ARM Community: ARM Events - ARM Community

CES this year is awash with innovative technology to power our connected lives. For years, technologists have talked about a future where our digital life is seamlessly integrated at home, at work, and on the go. In this future world, devices would work together to connect us to each other and to our content and high-performance processors (equivalent to super computers of the past) would power these new visionary devices. Well all I can say is this year at CES the future is now.

Are you part of the tablet craze yet? No - then you must meet the Motorola Xoom tablet!
I’m a tablet convert. If I wasn’t, CES 2011 would definitely convert me. For the first time I can explore the show and stay up to date with no laptop required staying connected with only a couple of 3G ...

The excitement is building for the ARM Technology Conference (Techcon) as you’ve seen from my colleagues blogs on the show: Erik Ploof highlighted the overview of the show as well as my blog about ChipEstimate’s video interview with Ian Ferguson; ARM Fellow Rob Aitken articulated Why You Belong at Chip Design Day; Alan Tringham highlighted the microcontroller (MCU) tracks and provided a separate look for System Designers. Not to be left out (no, I’m not competitive), I polled a couple of internal folks and compiled a list of our favorite sessions from ARM and ...

ARM particular business model means ARM success is foremost its Partners’. That’s why we naturally opened our blogs to ARM Connected Community (CC) Partners; so we can share experience and discuss future ARM Powered® products in a consolidated place on ARM.com.

We are delighted to have already featured nine of our 725+ Partners.

8GE2FF22NUER 坐了12个小时的飞机，从剑桥赶到深圳的我站在集成电路应用展（China IC EXPO）的展板前，试图找到ARM中国区总经理兼销售副总裁吴雄昂在高峰论坛上演讲的时间。一个观众来到我身旁，问我论坛演讲的议程安排。我指了指正在看的展板。他眯着眼睛看了半天，嘀咕了一句，怎么全是ARM阵营的。没错。要不是提前查过这个展会，我可能会以为这是ARM和合作伙伴联办的一个专题讨论会。10个演讲，有7个是ARM的客户或者合作伙伴。比如福州瑞芯微电子有限公司的市场总监陈峰先生，就在他的演讲中，把ARM和Android的结合应用以形象生动的方式让听众了解到ARM架构在开源操作系统上的优势。...

June 4th marks the last day of Computex 2010 Taipei. With so many innovative and revolutionary designs being displayed at the show, I am looking forward to the day when all of the devices are available to consumers. We have seen some great highlights this week, and you can take a look at more news and media surrounding ARM and the ARM Community.

ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson, TI Form Linux Company
By Suzanne Deffree, EDN, June 3, 2010
Six major electronics industry companies are putting their weight behind open source, announcing the formation of a not-for-profit company committed to providing new resources and industry alignment for software developers using Linux on SOCs. The company, Linaro, starts up with support from ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson, and Texas Instruments, all of which will invest resources in open-source projects that can then be used by Linux-based distributions.

We are mid week now at Computex 2010 and if you are attending the show, I would be surprised if you hadn’t already seen multiple ARM Powered Devices around the show floor. Everyone is talking about Tablets and what role they are expected to play in the market, but in other exciting news Qualcomm’s announced that they began shipping their third-generation ARM-based Snapdragon processor. Below you will find more news media on what’s happening at Computex around ARM and the ARM Community.

ARM Readies Dual Core CPU Onslaught With 1.2 GHz Snapdragon
By Jason Mick, Daily Tech, June 1, 2010
There's no secret why the ARM architecture has trounced the x86 architecture in the mobile arena. The lowest Intel mobile processors (utilizing the Atom architecture) can get is 0.65 W (800 MHz Silverthorne, Atom Z Series), while ARM processors are typically well below half a watt in power consumption.

Some people say, Computex this year in Taipei, Taiwan June 1-5th is going to be awesome. Last year we saw the ARM alliance announced the Laptop 2.0 concept device - smartbook with All-day use, Always On, Always Connected features and lots of OEM/ODM demonstrated their smartbook concepts in front of public and it was a great experience.

Computex is one of the largest computer trade shows in the world and it focuses on the both high and low end-products and components that make up the computers we use on a daily basis. It used to be the show for the local manufacturing firms to show off some of their latest technology to foreign buyers. Now Computex is one of the leading trade shows that caters to every aspect of the computer industry and also combines various consumer based products.

Besides the technology update from the ecosystem partners on Chrome OS and Flash support which demonstrating full internet browsing experiences on consumer-grade products, this year we expect more and more Android based devices at Computex ...

Like many of you I'm sure, I played with LEGO as a kid. When asked what I was going to do when I grew up, I gave the answers that everyone expected of me…"train driver" or "fireman". But secretly I dreamed of a job where I could spend all my time building things with my favorite toy... Well thanks to ARM's cool technology it has come true (well in-between my regular day job anyway)! As I got older, I became interested in puzzle solving, electronics and programming and my "expectations" gradually changed from train driver to chip designer. However, my hobby and dream have remained essentially the same and I continue to enjoy dabbling in construction, electronics, mathematics and software programming in my spare time.

Over the last year or so, I designed, built and programmed several LEGO machines capable of solving the well-known Rubik's cube puzzle. They are all created from off-the-shelf components (one of which may well be in your pocket right now) - a Nokia N95 mobile phone, various LEGO sets including a Mindstorms NXT robotic kit and freely available ...

WOW…What a great show CES was for ARM and its Partners! It’s no wonder the energy and excitement you find on the show floor translates into an abundance of press coverage and news articles. Below are some of the articles I found most interesting:

CES: The Magic is Back
Rob Enderle, TechNewsWorld
After two relatively ho-hum years, CES is crackling again. This year was not overshadowed by any particular device -- there were plenty of exhibitors making star turns. There were lots of tablets and Androids, 3-D TVs and 3-D games. There were also a slew of e-books on display, and a particularly interesting technology that could revolutionize that market.

ARM is often talked about in mobile phone circles, but today I got to see another emerging area that ARM is turning out to be the solution of choice, Femto cells.
Here at CES, I spent some time at the Femtozone, the Femto forum’s booth. Femto cells are an exciting new emerging area where service providers are deploying a box that creates your very own cellular network in your home that gets connected to the rest of the cell network using existing broadband services in the home.
One could ask why would I want to do that? Well the answer is that, sometimes in suburban areas there is spotty coverage, so if you have a femtocell in your home, you and your family, could use your cell phone services more effectively and have a seamless user experience as you walk into your home.
There are some companies such as Alcatel-Lucent in collaboration with Sagem, who have deployed these boxes. One of ARM’s partners picoChip is helping these customers with their ARM based base station in a box solution.
As I talked to Rupert Baines, their VP of marketing, it was quite exciting to hear how the ARM processor is us...

Wednesday October 21st marked day one of ARM TechCon3 2009. Starting off the morning with the Cortex-A5 and Mali Developer Center announcements, the buzz and energy on the show floor seemed to exude to the enthusiasm and excitement around ARM technology. Below are some highlighted media from these two announcements.

The Cortex-A5 processor is raising the bar for energy efficient design and connectivity. This ARM processor will not only enable high-end performance in low-end devices, but has the potential to make true connectivity in developing nations a reality. Watch the video below from ARM On-Site at TechCon3 with Eric Schorn to hear more about the Cortex-A5 and what to look forward to with this tiny processor that packs a lot of power.
