about what we might say in case, just in case, we did win!

ARM’s pervasive impact
Arriving at the Lancaster Hotel, the awards hall took my breath away. I had not expected it to be such a high profile ceremony. There were nearly about 20 awards categories and a few hundred people in the room. Looking through the nominations list, Simon and I noted there were so many ARM based products in contention! The Cortex-M4 processor itself was competing against Cortex-M0 and ...

After a demanding, but thoroughly enjoyable, three days the 6th ARM Technology Conference has just come to an end.

So we managed to put together a final day overview video today in which we get to see:

What did we do before somebody invented microcontrollers? Answers on a postcard please.

It does seem hard to imagine a life without those little things that control our cars, our washing machines, our kids’ toys, in fact almost everything around us at home, at work and on the move seems to contain a microcontroller.

There is certainly no escape from them at the ARM TechCon, so for designers looking to include an MCU in their next project the ARM TechCon is a must visit event.

As most people will know, ARM has low power in its DNA and the development of the Cortex-M series of MCU processors is chock full of ARM genes. From the launch of the Cortex-M3 in 2005, the Cortex-M series has grown to include a processor for just about every low power MCU application imaginable. From the ultra low power Cortex-M0 processor which is rapidly displacing inefficient 8 and 16-bit devices from designs, up to the ...

I have just been attending the Embedded Systems Conference 2010 here in sunny Boston - wonderful temperatures of 70-83F. For anyone like me who has now forgotten what Fahrenheit means, it's 21-28C. I thought I would put this in for the benefit of my colleague, friend and "anchor man" Andy Frame, who usually gives us a weather report. Not much chance to enjoy the weather though, as I've spent most of the time scuttling around in air-conditioned conference halls reviewing ESC Boston’s ARM’s Cortex-M3 development kits from Actel, Fujitsu, NXP, ST & TI.

The semiconductor IP industry is truly fascinating…Being the world’s leading semiconductor IP vendor, ARM is in the unique position of developing technology that shapes the future of electronics that surrounds us. The decisions we make today drive the incredible range of possibilities for the industry over the next few years. When we were developing the Cortex-M4, we would talk everyday about the kinds of cool products it would enable one day.

Now we are one big step closer to this being a reality!

Freescale has announced an incredible portfolio of over 200 MCUs based on the Cortex-M4 processor. The Kinetis family provides a large and highly scalable product portfolio, with the Cortex-M4 running at between 50MHz and 180 MHz across 7 product families.

It’s a very exciting time for the Cortex-M4 team at ARM right now. It is very satisfying to see exciting new products making it to the market so soon after processor IP availability. This is a huge testament to the ARM technology and business model!

It’s July 2010 and this week (and next) I’m travelling with a few of my ARM colleagues as we visit some of the hot beds of ARM embedded design in China with the four city 2010 ARM Embedded Development Seminar road show highlighting ARM’s Cortex-M microcontroller processor family, our Partners’ ARM-based products and ARM’s tools for Linux. This blog and the next will detail the events as well as my experiences in China, including my typical weather updates.

The tour started off last Monday in Shanghai near to where the first ARM China office was opened in 2002 and now employs a team of 22.

An overview of the full event and schedule is available at http://www.arm.com/files/event/ARM-Embedde...eminar-2010.pdf

The morning of each event is dedicated to presentations from ARM. I present three presentations: Targeting new microcontroller markets with the Cortex™-M...

This week I’m in Orlando, Florida at the Freescale Technology Forum or FTF Americas as it is also known. True to form my visits to the US this year covering the Embedded System Shows (ESC) in San Jose and Chicago, as each of my previous event blogs this year has highlighted, the weather is promising rain, this time in the form of isolated thunder storms! But enough about the weather - the big news today has been the announcement of the Kinetis microcontroller family based on the Cortex-M4. As you may already know the Cortex-M4 is the latest product in the Cortex-M processor line up, joining the ...

Having moved from the UK to Austin a year ago I was both elated and surprised to hear the announcement last Tuesday that Formula 1 is coming to Austin in 2012. I've always liked fast cars so I couldn't have been more happy. One thing I didn't expect on moving here was to be able to attend a local F1 event. Hot weather, big trucks and rodeo? Check! Expected that. F1?.....Not so much. Although as Austin doesn't currently have a suitable circuit I hope they can get it all sorted in time...

Talking of fast cars, about a year after I joined Acorn Computers as a recent graduate, just around the time my boss Mike Muller was attempting to spin out ARM (it worked out OK), I attended the 1990 Birmingham Motor Show where the star of the show was the newly revealed TVR Griffith. When I saw it I said to myself "I'm going to have one of those when I can afford it". It took me 10 years to affor...

有人说，今年 6 月 1 日 至 5 日在中国台湾台北市举行的国际电脑展 (Computex) 将是一场大放异彩的盛会。去年，我们看到了 ARM 联盟发布的 Laptop 2.0 概念设备 — 配有全天使用 (All-day use)、持续运作 (Always On)、保持联机 (Always Connected) 功能的智能本，很多 OEM/ODM 也公开展示了其智能本概念，那是一次特别非凡的体验。

Computex 是世界最大的计算机贸易展之一，它同时聚焦高端和低端产品及组件，这些产品和组件构成了我们日常使用的计算机。该电脑展原本为本地制造公司向国外购买者展示其某些最新技术的展会。如今，Computex 已经成为满足计算机行业各个方面需求，并融合了各种基于消费者的产品的顶级贸易展之一。

I had a fantastic week in San Jose at the 2010 Embedded Systems Conference and I’m pleased to say that, contrary to the original weather reports, the weather actually held out most of the time during the week with a little rain on the Tuesday. I think the fact that I’m English makes me so (bad) weather obsessed!

I managed to catch up with many of the ARM silicon partners and third party tools vendors and some of those interviewed have already been posted on the ARMflix YouTube channel. Obviously I wasn’t able to meet all of the 700+ members of the ARM Connected Community but that leaves plenty of scope for the next event.

Just before the show wrapped up on Thursday I managed to speak to Dan Isaacs, Director Technical Marketing at Xilinx about the newly announced Extensible Processing Platform.

Earlier in the week at the show Xilinx had announced the new Extensible Processing Platform that ‘will deliver unrivalled levels of system performance, flexibility and...

Express Logic gave me a quick update on their ARM products and showed me four demos. My favorite was how they brought new life to their MP3 demo.

Jacko Wilbrink from Atmel discusses their announcement of the two ARM926 processor based embedded MPUs for industrial embedded systems that require secured connectivity and authentication. He also shows me live demos o...

Harry Potter would almost certainly be very impressed if he took his Nimbus 2001 broomstick for a spin around the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC). For sure the event will be attended by plenty of Dumbledore-like wizards and alleged psychics in the industry, some with a stronger link to the other side than others, willing to take money to read corporate palms or expound on the direction the semiconductor industry will take over the next twelve months to avoid the clutches of the Death Eaters. There will be plenty of games and prizes on the show floor with the same buzz as the Quidditch World Cup with no risk of being bludgeoned by beaters or seeing the ...

…you could see to ‘Ackney marshes, if it wasn’t for the ‘ouses in between”. That chorus from a music hall song may not mean much if you weren’t born in the East End of London, but it came to mind as I walked around the Embedded World show last week. In most areas of the show floor you couldn’t look anywhere without your view being interrupted by ARM logos or Cortex-M3 demos. Actel, Atmel, Energy Micro, NXP, ST, TI and ...

Anybody visiting this year’s Embedded World conference in Nurnberg could be forgiven for thinking that the event is co-sponsored by ARM due to the amount of ARM Powered devices and ARM Connected Community Partners actively participating in the event.

In fact this year the conference has dedicated a whole track to the Cortex-M family of processors, indicating exactly how pervasive the range has become throughout the embedded industry!

The list of ARM Partners who have chosen the event to unveil new ARM processor-based products or additions to their existing product lines is extensive but includes Actel, NXP, STMicroelectronics, Energy Micro and ...
